    will be interesting to see if this is going on because you don't trade a CB unless you already have a deal on the table for another.
    Khano Smith? yeah right. Unless we are trading him the last thing we need is another midfielder.

    Maybe I am over analyzing Mo's 'Great problem to have'

    But by my calculations this lists us with:

    Barrett
    Vitti
    Dichio
    Ibbi
    Richardson
    White
    Hall
    and potentially Khano??

    I mean there is a big difference between a problem and an epidemic.
    I would assume Ibbi goes to reserves, maybe even Hall, so does that leave
    Barrett, Vitti, Dichio, White with Richardson and Khano cut?
    I am very confused right now.

    what's there to be confused about Bfin? it's preseason and at some point all this will be sorted out as guys perform well or badly.

    I'm not sure that Hall can make this team, so I wouldn't worry about that.

    Great work Mo. Keep it up. Love the competition up front, who do you think is the other striker? Hall? Fuad (lol)? Trialist?
    Fuad is Ibby's first name ... I wonder how O'Brian White will fit in?

    I didn't think we had reserves this year? as far as I know you are either on the roster or you are not.

    So i guess there's no chance of signing Richardson now, we already have a full roster, and i'm not sure if we need another striker. Don't forget we have White once he's healthy as well. I was hoping to see Richardson in action though, since he kicked ass in CCL for Joe Public. We do need a CB though, or i guess we could just keep 4 defenders and stock up on strikers and use every substitution to sub them off, and get 8 goals a game, and hopefully only concede 7 haha!

    don't shoot the messenger

    I can't see the need for him either (Khano) but who knows with all of the roster stuff/shuffling that has to be done to get the players in we need. If it is indeed true maybe just trade bait

    Oh for real?
    Sorry I meant Ibbi will have a developmental spot on the roster...
    but either way my confusion remains, where do we go with all these guys? It's not like we are packaging khano for a new CB lol

    Great news this is on Vitti. Can't complain with the work MoJo has put in this offseason. Hopefully Vitti can pan out here and play well. Now just that little CB problem.

    I don't mind having the problem of too many players on tryouts and signed players. Good opertunity for Trader Mo to make an apperance.

    I don't see Richardson or Hall making the team at this point. Khano is just a stupid rumour I think. So that leaves us

    Vitti
    Barrett
    Dichio
    Ibbey
    White (when he's fit)

    I think that's pretty good.

    No Khano. Dichio, Ibrahim, Vitti, Barrett, and White. You need 4 strikers. White won’t play much this year, Dichio is likely in his last season. The trial boys will be hard pressed to make the team at forward.

    I thought Ibbey was Generations Adidas?

    there's only 2 DEV spots available. Frei and Ibby have 2 already locked up. Generation Adidas is not a free roster spot. They count as one of the 4 DEV spots. That means one of Gala, Rosenlund, and Nana will either get a promotion to the senior team or be gone.

    Though I hate to say this, we could see Gabe Gala gone soon.

    Mo has some assets he could trade too.. get rid of one of the kiddie keepers if he's desperate for room... and both have value.

    And so Richardson does not stick, and that leaves Kyle Hall...gone? Mo has said he was impressing in camp thus far, which leads me to believe he will secure himself a spot with the club (despite it being early).

    People may kill me for suggesting it...but what about Ibbi? (And perhaps Edwards/Frei, whichever is not winning the battle in camp)
    Barrett is 24, White is 23 I believe (if he can return to form), Hall is in his 20's, Vitti is 22 or 23.
    We have a wealth of options at forward, and I think Ibbi might have some, if not the most trade value left in there. Despite me loving what he could bring to the table in a couple of years, I think we are in a position to utilize his Gen adidas standing, and performance from last year to put together a package for a defender.
    Again, just putting out discussion.

    Richardson has played 1 game.. and Kyle hasn't played any right? (was he in the first game). I wouldn't get ahead of things at this point.

    Maybe Rosenlund is the one who will face a challenge from these guys.

    What I would love to see is

    1) probable week-to-week formation -- who will our main starters be
    2) the "everyone is on international duty" formation
    3) the "everyone just got back from international duty and our second string just played in San Jose on Saturday and now we have to play the frickin Impact on a Wednesday night" formation.

    It looks like we're getting towards that kind of depth in the attacking roles and between the pipes, but let's hope our back 4 doesn't get called up! (or injured!)

    Granted, It was more in response to Ives comment about Khano coming in.
    Adding a 7th forward to the mix.

    it wasn't ives comment....it was in the comments. it is why I said "and a little interesting tidbit within the feedback that may just be someone blowing smoke up our collective posteriors"

    Any bets on how long it will be before it is on that rumours site

    Impossible given the roster restrictions. This is why the league is won by the best budget balancer.

    He is though, about as much of a dressing room cancer as Carlos Ruiz or Jeff Cunningham. I hope this isn't true.
