Probably getting ahead of myself here but have we seen enough from Benezet to pull the trigger on a permanent deal? Thoughts?

Yea, Gallardo is cheap. Only a TAM player cos if the transfer fee which I imagine wasn't much more than half a mill.
Plus the comments Vanney and Curtis made about him when he signed suggests he's a project. I wont be making any conclusions on him till this time next year. Saravino at RSL took a little while to get going in MLS but is clearly a baller. Would hope the same for Gallardo.
Apparently we kicked tires on Gotze.

About Auro ..
I think people listen to that moron Caldwell who hates on Auro and think hes actually bad when the stats show otherwise.
I like this guy, IMO Auro is good enough for what TFC is paying him, a solid addition to our team, but not THIS good...
I mean the best RB in MLS according to these stats? WTF??
If so than these stats are BS, and not reflecting reality. 79% passig accuracy? OK, right, but how many of these were meaningless back passes when he got to the half of that final 3rd (our attacking 3rd of the field), or lateral passes?
I had issues with Auro's defending up to and including the NYRB loss. After that, something between him & Gonzalez gelled - his positioning has been much better since.
I still think he doesn't play the ball fast enough at times but he's also getting better at that.
I'm happy with the 4 FB's we have right now.
Congrats to Auro making the best XI, I agree he is delicate for sure but we could definitely do worse (Zav's)
While checking out the best XI it looks like DC's Hamid take the top keeper position also since we are going up against them next
I think he’s good but I like Laryea better. He’s well rounded, improving quickly in a position he’s never played before six months ago, and scares the crap out of people with his pace.
I like them both. Have no issue with our fullbacks in general but I think it would be good to find someone more modern to replace Morrow. Get some trade value there while we can.
Bingo. Got it right on the money. Trade Morrow while you still have the chance. Go get a good LB (should be our top priority in the off season). New LB, Laryea, Auro and Morgan is good full back depth in the MLS. Adding another good CB with the money from Bono and Zavaleta should be next after that. Last thing is the Bradley situation. If he leaves (hope he stays), gotta find someone that will fill those huge shoes. If he stays at TAM, I’d look for an upgrade over Delgado as our 8. Box to box DP.
If Bradley goes, we are going to need a destroyer with passing skills.
