^^Didn't he play on the wing in NE?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Today...
Today has been a good day.
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.
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.
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.
Can't wait til we have similar discussions about equally deep roster at CB.
Best part about this season...
Is how entertaining its gonna be. Oh man...
