    So again, if true. Today we have 2DPs and does anyone know what our payroll looks like. I think we have money to spend.

    He would accept way less than tam to be with arena...this new england is fighting for titles and if theres one coach in the league who can bring the best out of players who are in all types of stages and situations in their career its him...wouldnt be surprised if he becomes a very strong player for them and it comes back to bite...specially that they are in the eastern conference

    If Arena was smart, he'd bring him on as a second half sub in that game

    I think in that case, he gets a standing o.

    Something like $4M in space still available, without including Jesus Jimenez. We may want to roll over some of the Richie GAM to next season

    He told Gonzalez when he signed he was a backup (I still think he's lost way too much, and had shortcomings all along, to make that sensible). I imagine he's told Jozy he's behind Buksa and Bou as a supersub. Neither of the are going to see more than 30 mins a game, normally.

    But... I think they train on that shit, too. Better have a greeeeat physio.

    So we still have space for a DP striker with two of the three DPs off the books.

    Yep plenty of room. If Salcedo switches to TAM, that burns some of that space, but we still have a lot of room to maneuver

    This would be the most ideal... Best 11:

    #1 Insgine (DP)
    #2 RW (DP)
    #3 Pozuelo(DP)
    #4 Salcedo
    #5 Striker - Jiminez/Giovinco (1 only)
    #6 Osorio
    #7 defensive midfielder
    #8 Mavinga
    #9 Left back
    #10 Auro Jr.
    #11 Westberg


    Bench: Bradley, O'Niel, Priso, Akinola, Peruzza, Shaff, McNaughton, Achara etc.

    I'm ok with Bradley and Shaff being regulars in squad rotation but they shouldn't be in our best 11 imo.

    They'll save him as a supersub in away games on grass.

    I've heard that BMO Field has a pretty decent playing surface...

I don't think we'll need to drop someone like Pozuelo to get him.

    Now bringing back DeRo was a really important righting of wrongs that signalled to the players that the team was under new (more ethical) management but it's also possible that there are important psychological benefits to having an eager Giovinco in the locker room. The team kept Ashtone Morgan for years mainly for locker room psychology, he barely ever played. Maybe Giovinco will play a similar role beyond fan nostalgia.

    Now if they hurt the team by overpaying Giovinco or playing him when they shouldn't this won't apply, but Bradley is a seasoned manager who gets more decisions right than wrong. Listening to Bradley, I read it differently than MikeForbes, he didn't seem too quick to commit to signing Giovinco, it was more like wait and see how he is once he shakes off some of the rust and if they can work out the right deal.
    I was not inferring releasing anyone. I was referring more to the fact that someone will have to give up playing time for him. Seba is historically quiet coming off the bench (I will concede that wonder goal vs NYRB in 2015) so by default he would need to start in order to get into the game. By that margin, who do we sit? That was the question I was asking, or at least attempting to

    Wow. I never thought we'd be able to unload his contract. This offseason has been incredible.

    A guy goes to bed early and misses some big news. Jozy's buyout makes sense to be announced tonight as part of a Friday news dump.

    It’s potentially a low-risk, high reward move. Worst case these signings won’t hamstring the Revs anymore than Gallardo and Zavs did TFC. Which is to say, if could be a thorn in their side if they don’t create the necessary depth and starters are injured. But if everyone’s healthy it won’t mean much.

    Yeah this is it.

    I mean Jimenez is going to cost us what, $3-4M all in? I like that move, same as most here, but there is risk in that, who among us had ever heard of Jesus Jimenez a month ago, or really knows what to make of his career?

    If Jozy costs say, $2M all in ( I am making all these numbers up, just trying to illustrate a thought process)… and you are Bruce Arena and you know Jozy incredibly well, and you get somewhat comfortable on the medical stuff…

    At the right price and with the expectation of being a super sub that could be a really astute signing for the revs. I'm just happy it's all over with, mostly, and hope he's received well here on his return

    Eventually?

    A little interesting exchange between Cristian Tello and Carlos Salcedo on Instagram. Might of been lost in translation, but Carlos said he awaits Cristian soon.

    Tello and Salcedo overlapped in Fiorentina. So could be that they just want to catchup soon. But Tello has been a long time target for TFC! Let’s make it happen

    Do we have any spies in Austin with Rollerblades? Should see Osorio, Lawerence and hopefully Jimenez?

    Was watching some Insigne highlights like we all should, and one of his highlights with the National team felt almost literally like that NDL screamer that took us to the 2019 WC - standing defenders and a curling shot that beats the GK. That's against a Belgian backline.

    Imagine this against MLS defenders.

    I like the idea of it... but another left-sider... but has played right-winger... but then Insigne and JJ would be competing for their jobs.

    All in good fun, why not? If The Price Is Right. But I suspect too expensive. Although don't we have historical connects with Real Betis? And his contract is up?

    An interesting candidate since, in reality, I prefer roster construction with depth versatility-redundancy options.
