Well, when you hire Gavin Wilkinson and his baggage, Hamlett actually doesn't look that bad.

That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it would be a huge signing. Like the biggest young player signing in league history by far. The dude is one of the top attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga this year.

He could play at the 10 or on the wing. A front four of Vanzeir, Morgan, Forsberg, Simons would be something.

But yeah, no way that happens.

Some guys I would be interested in for depth spots on the defense side:
1. Donovan Pines- CB to help rotate in with nealis/reyes. He's at a good age of 25 too.
2. WIll trapp- Veteran DM that could play when Edelman isn't available. Amaya/stroud are more 8s.
3. Jonathan Mensah- Veteran CB with a lot of MLS experience. This team needs 2 back up CBs with nocita and Ndam gone. Alexander is young and will be the 5th CB/RB2 starter.


Trapp has a big contract at $784K, so he wouldn't be a great pickup in phase 1 of the reentry draft. Similarly, Mensah is on $1 million.

Pines is a much lower cap hit.

They tried an old FA with Burke last year. Wonder if that scared them off.


Well, Acosta is only 28 and would provide a veteran presence, as well as the ability to slot in at outside back if needed.

LAFC is trying to resign him and all of their other FAs though: "The Club is in talks to retain McCarthy, Maldonado, Gaines, Leone, and Rosales as well as free agents Carlos Vela, Diego Palacios, Kellyn Acosta, and Max Crépeau."

Kellyn Acosta as well, even if he isn't a must have.

Picault is from NY and would be an interesting veteran backup on the wings. It's hard to believe that he's 32. It seems like yesterday that everyone was talking about the Cagliari youth player...
