im hoping he doesnt have some issue from his past, Luke Rodgers style.  But who knows, hopefully someone asks the team in a press conference.

That or Covid is the only explanation I can think of for the delay.

Reading about the French kid Cabral that the Galaxy just bought, the signing was obviously in the works for a while but was only made official today.  It was reported that Cabral would be joining the Galaxy in Tucson, where the team has been playing this week.  Meaning that the player would be joining the team within a day or two of when he signed.

 

Is it just me, or is RBNY the only team where it consistently takes weeks if not months to physically bring a guy here from Europe?

French kid Cabral ... joining the Galaxy in Tucson


Coming via Mexico?

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

...as a USMNT fan, I think its sweet we we are going to have Clark, Harper, Duncan, and Long playing potentially as starters together. The only reason Clark and Harper came here (and they aren't secretive about it) is the pathway to Europe. With RB its "Metro makes and the Nats take" and I love that.

 

Motherfucking THIS.

Additionally, as a USMNT fan, I think its sweet we we are going to have Clark, Harper, Duncan, and Long playing potentially as starters together. The only reason Clark and Harper came here (and they aren't secretive about it) is the pathway to Europe. With RB its "Metro makes and the Nats take" and I love that. As a further tangent, if a portion of this group do make the move to Europe, I bet the floodgates open for young foreign and domestic players to push for a move to RB. You see it with Haksa's comments, Harper's move, Clark's move ...     

 

Add Frankie Amaya to that list!

Starting to feel better given the quantity of new players. Not sure about their quality.

The press better be turned up to 11 this year with so many young players to rotate through.

Candidly this has been one of the best offseasons in team history.

 

Adds: Coronel, Gutman, Reyes, Edwards, Diarra, Amaya, Harper, Fabio... Assuming the Klimaka deal happens (I hear it will), that's nine new players into the fold and all nine should play at least fairly regularly. 

 

That's a major talent overhaul and the team remains young. Amaya is the real surprise and could really turn into something for us.

Not sure i would consider this one of the best offseasons ever. Alot of these guys are projects and we have to see how they fit into the team. I am not knocking any of the incoming talent but I am not rolling out a red carpet for them.

I wouldnt be surprised if we have a lot of rotations. hopefully rbny's press turns the rest of the league into paninis.

The details re the MLS U22 thing has been released. Got a headache trying to read through all that legalese.
