....  But right now, the starting 11 isn't too bad, as long as no one gets hurt.

Yeah, you can pretty much count on it, which is why I'd like to see them bring in a few more players.  LB, maybe a RB if Edwards falls through (or even if he doesn't fall through, since he'll b be out for a while), a striker.  Maybe even another CB.

my argument is that we need an insurance option of klimala goes down. To rely on unproven kids who did not light up the usl and a forward who cant shoot is a recipe for disaster.

The vet forward is only a band aid until the kids are ready. You can still play and test out the kids in sub appearances to see if they are MLS ready. Worst case scenario, the vet challenges the kids to be better players


Striker isnt the only position where this is an issue. If Tolkin goes down, the backup is Castillo from RB2? Dru has been injury prone, CCJ has national team duty and you are relying on a frail 18 year old in Edelman or Amaya who doesnt even want to play as an 8.

If tolkin goes down, pendant can handle a few cameo appearances. We had a few shutouts with him at LB when he was a starter under armas. None of our forwards have proven they can handle cameo appearances.

At cm we have enough depth. Amaya, dru and casseres should be able to rotate. They are all experienced players and proven MLS players. Worst case scenario, tolkin can fill in.

Where is he?

To my knowledge, he is still a nyrb player and has not been loaned out. He played last year with rb2 but should be back with the fullteam
