Like sekagya sounds good


Bernardo is relatively old (27 y.o.) CB at RB Salzburg with 1.5 years left on his contract.

Willi Orban is an old CB at RB Leipzig but I believe he is still pretty good so they may not want to give him up.  He's also a team leader.

Moneyball Moneyball.

Everyone's playing moneyball {insert rant about analytics taking over sports}, they just have to do it consistently well and not too cheaply. Promising signs with the new guy so far.


RED. BULL. OUT.

If spending ~$5M per year in transfers like we have been is considered moneyball, then I've lost the meaning of the word

Is there a stat for "average years played in MLS"? I feel like that would look a lot more favorable than average age. At most spots, we're two deep with guys who have played several years in a either MLS or an equivalent league.

also if its the full roster first the 18 that actually play for us it will skew young as well.  We have guys like Ofori and Estrela on first team deals that are essentially glorified RB2 deals to protect their value while they develop.

but as you mention team is experienced at MLS level or higher at several spots so the young age is probably a plus due to growth potential and legs to press

That's a great combo. Being as young as we are but super experienced is fantastic. Cool to see. A lot of continuity from last year to this year as well and that's only going to help.

I know the MLS site isn't always right but i am really surprise given we paid a transfer fee than Manoel is not a TAM or U22 guy.  Based on the roster we only have 2 senior DPs (Vanzeir) and one U22 player (Reyes).  Conceptually that gives us space to either sign 1 senior DP with our last slot, or 2 U22 players (or one 1 young do 1 u22).  The Yearwood moving off U22 makes sense with leftover TAM we have you can bring his cap hit lower than U22 slot can since his fee was small.

So Estrela is ''Supplemental Slots 31'', but "A club's active roster is comprised of up to 30 players."

Season long loan to NYRBII so won't count. He held the same designation last year.
