Looks like Viking Army is back on the Menu, boys.

Bogert is confirming. Something like 1.9M transfer fee

Michy Batshuayi? 

 

Last 5 months of Fenerbahce contract... They bought him for $3.5MM from Chelsea. Was reports of Rangers trying to get him during the European window.

more forsberg plays

 

Manoel not looking good in any of the Forsberg plays... theres one where Forsberg is just waiting for him to come onsides, and he doesnt.... 

 

 

 

 

On those end to end plays, I saw sort of rotating triangles on the wings... i wonder if thats some sort of pattern...

Miami is going to need to start shedding players soon (Feb 20?)

 

 

What about this guy as a project/depth piece. 

Shanyder Borgelin - Google Search

Looks like a target guy, but maybe a touch awkward in movement. 

 

 

I'd really love Campana, but it seems like money (and DP slots) arent a concern for them....

Only yellow and Legacy are options this year.

I desire for the yellow to be unceremoniously jettisoned. That sucks. 




#1442467 Do we have a forward?

#RBNY Emil Forsberg on Dante Vanzier, "He has very good striker moves. He knows where to position himself and then his ability to score is - of course as everybody knows - very good. He just needs to make himself open and he will get the passes from me. I know where he is."

Man. I love Forsberg already. He's giving me Henry level vibes. Do what I say, and we will win. 




#1442343 Cameron Harper signed from Celtic

Posted by 67% Class on 09 February 2024 - 12:21 PM

I'm thinking this is Cameron Harper's year to prove his professional level. I think he looks great as a speedster out wide on the right... Pretty sure Sandro utilizes the outside backs for that?

The problem all year was bad finishing.

 

What have we done to improve that?

 

 

Got rid of Barlow?

 

 

Stuck heads in sand and pretended things will magically get better. No different than any other year.

 

Getting rid of Barlow and Omir (2/5 of strikers) makes me assume the plan was (at least when those departures were organized) to add strikers this offseason. I'm at one of three current situations:

 

1) They will still fill those spots left by Omir and Barlow with upgraded talent

2) They had plans to fill, targets identified, but deals fell apart, and now are figuring it out.

3) RB org (money) changed their mind on opening purse strings for a Striker - maybe Schneider didnt get as much as was forecasted for Luqs and RB org is worried about putting good money after bad?

 

If there was not going to be moves in the striker department, keeping at least one of Barlow/Omir on the roster makes sense. Something either went off the rails, or something is still in the works.

.... we also have healthy Vanzeir, Morgan, and Forsberg on the field...

I think last season sort of proved that is unlikely.

I hope he comes to NY for Metro. James has the talent to be the MLS MVP.. And I think the fact that MLS has a playoff system and plays during extremely warm months during the regular season will actually benefit James' style of play and fits with how he approaches the game...

He can generate offense and possession and is very clutch and if he doesn't play 90 mins every match during June through July I'm sure he won't mind.. He definitely would expect to start and I don't think any MLS can afford to sign him and not bother starting him as much as possible which is what he always gripes about...

With James you can't play him 95 minutes every week... He'd break down physically.. He won't be the staunchiest defender. But he makes everyone else around him better when he gets the ball and he can score and makes clutch goals...

Word on the musk-tron is this guy makes James Rodriquez a no go for RSL.... 

 

I'm not sure he's a fit for RB at all, but seems like one of his suitors has dropped out.

Excited to watch this weekend. We need more additions, but my big question is striker set up. Is Sandro planning to primarily play a two forward system? Then we really need another forward. If its a 1 striker set up, then Vanzier, Manoel, Ngoma might be ok? I don't think any of those guys are really 1 striker type dudes, but I can def be wrong. Feels like you need a target guy to pair with each of them.

 

--------------Vanzier---------

---Morgan--Fors---Harp/Ngoma--

-----------Edel---Amay-----

Tolk --- Sneal----Rey-----Dunc

Hartford posted a video of Burke having a PK saved.

Tough viewing angle, but was that a slow pass to the keeper? Oh my. 




#1442207 Messi plays in MLS

Posted by 67% Class on 05 February 2024 - 01:51 PM

Why's that? What happened?

I think Messi can't play every game, as its preseason, and tickets were sold for high price as tickets to see Messi. 

 

They also have been embarrassed a couple times.
