Struber likes playing 2 forwards. Only Barlow and White are currently on the roster. I think at least two Strikers are coming and I bet Struber is planning on those newbies to be the primary starters. DP strikers are back on the menu, boys!

I get the logic and I hope you're right. I'll just believe it when I see it.

If we had Ruidiaz as opposed to Barlow or Jorgensen, it could be us in the final on Saturday...

Yeah Ruidiaz and Will Bruin seemed to do ok.  Rudiaz and Brian White would be pretty good. 

Man i love Ruidiaz - such a great player.  and to think Bebelo Reynoso is lighting it up. - Along with Lucas Zelarayan.  

There better be some serious activity this transfer window.  Just 1 of those players makes everyone around them better.  much better.


Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

I highly doubt that but that's just because I feel our problem is more then the striker position. That being said we would have a better team without Barlow and Jorgensen which makes me wonder, did he fail here because of skills or our lack of development...

Elite striker + Lloyd Sam-level winger + lock starter CM would've made this a different kind of season. But we might still have Armas!

Kind of the beauty of MLS though isn't it? The parity rules can be a joke but its nice to know you're always just a few solid moves away from being a real competitor again

I wish it was even difficult but MLS has a pretty simple formula for roster success.

 

DP 9

DP 10 or Winger

 

 

American GK, LB, RB

 

TAM/GAM CM/CB

 

one of the attacking 4 will be american/greencard and not crazy expensive, 2 will be DPs and 1 will be TAM/GAM

I dialed it back to Lloyd Sam level but you're right
