The Harper situation is a weird one. Originally he was set to come in the summer, then they reportedly paid a fee 2-3 weeks ago and yet nothing from the team.

Wonder if they are waiting to see if something else resolves itself on the attacker front before they commit to bringing him in before the start of the season.

I really don't think ppl realize this isn't mls 2016 or even 2018 anymore - teams like fcc are out here getting really talented players.


As is with this roster we are not making the playoffs.

Agreed... I really don't see how this team wins much at all. Playing hard will always get you some wins, but you need talent, especially offensively.

Pretty sure Barlow would be an elite striker in that league. 

Let's not get carried away here

I would bet the opposite. We've overhauled a significant number of players and brought in a new coach that I refuse to believe is equal or lesser than Armas. And as soon as Draft kings offers betting futures for RBNY to make the playoffs I'd be willing to put $$ on it

10/14 teams make the playoffs, frankly every team in the league can luck into a spot haha. If we finished anywhere between 3rd and 12th in the east i would not be surprised at all.

With the current roster, I doubt that the team is good enough to host a playoff game. It's probably decent enough to get one of the lower seeds. Any real shot a trophy is via the Open Cup, if we're even admitted this yr, since they've cut the field down significantly. 


RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.

 

RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee

Without seeing Fabio, Edwards, Struber, improved Clark, Harper, I dont know.

 

But... I think we aren't that far from being a real good looking team with the depth you need to even get a supporters shield - 1-2 attacking improvements (1 at DP level) and an additional left back around Pendant's level. Add those and I like the roster a lot, at least on paper. 

 

Add in Camara and Estrela and I feel like the team is also making additions for the future as well. 

 

I don't buy the whole "crappiest roster ever" idea some peeps seem to have.  The roster turnover at a minimum makes me excited for the season to start - even if a shit show, at least will be distracting to figure out why!

Diego Valoyes CA Talleres in the Argie league, lots of potential, Boca Junior and Sao Paolo are interested..

His skill set and pace remind me of
Almiron

Can Thelwell ask Marsch for Karim Adeyemi for at least a season?

Thiago Almada, Agustín Urzi, Marcos Paulo, amazing talents...

Pedro de la Vega, who i have been watching for years and 19 having played since 17 or sixteen the kid is probably the most sure thing to do well in MLS yet has plenty of potential

Add to that Group Diego Valoyes..

If Metro can sign 3 or 4 of those guys i can see them contending for MLS Cup..

Almada got into some sexual assault accusation in Argentina. His stock is probably at its all time low.

Doesn't sound like the "right fit" for Thelwell's "no dickheads" club.

If RBNY were interested in him Im guessing they wouldnt have brought in Diarra on loan.
