imo, both Jensen and Pendant do not inspire confidence. 

Struber allegedly runs a 4-4-2 diamond and a 3-5-2 of some sort. 

Yearwood is the only DP they're planning on keeping, so they have some $$$ and a few openings. 

We're down to 4 CBs. And really, I only trust Long. 

I used to think Tarek could be a starter, but there's been one too many errors. Plus, he recently got an extension, so that means he's here but for more money now. 

Tarek starts in a 3man backline if Long's away for USMNT duty. 

Did Perrinelle ever see red?

You'd have to ask Fishkin. 

So we have Long Parker Reyes Tarek and Nealis. Looks like we'll be seeing 3-5-2 or whatever a lot more. Having 5 CBs is good. Remember in '15, we had Perrinelle Miazga Zubar and Ouimette. Jean-Baptiste was the fifth CB. Both Ouimette and AJB were meh. 

If it's a 4man backline:

Pendant (I guess) - Parker - Long - Duncan

with Reyes Tarek and Nealis as back ups

_____

3CB:

Parker - Long - Reyes

with Tarek and Nealis as back ups. 

So, having 5 CBs, won't be as stressful if there are Nat'l team callups, loss of form, USOC, and injuries. 

So he's not going to RBS. Cool. Wonder if we keep Kaku. 

  :pint:cheers. Wish him good luck with TFC. On the other hand hope his new team doesn't deny us the chance for Open cup win & or MLS cup  win in '21.

TFC won't play us in USOC, so there's that. 

I remember Rojas when JCO slided him in centrally when he was with us. 

At the USMNT training camp:

"Kyle! It's been a long time!"

"Yeah, Chris it has! Hey, can I talk to you about something?"
 

"Is it about you still earning less than $100k with RBNY and that I should come back and take an entry-level salary instead of sticking it out in Europe? Cuz I've reached out to Kemar Lawrence...and ummm...he gave his 2 cents about it."

"Oh...ummm...never mind, Chris. Ummm...Go USA, right?!?!"

Of course.

Seems like it's best for all parties to move on, but huzzah for the glacial pace. Typical. 

I know that the eMLS guys are for a specific audience, but I'm in the same boat, it's not my thing either. 

LOL

and I was looking fwd to the usual clowns saying that despite him not scoring a lot he does all the other little things well...like Claudio Reyna.

He can be RBNY Team Chaplain. 

He silenced an entire nation with that goal at Daegu Stadium...

..for about 45 seconds.
