Goalies don't have that much value.

I GOT NUWZ



Roger Martinez leaving Club America, Genoa is on the track, but also a parallel venture between Bologna and the Impact. Genoa also got Destro on loan btw.

Nah he isn't a DP and is overrated. Would be a waste imo but then I forget its Impact. But pass on him, just a hustler who works hard with not much talent

 

[Adam Michaels]

Translating this Tweet, it says that Roger Martinez is leaving Club America. Looks like Genoa in Serie A are interested but there is also a chance he goes througj Bologna to IMFC.

Edit: just saw that @Skip Bayless got it first.

So we're at the same position. What a roster it's...

 

[Emanresu Wen]

All the other teams are moving lol

 

[ArtPeur]

Anything interesting from the presser?

Anything interesting from the presser?

Many things in the works, but a few things held back for various reasons (agents/mls paper work)
Is positive that Orji will be back
Negociating with ZBG and Ballou
Confirms Sagna wont be back

I think that's about it.

[Pompeius Magnus]

So we're going in with the same lineup that missed the playoffs last season, minus a few vets. Got it.

 

[Skip Bayless]

ZBG-Fanni-Camacho-Raitala
Piette-Taider
Orji-Boyanne-Nacho
Urruti

Bench: Lassi, Quioto, AJH, Ballou, Shome, Corrales, Bayiha, Yao​

​

If Nacho finds his usual form, that's a pretty decent lineup. We have a ton of wingers, but Lassi and probably Nacho are leaving this summer. Can't see Urruti upgraded right now, perhaps in the summer, but not getting my hopes up. Maybe get a depth mid and wing back in the next few weeks.

 

[Guilliam]

I didn't listen to the presser but apparently Renard also said they plan to play Bayiha as a RB this year.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Olivier Renard, Marc Bergevin, même combat.

 

[Luigi Habs]

ZBG-Fanni-Camacho-Raitala
Piette-Taider
Orji-Boyanne-Nacho
Urruti

Bench: Lassi, Quioto, AJH, Ballou, Shome, Corrales, Bayiha, Yao​

What’s decent about this lineup? Defense is pretty bad. Midfield is ok. Attack is ruined by Urruti’s presence.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I think Fanni's presence in the back solidifies our entire squad. Boyan and Lassi also came late. If Taider can play more like his first year that would change a lot of things.

But I'd like another CF instead of Urruti, someone more dependable with the ball on his feet.

Quioto nor Ballou penciled in as starters on paper, and that's where they belong.

Not a lot of changes, but there were a lot of additions late last year that are there to start the season + healthy Piatti.

He is old though, and Fanni as well.

 

[Skip Bayless]

The main thing is not having Diallo and Cabrera goofing at the back dragging the entire team with them

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Having an actual striker would make me feel 100% better about that lineup. I can live with pretty much everyone on it except him.

 

[ahmedou]

Meaningless it's, having strikers without service in front of them.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Having an actual striker would make me feel 100% better about that lineup. I can live with pretty much everyone on it except him.

It's my line of thinking as well. They could certainly improve the backline or the midfield, but I can live with it. The big issue is the CF.

 

[Boardish]

Especially with the CL. We have absolutely no depth at CF/ST.

And seriously it can’t be it. No help in the midfield (6/8)? No help on defense (all positions)? That would be a monumental failure.
