MLS is giving each team $800k of TAM each of the next two years so that's good.

Ups our chances of retaining Nemeth and Feilhaber.

Not sure what purpose Olum serves. Unlikely that I'm right, but Okugo could be transitioning to be the every day center back next to Besler since Opara is incapable of staying healthy. In that scenario, Olum would be DM depth to Mustivar (who we actually haven't re-signed yet either...)

Kempin re-signing is huge.

Odds are fairly decent that we'll loan Kempin out, right?

If I'm PV, I make him the starting keeper for SPR all season and recall him when needed. I have heard something about MDS (SPR coach) bringing a fairly young, talented GK with him from Ottawa. Either way, it is absolutely necessary to sign another keeper or two. Busch and Perkins are on the market.

What are the rules with calling up players from the USL? Can you do it at will?

Basically we will do whatever we want with SPR since we own them. LA sends back and forth between them and Los Dos all the time.

MN United stadium is going in in Saint Paul, will be ready for 2018 season.

Wtf! We get knocked out of UCL and immediately move to MLS?

(sorry, I forgot about this thread and am really far behind.)

That works, I just don't want him sitting on his ass only playing in ccl matches.

Is there a large Mexican contingent in Atlanta? Either way, Fabian is a great player.

I realized what you did after I posted.

Atlanta has a really small percentage of Hispanics for a city that size, only 10 percent. Not sure why that matters though.

Well Mexican DPs outside of Chich aren't really going to draw crowds. But it was just a question. Orlando City goes after Brazilians because there is a large Brazilian contingent there.

Sooooooo I might have been slightly wrong about Jordan Morris, he clearly dominated the NCAA Tournament. We'll see if it translates though, still not sure as I can't see what physically or athletically sets him apart.

I say give him a shot for the Copa America Centenario, not like we're going to win it.

The MLS dumb free agency rules essentially make it where if you're signing one he is likely washed. Where will Mapp play on this team, Naga role?

scottwildcat · « **Reply #8498 on:** December 14, 2015, 12:59:55 PM »

Max of 2 free agents per team
