I hope he makes a few trades, or has something in mind. Right now it looks like a 1-9-0 would be a good formation based on who we have.

NUTTER64 – dude. In this conversation #10 refers to the position, not the actual number the guy will wear.

ultimately, it’s about team chemistry. if you have guys that know how to play w/ ea other, the team will be solid. we have enough talent that we can win if we play hard and SMART.

The number 10 is just that….it’s a number. The Americans are so enthralled witha number 10. Where are the past 10’s and what was their contribution. Vaca, Davis, Nunez, Denilson, recently and what did they do…………….squat!!! It is overrated and just needs to be dealt with in a different way. Give it to someone that just tears the ass out of a defense and stop putting it as the Holy Grail of numbers!!

Richetti is probably gone. Serioux is just too valuable, and Saragosa will either stay or be trade bait.

I’ve seen Jeffries with this kind of multi-diverse approach out of sync with the current norm. It would work with a more developed reserve squad for every team, and that takes time. Key veterans in goal, defense, midfield, and forward, are necessary to compete on par.

If (when) Saragosa get’s his green card, that will clear up an International spot. I would think this would make it less likely that he would be moved. It could come down to Richetti and Serioux as an another INT spot might need to be opened.

I think this system will work very well for us. I have faith in Yi after how well he played in Houstank. The midfield will be the strongest in MLS and midfield is where matches are won. I think Dom should get one more chance this year and if he hasn’t learned to finish by then I think they should trade him. Saragosa is the odd man out between the three IMO.

There’s still no answer to where an aerial game is gonna come from up top.

The biggest threat on set pieces (Goodson) is gone, as well.

There’s no pure speed on the flanks, either, just hard workers and hustlers.

So what’s left is a finesse passing game–which squad rotation will hurt–and a bunch of midfielders responsible for the attack.

Buzz, would they have to open an international spot before they sign someone else, or before that person completes their visas and joins the active roster?
