Let's try this and see if it helps collect relevant conversations of comparable players in a useful way.

I did. I don’t think it makes a whole lot of sense to keep it open. That would fragment discussion even more. It already has over 3,000 responses.
Looks like Tyler is going to RB Leipzig: Sources tell me that Tyler Adams will join Jesse Marsch in moving from the New York Red Bulls to RB Leipzig. The USMNT midfielder/defender will likely stay in New York for the remainder of the MLS season before going to Germany. Full story: https://t.co/XDBCwknAqE— Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) July 11, 2018
Well looks like I'm going to be watching a lot of Bundesliga this year. Pulisic at Dortmund McKennie at Schalke Sargent at Werder Adam at Leipzig Fingers crossed the last two will get regular playing time.
Hey @Real Corona can you change the thread titles for this and the other YYA thread to say 2018/19 stedda 2017/18? My bad.
@CreightonMCFCjoey also hinted that a US prospect will be joining the club soon. CONFIRMED: Sebastian Soto was on trial with Borussia Monchengladbach last month, scored a goal in a U19 friendly. https://t.co/mOJq9IYY5r— scuffed (@scuffedpod) July 11, 2018
Tillman is on loan at Nurnberg too, right? I'm not getting too invested him yet, since he's not committed to the US, but it will be moderately interesting to see if he gets minutes/performs well.
I just listed the youth guys but frankly I think all but Bobby is done with the senior team so personally I’m not invested.
Someone help me out here... Richie Ledezma is on trial at PSV. He is born September 6, 2000, which means he turns 18 this year, 6 days after the Eredivisie transfer window ends. However, he is not under contract so would be a free transfer. Can he sign with PSV on 9/6/18 and play before the winter window. Can he play with the u19 team?
Sargent signed his contract on his birthday in Feb but couldn't officially register and participate in competitions (U-19 and first team both) until now, I assume Ledezma would have to wait till winter
Agree with this. I don't have any inside information on the Eredivisie's registration rules, but this was what I was thinking as well.
I believe Ledezma would have to wait until the winter to be eligible to play officially. IIRC, same thing happened with Rubin when he signed with Utrecht. Who signed in March and couldn’t play until the summer.
Yeah, that would make sense. But I wonder if there is a difference between Fall and Spring. If not, that is a tough break as he misses by days. The weird thing is that free transfers can be signed after the window closes and registered. So, here is hoping Rubin and Sargent ran afoul of something that wouldn't apply to Ledezma.
Their keeper depth looks incredibly weak. Just one guy with any professional experience, a journeyman whose career is not impressive. Silva will probably begin the season as the backup, but it's not out of the question he can start for them.
