    More rumors swirling (no confirmations from Rueter yet)

    Benedetti still looking like a possibility and John Lucumí (Colombian defender at Genk). No fricking idea who gets traded (or loan gets cut short) to free up the international spots? :p Owundi? Maximiano? Can't wait until we can fully transfer J. Venegas off the books.

    If this is all true....it says to me, McGuire was pissed (which we know he has been) and told Manny to pull the trigger on some big signings, as this has to be one of the weirdest/worst team builds ever.

    If it was my money, I'd be ticked off too.

    I would like to propose "Defense is Overrated" as our official Forum Tag...

    From Rueter's mailbag on Benedetti.
    https://theathletic.com/429758/2018...icolas-benedetti-rumors-and-reasons-for-hope/

    However, sources have told The Athletic that it’s highly unlikely that he joins Minnesota this summer, though they wouldn’t rule out a winter deal.

    This won’t be a popular opinion with many of you, but Benedetti really isn’t a piece that Minnesota needs anymore. He’s not a pacey player, and is more of a throwback No. 10 who relies more on precision passing and impressive finishing than any form of athleticism.     ​

    This is starting to sound an awful lot like "There will be a MertoStars stadium announcement in the next 60-90 days..."

    I actually understand the Benedetti one. I think Cali kind of blew it with his future sale....at least with us.

    We may fault Manny and his minions for some of the players he's brought in, but there is no denying he's learned the TAM / GAM game extremely well.

    We might be figuring out this whole roster thing just in time for the new season. I feel some hope coming.

    Looks like they made an approach for Dax.

    With the long rain delay for last night's DCU - NYRB match, I got to watch more of the Red Bulls studio show than I wanted...

    Some fellow (not Cangilosi or Messing) insisted several times that Christian Ramirez was about to be moved "within the next 3-4 weeks".

    Shep Messing made it very clear he doesn't like Ramirez very much, btw. "Lazy" was one of the nicer things he said.

    Sounds like Shep. *ugh. That's just lazy journalism. Any self respecting journalist would know that he was injured/playing injured for the first 7-8 games. Two....for all those pre DQ games, he was being double teamed. We had no one to take off the pressure.

    Man, we are lucky with our TV crew.

    Now, CR could be off loaded if Rodriguez turns good, but probably more importantly, it brings us in a #6 or another quality CB.......And as a possibility, the team buying ALSO gives us a international spot.

    Speaking of, we need a international spot open for Rodriguez to play. So, I wouldn't be surprised if one of our Cameroonians, or Gomez is let go soon

    Concerning Benedetti rumors, there is still NO offer by MNUFC this window.

    Which, I am glad by the way. With Darwin, this is not a necessary, let alone offering a DP spot.
