but not the best name drafted, which goes to: Joshua Jackson-Ketchup, son of Bobby and Jamilex Ketchup
Odd that this dropped to the 2nd page and I had to go dig it up. Anywho...possibly relevant? (Probably not relevant) https://the18.com/en/soccer-enterta...QoBHHmOhOONdJS920UvPgKEVePfGTifC8W8HtPMbfxCX4
The only reason I’d take Diego Costa is because there’s probably a greater risk of Covid here. Yes, that’s mean.
Diego Costa is a thug, but if he joined the Fire much like Bob Probert and Denis Rodman he'd be OUR thug.
Man, I hope he is fastest guy out there. Imagine if he is slow and lagging behind. He would have to...
There is a roster, with about 30 players on it. There have been new acquisitions. They have been discussed in this thread. Chinonso Offer Jhon Espinosa Stanislav Ivanov are the three new players on the roster. Considered yourself underwhelmed!
You got me. I blindfolded myself and just randomly hit keys on the keyboard. Since I am an "okay" typist (my posts on BigSoccer notwithstanding), I still almost formed actual words.
The first ever professional Hmong soccer player is getting a look intriguing camp after impressing at Madison last year. Forward's coach is also in camp looking for pieces to bring back to Madison.
I saw Stanislav Ivanov play at Levski in 2019. I think he could be a steal of an acquisition, but I’m no scout. I might just have red/white colored len’s on. (Or navy, yellow and red?)
We have a large Hmong population here in and around Wausau, Wi. Not surprised Forward Madison would take a look at Hmong players. Oh, I hope to catch a couple of Madison games, if it is safe.
It is pretty sad and telling that there have been no posts in this thread for over a month. The team we have is the team we will have. That is pretty scary. Maybe a couple of summer signings??? All of kids from last year really need to step up. No Ivanov until Summer. I really hope Kappelhoff is healthy and effective. If so, the Fire had better play him. We will need his steady not-spectacular presence, especially with the error-prone Calvo. Frankowski needs to step up. He is fast and has shown flashes of being really good, but very inconsistent. We have Beric, but no other scoring threat. Not sure who will get him the ball. We need a Katai -like player (without the laziness...and the incredibly racist spouse, of course). Gaitan would be good for this team. We have questions up front, questions in midfield, questions on defense and questions in goal. Other than that, I don't know what to say about this team.
Wicky said in a press conference last week or the week before that they do not plan on making any signings unless something really big comes up. Maybe the injury crisis is big enough, maybe not. But I don't think we'll get any more signings until at least the summer window. And even then, there's just nothing going on right now in terms of transfer rumors.
For a team with no cap space the roster is extremely underwhelming. Can't have guys making Sekulic, Kronholm, and Kappelhof money sitting on the bench, while also have underperformers in Aliseda, Gimenez, and Frankowski.
I think it's a pretty solid roster on paper. This is one of the first years that we haven't had major turnover. We have plenty of guys that have underperformed, maybe this year we get some guys breaking out.
That’s what we need, some players to step up. If they don’t we’re below average. If they do, we could be fun to watch.
