2018 Fire Roster Speculation

He may be terrible or he may be OK, but Nelson is the root of this current evil.

 

Agreed 100%

I've given up on rationalizing the deals we make.

 

I loved watching him when he was with RSL the first time around. Not sure why we're picking him up at this point, but maybe so we can have full 11 v 11 practices.

 

Exactly. He's not Arshakyan, he's not bad; but this deal makes absolutely no sense.

 

If the Fire were known for their " forward thinking" it would be pretty obvious. Going into the offseason with two quality and proven MLS CFs already on roster would be an elementary move.

 

He IS terrible, but Nelson is the root of this current evil.

 

Maybe if Pauno played Bastian in his natural position we wouldn't have problems scoring.

So is this going to be Niko's replacement for next year after we sell/trade/transfer/waive Niko?

 

Perhaps Wanchope was unavailable?

 

Playoffs here we come.

 

Yes
and
Yes

 

This team is hilarious.

 

It's is if they don't care. I wonder where they get that from?

 

even a broken clock is right twice a day though. these guys seem to be actively ripping the hands off.

 

Wow, the Fire have both Gordon AND Movsisyan?

How many more 30+ band aids will they bring in?

 

As many as it takes until the Wooden Spoon has been secured.

Oh, wait, that does not seem right.

 

Bringing in another MLS castoff? Sounds right.

Hey nimrod, try going through this list when you “scout” players again as dollar menu hauptman won’t pay a transfer fee.

Oh, that’s right. You’re not here to rebuild the team in three years or whatever other lie you’re telling us at the moment; you’re here to turn us into Chivas USA part 2.

 

Which he has achieved spectacularly!
(and that is NOT a compliment)

 

It’s more colostomy bag than Band-Aid.

 

With a leak.

 

I just want to mention, Yura's only on contract until the end of this season.
He's not even a band-aid, he's embalming fluid for this season.

 

He is "two aspirins, because you might be dead in the October."

 

He's a so cal guy, so he may be willing to play for alot less with theSantDiego fire next year .

Ju$t sayin'

 

Did we sign Eric Gehrig?

Maybe he is the CB to finally allow Basti to play where he should.
