DEFENSORS DE LA ESTRELLA!!!!! This season we defend the star baby! As of right now we've got an initial squad to send out to defend the title (per SA's roster page and what I can find) Biggest pieces are locked in (FARR/TAINTOR) which is HUGE as the defense was absolutely key in our title win. I'd LOVE if we could just get Parano back ... would love to see LEO come home and play for us now. We need to replace Sam's dynamic effect up top and apparently we need to replace the bull up front too as we've chosen not to renew Santi: https://futbolete.com/ohnacional-co...-jugo-en-la-mls-y-hoy-es-agente-libre/827427/ NICKY had his option declined by FCD and he was fantastic here so I'd not be opposed to him coming back permanently. Obviously JK would be welcomed back as well. Everyone else, for me, is in the "don't dislike them but won't be bothered if they're not back" camp. Running roster count: FARR TAINTOR MALONEY GARCIA GOMEZ MANLEY PC ABU LOERA AZOCAR* BAILONE DILLON ********** - Juan Azocar is a solid pick up. Gives us coverage basically everywhere outside of CB and ST. Proven at this level 100% Initial roster announcement: We’ve got ourselves an eleven 👀 #Defend210 pic.twitter.com/r3B4ZuI0oz— San Antonio FC (@SanAntonioFC) December 9, 2022 Azocar signing: Coming off a 10 goal season, @JuanC_Azocar26 is joining us on loan from @DvoLaGuaira 🙌📰 https://t.co/G2uatvqwQR#Defend210 pic.twitter.com/TDfxc2g7nK— San Antonio FC (@SanAntonioFC) December 22, 2022

Would likely be a solid pick up if it happens. Good MLS experience and is just 26. Seems he would fit what we need as he's more of a LWB than straight LB.
