If you guys get Finlay, turn him into a FB or wingback. Like LA did with Robbie Rogers. Has good size & excellent work rate. Puts himself in good positions. Just doesn't quite have the nous/IQ/decision making to pay off those opportunities often enough. Still, a very productive player over the 3 years prior to this one.
I actually wouldn't mind Finlay. He has had a terrible season, but at least he has proven himself at this level. He would be an upgrade over what we have.

At #MNUFC training today, Ethan Finlay participating. Jose Leiton not here to deal with visa issues. It's looking like available next week.— Andy Greder (@andygreder) August 14, 2017 Also at #MNUFC training today, Marc Burch (sports hernia) participating more, while Christian Ramirez (hamstring) rehabbing on side.— Andy Greder (@andygreder) August 14, 2017
I'm hearing multiple Liga MX sides made transfer offers for C. Ramirez last month. #MNUFC turned down all bids, which were worth ~ $1.5M.— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) August 18, 2017 I've also learned that #RBNY, #RCTID, & #SoundersFC made trade offers for M. Ibarra this summer. #MNUFC rejected all advances.— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) August 18, 2017

#MNUFC sporting director Manny Lagos is scouting in South America, with director of player personnel Amos Magee doing same thing in Europe.— Andy Greder (@andygreder) September 18, 2017
WHERE in Europe? (For that matter, where in South America? From a pure geographic standpoint, Guyana is in South America. Just sayin'.)
Manny is/was in Uruguay. Amos is/was in Belgium. Not sure if any other places were on their itinerary...though I would imagine some were.
So, question for everyone. And one I have yet to reflect on myself, but with the off season coming up, who do we keep, loan, and let go? Who yields us some money (or Garber bucks)? Also, I think the team has said that they will try to get at least two DP signings. What positions could use a significant upgrade?
I'm hearing that #LAGalaxy have already contacted #MNUFC this week to check on Miguel Ibarra's availability.— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) October 24, 2017
Minnesota United coach Adrian Heath expects MLS team to make five to seven roster changes Most of United's new players likely will come from outside the MLS. http://www.startribune.com/minnesot...seven-rosters-changes-in-offseason/453190303/
I'm hearing #MNUFC is in talks to sign Ghanaian mid Thomas Abbey. Loons hold his #MLS discovery rights. Abbey led Hearts with 14 G in 16/17. pic.twitter.com/AtP7t9IHub— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) November 1, 2017 Abbey (24) can also play as an 8, but profiles best as a 10. #MNUFC had scouts in Ghana twice this season.— Jeff Rueter (@jeffrueter) November 1, 2017
@jeffrueter you gonna spill the beans on the 4 cut players you mentioned in the Q & A or wait till team releases a statement first? #MNUFC— Goldy (@mgoldknopf) November 2, 2017
