JK had 6 Forwards on his 2014 30 man provisional roster. These polls will be open for one week. Pick the 6 Fs you think JK will include in 2018. If you chose other post your other option in the thread.
yeah I counted Manneh as a midfielder, see this is where it gets tricky, but yeah, Manneh and Dwyer belong with green card trajectories theyre on.

My votes here, pending injury, of course... Bobby Wood: Seems like the current heir apparent to Dempsey. Nifty, makes tidy runs, can have a mediocre game but slap a goal in out of nowhere and suddenly everyone's saying MOTM. Jozy Altidore: The closest thing we have to a hold-up, target man. Not sure he really excels at either, but he's the biggest and strongest we have, and at 28 will be in his prime. Christian Pulisic: His star is rising and especially if JK is still around (seems questionable) he loves having the starlet along. Jordan Morris: We need the speed to get behind defenses and he's really developing nicely. This would be my cutoff line for which of the six make the final roster. Aron Johannsson: Basically the next best option behind Wood and Altidore, he's somewhat proven and has played in Europe. Not fancy, but we don't have many proven options. Rubio Rubin: If we need pace, he fits the bill. Starting to make his mark at Utrecht. This is the most questionable position, but I think Dempsey's time will have passed (35 is old for a striker) and none of the others are really all that inspiring.
I didn't get to vote so I'm going to go through and respond to these with my answers (not like anyone cares, I'd just like to look back at these in a few years and laugh at myself) Dempsey Wood Altidore Morris Pulisic Johannsson
