Goff is saying that Cowlumbus are dangling Gaven. Who'd be for a Magee for Gaven trade straight up? Would we need to throw in anything else to even it out talent- or money-wise?
NO. Gaven had his chance, he didn't get bigger during the off-season and he falls over faster than Pescadito Ruiz. 'Nuff said.
magee makes around 55K and Gaven around 180K so we'd have to add a lot money wise and probably talent wise. Plus we have Richards and Schoop for the RW and a nice collection of forwards now...
Exactly. This kid hits the ground as soon as he is touched. And no way the Crew would make such a deal.
This trade makes zero sense. First off, the money is way out of whack. NYRB has to be bumping damn close to the cap as it is, can they really afford to add the difference between the two salaries? Second, where does Gaven play for NY? Ahead of Schopp and Richards on the right? Doubtful. Ahead of Claudio, Dema and Stammler in the middle? No. Ahead of Van den Berg on the left? No. Ahead of Angel, Altidore and Mathis up top? No. Why add an expensive player you don't need. Makes no sense. The only position where I see RB adding a player with a six-figure salary is at center back, and that's not even a sure thing.
Gaven better take a pay cut then he's overpaid atm he needs to be brought back to his old days and worked to get into that form.
Hell no... we are looking for a defense with experience, a Center Defense a la Carlos Alberto, the position and only one that Gaven play is RW and we have Richards and Schopp boths much better than Gaven...
