    The club has targeted two other attacking players to play alongside Reynoso and now Abila, maybe even in time for the season opener depending on negotiations, COVID-19 quarantines and work visas. One of those two likely will get a "designated player" tag and salary for a Loons team that came within a minute of reaching the MLS Cup championship game last season.

    -------

    Fragapane is a TAM player. Would Hunou be a DP?

    So...going back to Green Cards...

    Subtracting Chacon and adding Abila, looks like we have eight internationals on the roster:

    Abila
    Billingsley
    Dibassy
    Gregus
    Lod
    Metanire
    Raitala
    Reynoso

    Is eight the limit still?

    If we're going to sign both Frangapane and Hunou, it means two more international slots.

    Likely Green Card candidates from that list? Billingsley? Gregus?

    MLS is a little behind on roster updates, apparently.

    He probably should be - don't know to who, but DSC is the first choice unless he's called up for qualifiers. Tyler sits.

    Listened to that yesterday. I think we are.

    If we do in fact get Hunou and Frangapane, I don't see why we shouldn't be competing for the Western Championship again. We have kept adding to our depth, especially in the attack this off season, which is a big plus in my book. This should help us in the summer when Gregus, Lod and Raitalla are gone. If Reynoso does go down (knock on wood), we will be more predictable, but should still be scoring goals......right? :oops:

    I guess the thing we just don't know, is hoe the injury situation will be in say, October.

    This core has been together a bit and there is no reason why they can't match up really well against the LAFC's and Portland's of the conference.











    Dangit, I don't like it when I am optimistic.

    Being optimistic seems so...un-Minnesotan.

    BTW: the Mark Watson burner account on reddit said "News to me."

    So, I think this is still on.
