That K wouldn't happen to be Kasper, would it?<br /><br />Kidding! Good spot on the international spots over at the new dcunited.com. Guess that clears up Adams' citizenship. I'm guessing Shipalane must have a green card since they list his nationality as South African.<br /><br />Interesting. Very interesting.<br /><br />Don't know about you, but in FM I'd be doing a little summer-window shopping on foreign shores for a quality central a-mid and a quick forward, push Quaranta back wide where he belongs, and let Khumalo find his level with the USL Div II Pro League.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-54430924311235990942010-03-23T15:21:53.852-04:002010-03-23T15:21:53.852-04:00Thanks for doing another "Reset" to help...Thanks for doing another "Reset" to help us keep track of what's going on. FYI - the DCU website has updated and reformatted the team roster. According to that we have 19 Seniors and 1 Dev (+2 Homegrown) players on the roster. Signing Pena will bring us to 20 Seniors, leaving 3 open Dev slots. Presumably, the Dev slots will be filled by our trialists. If Wicks and Burch go to IR, 2 more Senior slots are in play.<br /><br />Interestingly, it appears we have more room for Internationals than we thought. According to the DCU webiste, we currently have 5 on the roster, 6 with Pena. Adams is listed as USA citizen and Shipalane is not listed an International (green card?). That leaves us with an open International slot.<br /><br />Putting the foregoing information together with the large amount of cap room many believe we have, it appears that DCU has the ability to sign a Senior International for a relatively high salary.

What happened to the CM depth??? <br /><br />Anyway, that would seem to give us 24 healthy players, 2 homegrown players, and 3 injured players, meaning everyone is safe until 6 games intot the season, that all is assuming that Namoff doesn't start the season on the active roster. If he does, I think you'll see Woolard or Rice let go. Adams and Graye would both be slightly cheaper, yet less experienced options compared to Wollard to back up Wallace and Rice may be odd man out because Adams and Graye both do have CB experience from college. Either of them sitting ducks when Burch returns, but I'm sure the roster will have shaken up some by then.... Or they could just leave Quinn off and take everybody else... I think the only reason to take Quinn is if they want to trade or waive Wicks when he is healthy and they are able to do so...<br /><br />Drew Yates has to now be a lock to make the roster as a CAM... who said we had a bad draft this year? We got Perkins in the 1st round, Yates in the 2nd, Wicks in the 3rd, and Graye in the 4th.... not too shabby ;)<br /><br />ThiJoshnoreply@blogger.com
