I want to get a feel of this board in what spots do they think are up for grabs.

If you had to pick the May camp roster, what would it look like and what do you think would be the fiercest battles?

Here's mine:

GK(3): Howard, Guzan, Rimando

– No point in bringing in anybody else, those will be the three in Brazil.

D (9): Cameron, Gonzales, Besler, Beasley, Goodson, Evans, Yedlin, Parkhurst, Brooks

– I really think Yedlin is going to push Evans hard for that second RB spot. Also, you have to bring in Parkhurst just to see if he can get a spot since he has experience at every backline position. Also, give Brooks one last shot to push for a CB spot. I don't think he is ready yet, but we really need somebody to compete and push Gonzales, Goodson and Besler.

M (11): Donovan, Zusi, Bradley, Jones, Beckerman, Fab Johnson, Bedoya, Mix, Kljestan, Davis, Edu

– The battles here are interesting because, for the most part, our starting midfield is set and even the backups are pretty entrenched here. The question is if a guy like Kljestan can come in and beat out Mix, can Edu beat out Beckerman and can Davis beat out either Zusi or Bedoya.

F (7): Altidore, Dempsey, Johannson, Green, GAM, Boyd, Wondo

– Safe to say that Altidore, Dempsey and Bacon are going, barring injury. After that it gets real interesting because those last four listed will be battling for 1 or 2 spots.

I would add Feilhaber to the midfield in place of Edu, Davis, GAM, Wondo, or Boyd.

There will be a 4th I would guess in case there is an injury to one of these 3

quote:

D (9): Cameron, Gonzales, Besler, Beasley, Goodson, Evans, Yedlin, Parkhurst, Brooks


Yedlin has upside but to me he REALLY needs to do something big and fast in order to garner serious consideration. His lack of minutes with the first team hurts him big time. And to me, it's still up in the air for Kilinsy between Brooks and Gooch

quote:

M (11): Donovan, Zusi, Bradley, Jones, Beckerman, Fab Johnson, Bedoya, Mix, Kljestan, Davis, Edu


Edu and Danny Williams are interchangeable here and both questionable for consideration. I still think Shea makes the 30 like it or not

quote:

F (7): Altidore, Dempsey, Johannson, Green, GAM, Boyd, Wondo


I really dont see the point of bringing in Boyd at all

I think this is a pretty comprehensive list. I could see one or two surprises being thrown in (not anyone I can think of) just because JK seems to always have a couple of oddballs.

As far as defenders go what's Chandler's status is he still injured? I could definitely see him as someone who could come into camp and challenge for a spot on the backline.

Overall awesome list though

All I know is if Edu makes the roster I may kill myself. To me, he is this cycles Bornstein except he probably will not make the roster and doesn't really play for the team anymore.
