So we're gonna field an all MF squad then?

Well, we did need another center mid. Especially with this likely being Jeff's last season.

Gives us more freedom to move players around. Gives you some trade bait with Mo Adams.

Also reports that we're getting Fernando Meza. 29 y/o CB from Necaxa.

We extended Gallagher's loan to Aberdeen and terminated Pereira's contract.

We've brought back Anton Walkes.

Permanent deal this time.

Do you think he'll play alongside Robinson in the center of the field? Or will they move Escobar inside?

I think he will likely be a utility depth piece that will primarily play CB but can play RB or DM if needed.

I think we'll bring in a new starting CB within the next week (Meza).

Club just announced LGP is gone.

And we may have just convinced Tijuana to buy us Meza.

And there it is. We've signed Fernando Meza. We may have had Tijuana buy Meza and essentially traded him (and maybe a little cash?) for LGP so that Meza's transfer fee wouldn't count against the cap.

We're working out a loan deal for Carleton.

Unknown at this point, but would probably be a good idea.

I guess the question is, Aberdeen being a top SPL club, does Carleton have the quality to play at that level?

I would consider the top Scottish Premiership clubs (Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen) to be equivalent to somewhere in the mid-to-upper level of the English Championship. Would you place them at that level? Or higher/lower?

I think Carleton is probably better than Gallagher, who is on loan at Aberdeen and plays quite a bit.

Sounds like we're sending him to Indianapolis.

Edgar Castillo was in some pictures that some players posted. Possible new LB signing.

Both Castillo and Adam Jahn are training with our 1st team. We're trying to finalize a deal with both.
