Is our pool Brek Shea, Edgar Castillo, Greg Garza and Tim Ream?

I ask this because I freaked the frick out reading something today where it said Johnny Bornstein is having a renaissance season at Queretaro and could warrant a call-up.

There's got to be some hope out there.


ETA: This is assuming Fab will strictly be in the midfield moving forward.

I think Ream should def be a consistent call up

Left back has been a black hole since Beasley got old. And he was converted to the position because we had no one else way back then either.

It was a black hole before that, too.

Tim Ream is more of a centerback than leftback. He's a leftback in the same way Cameron is a rightback.

IMO:
Villafana>Garza>Shea>Castillo>Ream

I would add Lichaj but Jurgen has had years to call the dude up and doesn't seem keen for whatever reason (oh, because he's an idiot).

Agreed and that's where he's mostly played at fulham. But since he's come back into the fold with the USMNT, we've used him at LB and I think in terms of CB's in the pool, his only shot at an international career is on the left, because we are actually getting pretty stacked at CB.

He's having a solid season in the Norwegian first division.

Form has got to count for something. That said, I would rather move on unless we absolutely need him. But I think JK would sooner move Nagbe to LB than call up one of Bob's faves.

I would only put him behind Brooks at L CB. If Brooks goes down I would pick between Ream and Besler.

I don't watch much MLS - is Robbie Rogers still playing LB for the Galaxy?

Garza will probably be the go to guy once he gets healthy. Would love to say we had a young guy coming through the ranks, but I can't think of one.

I do think it's amazing how quickly our CB situation went from shite to pretty good.

Not legit... Everyone knows the attacking in the final third is shite there.

Some frick has to prove himself with the big boys to warrant a call up.

Rogers has been moved to RB for the Galaxy due to the signing of Ashley Cole.

Fabian Johnson is my LB. We don't have nearly as good an option as him and we have depth in other positions.

He's our best RB, LB, LM & RM, but he is just way too good on the ball to not have in the midfield.
