Looks like the Colombian connection continues. Glad to have some more depth at fullback.

One spot left.

Though one could clear up by the end of the day…

2 actually

We have 28 guys on the roster, counting Duque.

Not sure where this leaves us for international spots though.

Completely Out

We had 2 spots left and we signed Boyd and Duque.

You're right

and I was thinking of international spots.
Damn, sounds like we really need one for Songo’o.
Trade?

Its actually possible

Not probable, but possible, that we have more than MP tweeted. If Perlaza and Chara (Chara especially) got their GC in less than a year in the states, then frankly EVERY guy on the roster taking an intl spot should have their card. EJ has been here almost 3 years, Marcelin 2, Nagbe apparently got married (or so the rumors go), and Kalif has been here for 2 too. We might strangely be using just 4/9, though I doubt it.

Trading for one shouldn’t be too hard though. LAG is going to have some extras again (lost quite a few internationals)

Um.....

You sure on your math there?

Alexander, Alhassan, Boyd, Braun, Brunner, Chabala, Chara, Danso, Dike, Gleeson, Horst, Baptiste, Jewsbury, Johnson, Marcelin, Mosquera, Nagbe, Palmer, Perkins, Perlaza, Purdy, Richards, Taylor, Valencia, Wallace, Zizzo.

Thats 26. Add Renken and Duque, thats 28. 30 roster spots. 2 more spots remaining.

I believe they're talking about international spots
