So Charlotte made a good amount of moves today in hopes that it gets them over the hump and into the playoffs.

A quick rundown of all the movement beginning all the way back with Franco’s transfer:

In - Nathan Byrne (Derby County), Adilson Malanda (Rodez AF), Brian Romero (Charlotte FC Academy), Nuno Santos (Benfica), $400K General Allocation Money (New England)

Out - Christian Makoun (New England), Alan Franco (Talleres), Christian Ortiz (Released - Tijuana), Sergio Ruiz (Granada???)

Current Roster

GK - Kahlina, Marks, Sisniega, Zendejas (Charlotte Independence)

RB - Byrne, Afful, Lindsey

RCB - Corujo, Malanda

LCB - Walkes, Sobocinski

LB - Fuchs, Mora, Armour (Injured), Santos (Charlotte Independence)

CDM - Bronico

CM - McNeill, Jones, Romero

ACM - Santos, Bender, Alcivar, Hegardt (Charlotte Independence),

RW - Jozwiak, Gaines

ST - Swiderski, Rios, Mello (Injured)

LW - Reyna, Shinyashiki, Vargas

Hopefully this group gets us to the playoffs.

I guess Alcivar is a CAM but I never see it when he plays lol. Idk if we’ve had a true CAM yet and hopefully Santos fills that hole

itll be interesting to see how next year shakes out at LB with Armour healthy. I could see Fuchs retiring.

Maybe Byrne and Santos can help push us this season but I think these moves were done more for next season in mind. Really would like for us to see Mello this season but doubt it happens

He’s really not and I wish they would stop playing him there lol. He came on for Bender at the position against D.C. United.

I think right now he’s more of a holding midfielder but he’s still young so I’m hoping they really work on developing his defensive technique and give him a shot at CDM which is where he played at Quito.

Bronico has been rock solid as our CDM but Alcivar has the talent to be a great CDM if he puts it all together. He’s one of our better passers and leads the team in key passes if I’m not mistaken. Having that technique at the CDM position would be very beneficial to controlling the midfield.

Also, one note on Byrne, Derby fans seemed pissed that he was leaving so I take it that he’s a pretty solid addition.

Apparently he was a fan favorite but he exercised an option in his contract to leave because they got relegated so they hate him now lol. His agent just did good work imo

      I know that. I'm not predicting it. Just putting the information out there so I will have receipts for later on when this dude turns into a stud at this level too.  It's kinda bittersweet, he'd help our offense out a great deal, but I'm wanting a QB next draft, so adding another weapon for Bryce is counterproductive in that regard.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I'm not sure if NO will be as QB aggressive as some assume.  They may focus on landing a top line prospect and slow rolling the rebuild for next year.  Could see them roll the dice in R3-4 to compete with Rattler, maybe a Howard fit.     I think the QB starved team's just take the gamble the Saints don't want Sanders, and target a mid to late 1st pick for a trade up to land him.  Still don't think Milroe or Shough are going R1.   But I think what may get lost in the trade up talk is about it being QB specific. A top team trying to get over the top could be the juicy trade (or two) that happens in round 1. Something I've flirted with is how aggressive Buffalo could be.  They have the ammunition for a big trade up, and I think Golden would pair super well with Coleman.  They need to cut to the chase and get playmakers there for Allen.  So yeah, love the idea of a BUF/ATL trade where they move up for him.  I'm even thinking about LAR getting aggressive for Warren or Loveland.  Imagine McVay rolling into 2026 with that added piece for a future QB...

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Unfortunately, Ice, there are some blueprints of hybrid LB/edge players who were busts too--Everette Brown is one, but he was forced into a 4-3 DE role here.  I would say that the 3-4 defense has a lot of wiggle room for hybrids at the OLB/Edge position--I am just not seeing Walker as an elite player at any one role.  Coverage?  Rushing the passer from the 9?  And at his size... If we take him, I hope that I am wrong because there are some personalities I really would love to be on this roster.  Jihaad Campell is one.  Bech is another.
