Transfer window also closes at 1:00 tonight.

Yeah all this does is provide roster relief so I’m assuming it’s coming

I wonder if there’s a backup keeper incoming - with Blake hurt and Semmle gone, there doesn’t seem to be an obvious backup right now.

Rick? You mean another backup?

u/Educational_Rope1211 7d ago

Seems like Blake may be out for at least a few weeks, so we may need a backup for Rick.

I think most of us saw this coming from a mile away. Just hope the kid doesn’t have any lingering effects from the injury.

So there’s a 20 year old Venezuelan CB on the Union 2 who’s already played first division down in Colombia.. any reason why he shouldn’t be moved up? Or is Harriet going to keep being the backup CB?

We don’t buy glavinovich at that price tag especially since we really haven’t seen him. Too much risk for this management team.

What I want to know is, with this and the Aronson possible $ incoming. Do we add someone today?

Does anyone have a sell-on figure from the Paxten deal? I’ve only read rumblings.

u/ThematicOne 7d ago

From what I read we get 20% of any sells.

3

u/push138292 7d ago

I’ve read 25% for the most part.

You know, I forgot he was on a one year loan. Do you think we'll use the option to buy? Kind of hard to tell if it's worth it or not.

It was a pretty large price tag to buy him, and considering we just signed Glenses again. I feel like its pretty unlikely unless we get a big discount.

Iirc the price of the buy option was something crazy like $2.5M. If they negotiated it to like $500k maybe that would be reasonable? He can play.

Glesnes will start for a couple more years. Harriel could be in the mix at CB for a couple more years, and Neil Pierre is likely to be a more serious option. Makhanya is sort of a question mark because I could see him being sold. I don't really think there's room for Glavinovich unless Makhanya moves and one of the other CBs leaves or goes down.

I feel for him. Such a slow-and-steady recovery required for his injury. Hopefully he keeps his head up.

dang was really hoping to see him play again, especially for the playoffs.

That’s a shame
