Oscar Rojas

I am just looking at all posible scenarios. I don’t have the answer for.
I know a lot of people want him out. But if he is wearing the shirt I will cheer and support him to do good for the team.
At the end we want the team to do good whoever is wearing the shirt.

I am not saying that. I am not saying he should be a starter. But I think there is a reason he made to the MLS and millions of others including myself didn’t.

He is not by any means the worst professional player I have seen in my life.

What salary? The one from here to January? Because December he is still under contract. They don’t stop paying them in October just because they are not playing. So January when transfer window open can be moved. He is in the MLS for a reason. He can be placed.

That all could still happen. They can still trade him. Or loan him. Doesn’t he will for sure will be a 2026 city player. But he also could be.

You don’t pay players salary? That’s cost you have invested in the player. You would want something back. Signing fees are not the only things you pay for a player.

I agree with you here. I still have not known like I said before a team that would ask for a player g+ and such.
I know about the stats collected by the vest trackers.

Ok. They don’t look at that. I am literally telling you what an MLS team would ask in recruiting players.
They do not ask for g+, passing percentage and such.

What you mean? I am confused now?

Yes. They don’t ask for G+. They ask for top speed. They ask for endurance. They ask for miles run and distance covered.

Well when promoting players I have never heard a team asking what is his G+ number. I have heard the question do you have a full game footage? That I have heard.
But ok. You stick to your stats.

I am not a Fan of Yaro. I don’t have any kind of affiliation with him.
As I said the stats you say they are imparcial don’t give you the full picture of the plays. You have no idea what happens prior the goal itself.

Again I know people loves stats. I am just not a stat guy. I respect your view. I don’t thing it was the case you saying.
I know like I said. He is not our top CB but he is much more than other say.

Like I just said this is not baseball.
Stats don’t tell you how they plays are build. How things happen. They tell you just the end result and who were involved.
With stats your are not able to watch a game.

Sorry I will disagree and it’s fine. I don’t look only at the stats to tell me which player is good or bad.
Soccer is not baseball.
Too many variables in the games that affect those numbers that so many love.
5-10 years ago all those stats and numbers were not key to tell what players were good

Is not off the hook. Is understanding that mistakes from others make certain players pay the price.
Did you ever heard GK is the most unfair position in soccer? Because if you make a mistake what happens ? Is a goal. What’s the second ? CB.

This is why is a team sport is it?
You can’t just blame the closest player get the blame. But that’s what the stats do.
Do you want Klauss to score 20 goals per season but you give him all bad passes and services?
You want Bürki to be 2023 Bürki but leave him alone more than ever?

And I am not saying what if. I told you literally two plays that let to goals that were not Yaro’s fault but all blame him and stats take him down because he was the player that tried to fix the error of other.

Yes. And that’s why my view stands on not judging him they way many do.
And I can be wrong… sure.
Last season was awful because we didn’t perform well as a team not because yaro was “awful” as you said.
Yaro had good performances and bad performances as all players.

Matt idk if you have an idea of how many players get resigned to trade or loan. Specially in an environment like the MLS. You have to make money out of your players. Main and secondary. If not you will be only spending and letting players go for free after your spending money on them.

Ok. So is not telling you if a teammate made a horrible mistake and left you 1-1 vs the best forward of the league? Or left you out of position when the team was going out on transition ?!
Again I am not saying he is the best. But I know people are not fair if they only focused on their stats.

I just think people judge with different bars players. You telling me that other CBs did not had any errors that lead to goals?
And even Bürki mentioned something about availability to be important for next year.

Yaro has made mistakes as others have but as a team left him in bad positions too.

Ok. Does g+ stats tell you what happened in the build up of the plays?
Or just the end result of a play where the player was involved?

And specifically for Yaro. He is a player that is always available. Not injuries. He is not the best out there but he definitely not the worst as other picture him.
He has made mistakes like any other CB in City.
All out CB have a qualification average between 6.3 and 6.8.
So why judge only one?

Re-signing doesn’t mean they will be back next year to play for sure.
Some of this players will be trade, loaned and such. You can’t expect to just let all players go for free when you have spend money on them or you need money to get other players.

Reid if he comes back can be good but he needs to get back to his level of 2024.

Why again the problem with the left back depth lol. Three years and still don’t have that fixed. Orozco is good there but not his main position I think. And need definitely someone else too.
CM and goal scorer is a must too.

Would prefer trying to get Chicho Arango.

✌🏻

Fair enough. I like the moves they made. Except one that would have flip player for player but still need to see the big plan they have and hope is for the good of the team.
