City got <1,400 min from King Kess last season, how are you thinking about availability here? My gut being that a full season of Mbacke (🤞) is an upgrade on 1,400 min of Kess and 1,600 min of backups

Pretty much has to be today or tomorrow, right? With the list of candidates leaked, Hack moving on, and off season events looming… make a decision already!

They should!

I hope you’re right and Wray has a master plan here, but I doubt he was signed to be immediately moved. That would be an interesting way to treat a player the club seems to value a lot culturally. So I think chances are he’s on the opening day roster. We’ll see.

I don’t think that’s the bar we should set for players at our club 🙂

This! Paying his salary between now and whenever you find a trade partner will probably cost the club more than the trade/sale generates in revenue

But you’re going to pay the salary for that roster spot regardless. the idea that we need to resign him because we paid him last year is the definition of Sunk Cost Fallacy. And I doubt we need to generate revenue from player sales to pay the wage bill, particularly at the back end of the roster.

This doesn’t make any sense - it didn’t cost us anything to acquire Yaro and there is opportunity cost in a league with finite roster spots. Letting him go and signing a better free agent would cost CITY the exact same amount in terms of signing fees and be a better use of the roster spot.

Sad and bad
