Crandall reported it, out of Herenveen contract, wouldn't be able to come directly to Fire because we got a transfer fee for him.

If Yallop doesn't get a DP attacking midfielder (or Mila type of player), I think Pappa plays on the left side with Duka in the middle or Duka plays on the left side with Pappa in the middle.

Pappa was making 140,000 before he left. How much would we be able to sign him for? If we could get him close to that figure, I'd says we should try to get him.

I'd love to see him come back. Hopefully, adds another scoring threat and takes a little pressure off Magee/Anangono

Option #1:

-------Magee---------------Anangono-------

------------------DP???------------------------

--Duka-------------------------------Nyarko--

----------------Larentowicz-------------------

--Segares---Soumare---Berry---Anibaba--

------------------Johnson---------------------

Option #2:


-------Magee---------------Anangono-------

----------------Duka/Pappa-------------------

--Duka/Pappa----------------------Nyarko--

----------------Larentowicz-------------------

--Segares---Soumare---Berry---Anibaba--

------------------Johnson---------------------

Somehow I think at best we will have option #2, the only reason I don't think Dollar Menu is never going to get that big name DP. All the said it would be an improvement from last year. I just hope they also look to improve LB, RB, CB or a forward positions. Coming off the bench Rolfe, Alex and Quincy as offensive subs.

Wasn't the reasoning Yallop gave behind the Paladini trade making more room for Alex to get playing time?

Sure, but if we sign a DP attacking midfielder I'm sure that he would start ahead of Alex as would Pappa/Duka. I don't think we are going to get either of them, so it will be Alex as our starter.

So....is there a good chance we get him?

No idea :shrug:, not sure who has been linked to him yet. Crandall (Fire beat) was first I saw report it fwiw.
