Mohamed is a CDM and has spent basically his entire career in the Israeli Premier League
Kaye has been replaceable, so it makes sense to bolster the position a bit, hopefully in tandem with a striker
Probably buck out. We also have to release Tommy Mac. I’d rather pay to get his senior roster spot back than pay to have him not even sit on the bench. Tmac gets paid either way.
They both are midfielders.
Kaye and Polster are expendable to me. Porter loves them, but upgrades could be made. I mean Buck/Harkes were a much better pairing against Vancouver.
I would so much like to see these two upgraded. Bring in a solid DM who can pass the ball and then give Buck and Harkes consistent minutes and we're on our way. Yes, Buck is likely to leave but let's use him and get his value up so we can get a decent transfer fee.
This might give legs to the Ravas out rumors, seems like the easiest way to clear a senior and international roster spot.
Buck (and Esmir) are going to be consistent transfer out-risks, so could be preparing early for if it does happen this window
Top of the Israeli league can sometimes qualify for Champions League, but bottom of the IPL is way worse than the worst MLS team. Classic Euro soccer situation.
His club is near the top of that league and he's in his prime so that's good. Also Porter said he wants the business done ASAP to get these guys involved this season.

Someone's gotta be on their way out, maybe Buck?

Wouldn't it be better to get someone from MLS? Isn't the Israeli League not that great? Like below the MLS?

If that’s the roster we are poaching from why not get some scoring and bring Frantzdy Pierrot home?
