  1. Scaloni has an eye for talent and MacAllister is the greatest testament to it! He knows the weak areas of the team and is always for a lookout for players to fill those gaps!

  2. With the Copa America having a 23 man roster we are already stacked with no room for either.

    3 goal keepers

    18/20 field players are locked in unless injury:
    Montiel
    Molina
    Otamendi
    Martinez
    Romero
    Tagliafico
    Auña

    Palacios
    Macallister
    Fernandez
    Locelso
    DePaul
    Parcedes

    Messi
    DiMaria
    Dybala
    Martinez
    Alvarez

    2 spots left:
    Pezella
    A. Correa
    J. Correa
    Garnacho
    G. Rodriguez
    Echeverry

    I want to see these players added to Olympic team under 23 yr old roster
    Varela
    Paz
    Garnacho
    Buonanotte
    Soule
    Barrenechea
    Beltran

    Honestly these could be our front 7
    But we need to add almada and echeverry but hypothetically at a top of our 4-3-3

    Garnacho Beltran Soule
    Paz Buonanotte (Varela)
    Barrenechea

    Add in echeverry and Almada! We are stacked and our 3 over aged players !!! Forgot about them!

  3. With the Copa America having a 23 man roster we are already stacked with no room for either but… Varela should be under consideration for the Olympic team as an u23 player

  4. Not sure what Castellanos would bring, but Varela is a solid prospect. He’s very good.

    Instead of Taty Castellanos, maybe try Beltran? He’s playing more of a number 10 lately but he can be an interesting option to try. He hustles, presses and his build up game is pretty decent as well. Can score goals too. And we will be warding off Italy…they always circle our players as vultures, eh!
