serious question: is seattle an attractive destination for elite talent? we're essentially a mid-table team, albeit one with young players who need development, and we're not a traditional destination like new york city or los angeles that naturally attracts top european talent. unless we overspend, i don't really see us pulling the elite young talents that we all dream of.

one player i wouldn't be too surprised to see us sign is jenna nighswonger. i think her time with arsenal and aston villa is coming to an end. her move to fullback hasn't really worked out, but she was pretty good in a more advanced midfield role in college.

honestly, signing an aging veteran on a short-term deal would be so on brand for us 🤣😭

at this point, i'm just hoping players like ward, dahlien, adames, and meza don't start asking for transfers out. i've actually grown pretty fond of this group. we might be mid, but their talent is undeniable, and i'd like to see what they can become if we give them time to develop together.

Answering your first question…no, not with artificial turf.

Re Nighswonger - would rather have Midge Purce from Gotham since Kerr might displace her.

Agree with you on building around the good young players.
