Really? You think the British Breakers approach is working?
You don't think they need a star forward or big time WNT team player? (Sorry Engen isn't exactly the big name fans are looking for and they need a special player on offense. Go get the next Christen Press to improve the team and get fans excited.)
Draft more supporting player that have been at premier College programs, have received good coaching and proven they can contribute to a strong team with leaders.
Coaching...keep Cat Whitehill and the goalie coach but the rest of the coaching staff has accomplished what this year? Are they developing the younger kids? Have the best players from last year had good years? Is the team winning?
I don't think it's that hard. They have some good players.

As near as I can tell...
In the past year they have traded Alyssa Naeher, McCaffrey, the rights to Danielle Colaprico (NWSL rookie of the year last year) and Sophia Huerta (a finalist for rookie of the year) for....
Whitney Engen, a second round pick, another later pick and an international roster spot?
Maybe it's time to stop trading with Chicago?

Naeher was for Engen + draft pick
International slot abled them to sign English Striker Natasha Dowie
McCaffrey was for four draft picks and an international slot.

There is just a big disconnect between what the Breakers have in the way of facilities and supports compared to with some of these top players are accustomed to from their college days. In terms of what a modern pro athlete typically has at their disposal the facilities at Harvard are mickey mouse and until the ownership starts treating this like a top level pro franchise instead of a minor league franchise they are never going to attract top level talent. What they need to do is invest in a parcel of land in Boston near where the Bruins and Celtics are building their facilities and build a true professional soccer complex that they can share with NEFC and have all of their youth teams help pay for.
