So it was made public yesterday that RSL parted ways with: Thompson, Davis, Banghart, and El Khaifi but that hasn't solved all their issues as they still have 26 players on their roster as of today:

So the question remains will RSL find a way to loan a couple young players, if they should find another striker to add where to they clear some room if MLS stays with a 24 man roster? I have to believe one move will be going to 2 GK's, which can be a risky move but most teams are wanting more field players and with 7 additional matches in 2010 RSL might be forced to make the same move.
The loan of Alex Nimo last year cleared a roster spot for the team, could he, Tino Nunez, Chris Schuler, or others be offered up to 2nd division teams for loans? It is clear in looking at the 26 names on the roster, that losing anyone will be tough on the club.
