Major League Soccer’s primary transfer window closes Monday, after which clubs will have to wait until July 10 for the secondary transfer window to open.

Crew SC coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter didn’t name any one area of the field when asked if his team has a specific positional need prior to the primary window closing, but maintained what he has said several times this season: he likes his team’s depth.

“I think when we get healthy I think we’re pretty good. We’re pretty solid right now,” Berhalter said Thursday. “That doesn’t mean we won’t make any moves, ever, for the remainder of the season, but we’re pretty solid with where we’re at with our group.”

Presented with the idea of an additional fullback as a need before the transfer window closes, Berhalter indicated he is comfortable with the Crew’s current depth at the position.

“We have three right backs (Harrison Afful, Hector Jimenez and Connor Maloney) and two left backs (Jukka Raitala and Waylon Francis), so…” Berhalter said.

Berhalter didn’t elaborate when asked if he has received calls regarding players like midfielder Dilly Duka, who has not made an appearance for the Crew this season but in theory could help another club.

“I can’t speak to that,” Berhalter said.

Berhalter also did not commit to maintaining the status quo with respect to his roster, returning to a line he uses often: “You always want to improve.”

“You always want to get better. We’re always looking to get better. We’re always looking to push these guys for better performances. Even when we play great, we want to improve,” Berhalter said. “That goes the same with the roster. I would say if there’s an opportunity to get significantly better in a position, we’d look to do it.”

Personnel schedule

Berhalter said he has not yet finalized his lineup plan for the next three games. Crew SC faces New England on Saturday, followed by Toronto on Wednesday and Montreal next Saturday, likely meaning more than 11 players will see the field over the next week and a half.

“We’re getting close to finalizing a lineup. I think it will go down to the wire in terms of what we’re doing and how we make that available, but we’ve been working hard with everyone on the team this week,” Berhalter said Thursday. “It’s (been) a good week of training.”

Table talk

Crew SC’s last three opponents, NYCFC, New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC, sit among the Eastern Conference’s top four teams.

New England (2-3-4) sits ninth in the Eastern Conference standings, but Berhalter said he does not worry about his team overlooking an opponent given parity within the league.

“In MLS, you can’t. I mean, no matter who you play, when you play them it’s a difficult game,” he said. “So the table, it doesn’t say much in MLS because any team in any given day can win and you see that every week.”

On the mend

Berhalter said earlier this week defender Alex Crognale could “possibly” return to full training by week’s end. The rookie center back missed last Saturday’s game after spraining his right ankle in Crew SC’s 2-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls on April 22.

“It’s been a process, obviously,” Crognale said Thursday. “You hate to be on the sidelines watching from afar, but I’m progressing well and I’m just listening to the trainers and the coaches and trying to keep working on it.”
