Have At It People
I have zero expectations and hope of post season is gone for me now....just want to be entertained. And if Insigne is still feeling anything from the last game please don't play him on the fake turf in ATL. Not worth it.
should probably do some rotation here with playoffs all but gone.
the same guys who have been starting every week look gassed.
If Bono starts, then it's probably because they still think they can qualify for the playoffs and they're trying to give Bono a chance to improve his market value with a good result (remember he did have a clean sheet a couple of weeks ago). I'm assuming anyone but Bono in net means that they're planning for next season.
He's a free agent in December, market value $0.Quote:

We should be starting an academy keeper for the last 4 games. Lets see something else.
Between the fact that a) Bob said after Charlotte v1.0 that he and JesusQuote:

I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to move Jimenez
in the offseason.
He seems a clearly better player than Ayo; you'd expect if Bradley hasn't soured on his
personality, he'd start him against Atlanta because he's on nine goals
for the season AND despite a four game look Ayo has accomplished little.
If he doesn't start against Atlanta
I'd worry once again it's BB seeing someone as "disruptive".

I’d be surprised if JJ was back. And Ayo so far seems a waste of a big contract. I don’t see him working out very well in Bradley’s football club (though not to say he’ll be gone).Quote:

Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/MLSist/status/1567513214325325825
ATL will be without Martinez, who was suspended for a week for getting into a physical altercation with Pineda and flipping over the club's dinner table...
That might actually be a negative for us - he's become a distraction.

I have been strongly chastised in this Forum before for this notion, rode hard and put away wet to say.
But I think Josef Martinez is a striker type we could use.
At the right price; another reclamation.
The HIGH-TAM Ayo and tandem to some other EURO-DP JJ.
I think he would fit with the Italians' football'in style, experience and expectations.
I understand he may be / is disruptive.
Still, Kei Kamara has the reputation of an aggressive mutating cancer, and yet look what he is doing for MTL; look what he did to TO.
So glad that Bob did a complete and thorough evaluation before he signed JimenezQuote:

Nothing wrong with JJ as a MLS striker. He just lost his confidence and then the Italians lost their confidence in him. It happens.Quote:

“He just lost his confidence “ really? I say a player with no pace , not a strong work ethic on the pitch and a player that can’t find space if his life depended on it, but if you want to blame confidence have at it.Quote:

Still, it's not over, til it's over.
What BetMGM thinks of our goalkeeping right now:
Toronto FC to win and Atlanta United not to score
+625
Enjoy his last few games here as Bob will admit the folly in bringing Jimenez here and see him offQuote:

A decent signing at the time.
Maybe even still now if...
Whether he gets his mojo back with us or somewhere else, he's a solid footballer.
That is so absurd it’s almost funny.Quote:

This opinion is offered without having having kept requisite track of him - but hey, posting with only the slightest grasp on reality seems popular here these days! Given his production this season, his attitude (which, frankly, I’ve always liked) and the potential service he’d get here, I don’t think he’d be a bad idea.Quote:

IMHO, lots of quality and value to be discovered or had in such 'Eastern' European Leagues.
BTW, does anyone of the community know if 'OPTIONAL' TAM is still in effect and how much more it is in addition to a teams 'REG' TAM budget allocation?
