Ah to be fair, there's 'retirement league' (And a signing like Kroos would be in line with that) and there's Lionel Messi. You don't turn down the chance to sign Lionel Messi in 2023, and nobody...

Ah to be fair, there's 'retirement league' (And a signing like Kroos would be in line with that) and there's Lionel Messi. You don't turn down the chance to sign Lionel Messi in 2023, and nobody...
My bad on 2019, though that was still the bones of his
But two things. Columbus are a mess? An under resourced team very much in play off contention is your definition of mess? Is he supposed to...
For sure. I'm happy to hear counter arguments, as nobody is perfect and certainly Bez isn't either
But that argument better be based on results and not 'yeah but he made some signings while we...
Yeah, the guy who assembled a squad with depth, the only one in our history that wasn't a joke. That one, yeah. Love the cherry picking random things like it counters the actual, tangible results (us...
I don't know that that's the problem, I think our problem is we've had only one GM who even had the slightest clue how to manage the salary cap and actually put together a full squad. We've just made...
We also, if that happens, once again, take MLSEs money and absolutely light it on fire. They can't keep just throwing tens of millions against a team that can't even make the play offs and eventually...
Why are we blanket assuming huge parts of our squad would have no issue with this? I'd imagine the Italians would have a problem with anything considered completely unprofessional (The idea of this...
Our asset management, specifically but not limited to the full backs, are beyond defending. The Lawrence one is always the one that worried me. If Bob decided to kick Lawrence out based on attitude...
The lengths and convoluted rulesets this league will goto to suppress wages is incredible
If people can defect from Barcelona to Real Madrid, a rivalry so deep that it emcposses brutal oppression of nationalism, a massive political divide and has history that includes the president of one...
Love the guy, fully support him wanting to get paid, but I struggle to disagree with this. If the standard of our DPs, and the kind of player we could plug in there is someone like the Berna or...
If true, give him the rest of the year off. We've nothing to play for. Let him recover mentally and physically and show him that we're there for him. That's awful, no way he can focus on football...
For me it's less that I'm confident we will be challenging, and more that if we're not, management has failed. Think of what we've done
- Played the transfer market like we're playing a video game...
I think the point isn't to say he's great or awful based on stats, but to point out that cherry picking a few stats to make a claim as high as he's statistically one of the best mid fielders in the...
The words 'Beyond 4 guys' are doing some pretty heavy lifting there.
Those 4 guys represent more spending, and a higher caliber of players in, than 99% of this league could even dream of doing....
With the money we spent if the bar if 'still bad, but better than last year when we were an absolute joke' everyone should be fired today, no ifs ands or buts. The bar, in reality, is far higher than...
You're very right I don't know, but we can only judge a horse by the races it's run and TFC generally drops the ball big time on transition plans and aren't making any noise whatsoever that a...
Exactly my point. And, the two way central mid field position is simply far too complex and far too nuanced to look at one or two stats and make deductions about being among the best mid fielders in...
Some stats are, and there are some parts of his game that are still truly excellent. It's a gross simplification to deduce from that that he's statistically among the best midfielders in the league....
Agree with this, but we all need to accept there's a 0.0% chance of Bradley giving up the captains role or not playing any minutes while fit next season. We'd sooner jettison the Italians and just...
Our contract management is flat out really bad, in every way. Extending when we shouldn't, letting key assets just run down their deals, we're consistently making pretty poor decisions in this area
...
Maybe, I just don't care about being mocked. Random internet commenters mock everything. In their prime you could find random commenters saying Messi and Ronaldo were shit and laughing at them if...
I agree with the first part of this. I mean honestly, talk to your scouts? What's a more efficient way to answer a question, search a database with the answer and find it in literally 5-10 seconds,...
Why does this make people so angry? He wanted to see a list of high profile players out of contract who wouldn't need a transfer fee to come here.
So...he...Checked a list of high profile players...
Yep, me too. I think we get back a player who is fired up, especially with the world cup coming. But in the worst case scenario, we have an option to see what he's like before we buy. It's a nice...
