That’s fair. The U-22 initiative, because it’s so restrictive and is set within a web of restrictions, encourages higher wage, higher ceiling/sales players. I’m not sure we should he taking a flyer...

Yeah, I saw that. Speaking of judgement, that was a crazy call. But then our academy has been a maze of bad judgment calls. It seems Herdman won’t stand for that… a good sign, let’s hope.

Sounds better than my condensed, half quote above of (almost) the same moment… but what does it mean? He’s okay to have around but at least one more season away from playing in the league and even...

I agree with this. Herdman has been quite open all along so far, more than most. He lets us in on his thinking though not at the expense of firstly motivating his players.

Sure, man, but everything that happens in a football team involves judgement… it might be said that making innumerable judgement calls is the reason people are hired to run the clubs. Doesn’t mean we...

Is Thompson’s contract up at the end of this season? Given how much Herdman can use a RCB who can get forward, I’d continue with the experiment at least while Thompson doesn’t count against the...

Or maybe not entirely shocking given how much Columbus is putting into their Champions Cup. Still, unexpected that it’s us with more wins.

Apparently they see Etienne as a left wing first and then attacking midfield and left wingback. Filling in for Insigne and then for Osorio when he’s with Canada this summer. At the moment, Osorio...

Davidson’s article.

I didn’t know Dumitru was 17. He looked very composed.

I’m sceptical. I didn’t see enough there… but difficult to tell in that match.

About Cash Money, I’m of the mind that, yeah, he’s too small and slow to play much in MLS. Despite the goal and the nice strike I can see why he’s not gotten a start before this.

Difficult to say, the levels were so different. 5-0 was Spurs vs Marine. One loses track of the score after awhile but it was fun in the stadium, most people seemed to be enjoying it, cheering for...

Should be.

Long with the header, Oso again involved… this is looking good for morale.

almost a second from Cash.

Nice to see Oso roving box to box. He really should only play in the middle of the pitch.

Gavran best stop so far.

Cash money!

Thanks for posting. We should really be taking care of business with this 11.
Full midfield I hope, some service from there and attacking down the left with JMR?

Franklin covering Thompson.

That is shocking!

This is the lineup I’m expecting. Herdman, in his first club gig sounds, in general, like he’s really trying to play it safe. As he should do, given our recent injury history.

It’ll be fun -...

Yeah, although the jury is still out on Hernandez, I’d be suprised if Rubio, him and Herdman together were going to be a problem.

The problem is the short budget leash. And what happens after...

Seems about right. And Herdman is sure to use him in that way, I’d think.

Poz, our Zelarayan is in UAE at the moment, helas.

I hope you’re right. That would be more aware of what’s going on than we’ve probably ever seen the board re: TFC.

Given the lack of the further budget, guys like Long and Flores are pretty much the best we can do until contracts run out. One more signing to come in the summer of around that level?
