Or maybe just play DeLeon up top a bit more!

Keep Jozy. Redeploy dollars from Gallardo and maybe Ciman, you get a $1.5-2M for a second striker and a different winger (you might keep Benezet, who would probably cost $750K or something)

Guys...

It was a mistake, but let's not overdo it.

It's 20/20 hindsight, Frei was not the keeper he became (Sigi deserves the credit for getting it out of him, RIP) and international spots were and are...

This is what we probably have to do. I love Jozy, he is worth a DP spot, but we probably need a second legit striker to be a dominant team a la 2017

Lamela and Bradley are very friendly, they know each other from Roma. Bradley has mentioned him as someone he learned a lot from. It wouldn’t be far fetched for them to wind up together somewhere.

What?

He's a 28 year old world XI player with an injury history. Without that history, he'd make 25M a year.

At 4M a year he'd have serious interest from 6 MLS teams.

That’s an over the top reaction to tire kicking. Nothing wrong with asking the price.

Yeah Mavinga is gone at year end. That one tweet on the day after the Euro window closed, the last one in that long post above from Sep 2, he was putting it out there in neon.

I mean, this went...

Tweeting about despair at the end of the window, that's not all that enigmatic.

I am guessing Mavinga has asked out or wants to go home, but TFC isn't interested or didn’t get the offer they want....

I wonder what would cause Mavinga to say this (on the last day of the Euro window)?

No. I never said they wouldn’t come. I always said we would have to pay full freight, because we are not NY or LA and I used to say that Manning wouldn’t spend USD 30M+ on a player the way Leiweke...

Oso needs minutes with a first choice lineup. I hope Vanney isn’t sitting him to play Benezet, and is not blaming him for the inconsistency in our play this year. That's been 100% a problem with the...

This transaction type is bad for the room. Nobody should be in there with this limited a commitment out of the gate. It guarantees the outcome far too often.

Even if that weren’t true, these deals...

I have been out of the country so haven’t been able to fully chime in on how vexed I am about this deal and what it signals.

How many of these loan to own deals work? What are the odds that he is...

I just think it's seriously weird that they made such a big deal about character signings, then sign a guy with a pretty similar recent history to vdW, and then the reference is from the manager that...

So, am I following the plot correctly? Did Vanney's recommendation come from a former Guingamp manager that is the exact same guy Benezet publicly blamed (post the manager's departure) for his...

He played next to N’Golo Kante and Caen (4 goals in 12 games).

....so there is that....

We have gone from en fuego with non DP guys from Europe (Ricketts, Hasler, Mavinga, VV of course) to ice cold (vdW, Aketxe, Boyd).

Has anyone in the league been worse at this in 2018-19? It's not...

That is what I thought about too. Not Doneil Henry's finest moment...

Re Canadian player development, no point blaming TFC if they discriminate against Canadians, it's 100% an MLS problem. Welcome to the number one argument for the CPL.

Until Canadians become...

Can I just go back to the Gallardo signing for a second? Something about that bugs me.

We heard all this stuff about how much diligence they were doing on players, and that is why it was taking so...

I believe Mullins' contract expires this year. It'd better. Otherwise he is on way too much.

Mullins ceiling is ... what he was three years ago. He is purely a depth rental, and not much of one.
...

Blink reaction: like it. Venezuela feels smart. There must be a lot of good players that want out.

My only concern is our lack of infrastructure for a young South American (mitigated in part by...

President/GM setups are a relatively modern idea, and they mostly don’t make sense to me. The model is being applied thoughtlessly.

It seems when it works best, there isn’t much confusion about...

Just tuning in. What has he done?

EDIT: in the 10 minutes I have been watching, Bradley has been undressed 3 times.
