He threw the grenades. This isn’t that hard.

The list of new players on the BB roster that Bob didn’t sign himself contains two names. Those two players were signed by the guy who fired BB.

Herdman won’t want to move Oso, whatever his year has been. Oso is the only guy here that Herdman knows and trusts. I think Oso is a lock to be captain (not looking to restart that convo, I know most...

MB cannot be in our FO in any capacity for a long time.

MB was the de facto GM after BB arrived. Who else would anyone think made the the personnel decisions when BB cleaned house last year?

My...

These guys aren't wired this way. Nobody walks on guaranteed money. That goes double when you deferred dollars.

^^^^Hala and ag futbol are right. It's over.

I think it's a burn it down 2013 restart, except that Insigne/Defoe/Jozy piece is a fixed object and already here.

As part of that, MB should...

1) He re-signed at a lower salary in 2020. That isn’t “accepting a pay cut”. That was market. It may well have been more than market.
2) If he agreed to defer some of his 2023 salary to 2024, that...

^I remember Jozy went public with his general displeasure at how this episode was handled by TFC, but then decided not to spill the details.

In the spirit of fairness… can we all agree that MB has somehow found a way to be extremely dangerous in the box on corners?

This started last year… it's impressive.

Where the hell did that...

I think Molinaro is a serious, veteran reporter, who understands how to source a story or not.

He chose not to pursue this story. He also chose to go after Kilbane and JDG by citing what players...

BB does not have a huge blind spot. He has a deal.

The deal is:

”I will come to Toronto, as long as you give me TOTAL control.

And if you, the guy giving me that deal, doesn’t understand...

I don’t think it’s right to go after MB for all this.

I have no problem with MB emphatically believing he should play 90, and all that. All elite athletes are like that.

If MB needs to sit,...

^That goal was the coup de grace. It was exactly what Kilbane had shown in pregame.

I am not sure this is a reduced minutes argument. Kilbane just said that to help the medicine go down.

Some...

I see this point 100%.

I also think, wow, the caliber of that analysis was … different. It was like somebody who really knows their shit gave real help to TSN there …

I don’t think this just disappears.

The film session, this Kilbane takedown, whatever is going on with the Italians… (I'm sorry but the Insigne thing just isn’t exactly computing right now, and it...

Such a treat to see the media act like the media.

I love Kilbane generally, and that was good... but holy smokes, he then went on to say Ayo was technically stronger than Jozy. I guess nobody is...

I think, others said it too (someone else posted this a long time ago) …. that Bradley, in order to protect himself because he lacks closing speed, now sits back too much, and allows too much open...

It is kind of important to separate love or hate for posts, and not extend that to posters. Pretty much everyone here has said incredibly insightful things, and dumb things. Sometimes in the same...

It is an interesting observation that Bradley has never been the same since the USMNT 2018 qualification fiasco. Bradley was never again an elite destroyer after 2018 CCL, and that coincdes pretty...

We don’t have landing spots for loans that make sense the way they do in Europe. We did do Bakero at Phoenix. Is that exciting to Fraser or Akinola?

Europe? We don’t have the league stature or...

You think it's different in Europe? Or at other MLS clubs that spend?

Bradley is worth $1.5M. Sure there are many other good midfielders making less, but younger guys don’t have his rights, they would cost you this and more once you assign a value to the trade assets...

No. Nor should he.

I think we should be careful not to over digest this “he took a huge pay cut to stay” narrative. It is almost certainly not true, and it's not the whole story.

We need to...

Bradley's contract extension trigger is totally different from the Masai trade for Kawhi.

When you pay after the fact, you can connect results to compensation in a straight line.

When you do...

It doesn’t have to be Bradley that makes room for Fraser. It could be Delgado. Lots of formations work with 2 DMs, the 3-5-2 obviously for one.

Agree. I would even go three years. But if he's a DP, it's a serious mistake.
