Problem with the SA market is that all the really good, high priced players who would be sure fire solid DPs are already gone to Europe. The only options down there are to roll the dice on youth or...

Further evidence to avoid Brazil when looking for DPs.

He could probably work with really young kids though but a liason is probably more his thing.

Well it's no different than putting Jozy out there. Either they don't play and are unmoveable or they play and are avoided like the plague. They're anchors we have to wear until their deals are done....

He's in the shop window with JMR, Jozy, & Poz.

Much like Jozy I don't think playing him is going to help his cause.

It should have been Curtis as that's his job. This is what he was hired to do. He was like Bez, overseeing football operations while Manning was worrying about the Argos and other BMO money making...

How many diminutive 30+ year old, expensive Italians do these teams usually buy? Besiktas do buy old guys but they don't splash what Insigne gets.

I think people overvalue the market on Italians....

Seems obvious that this offseason gameplan is to tap into certain markets for more season memberships. I am not a fan of this attempted move. Would much rather target younger players.

Working on his resume. It will be finished in about 2 weeks.

Giovinco was similar and I hated it at first but I learned to accept that attitude. I find their on field temperments and attitudes similar, especially year one Giovinco.

The only thing assured if we kept Jozy is more injuries and less than 10 goals (more likely less than 5 honestly) for the season.

Sometimes you have to admit player's are done and he is. He was...

* Signs a random bench level, former fringe USMNT, free agent midfielder who can play all over but be mediocre everywhere like DeLeon.

And resign Gonzalez and give raises to some of the squad's...

It would be pretty funny if it did.

I figured he would dual role GM & manager until his managerial replacement is ready (MB after getting his badges).

I thought I saw Vanney was making $3M.

He is still useful but he really should be on Delgado type money now.

Manning never mentioned defense in his interview. It's all about firepower.

Our defense is apparently fine.
Our team speed is also fine.
Our amount of injuries also fine.

No worries. We...

My main concern is that it means we aren't rebuilding but rather tweaking the corpse of 2017 in hopes of mustering another 2019.

And that probably means Curtis stays.

I figured he was 100% gone but now with this Giovinco re-signing it looks like another kick at the can. I can't see Manning change a GM & manager just to run it back for another shot. Makes no sense....

My worry is that it could mean a status quo approach by the FO.

One more kick at the can with the 2017 type roster with a couple tweaks. We'll also probably go on a bit of a run now that the...

They'll pass on anyone that has no U18/17/15 USMNT experience.

Not allowed under the CBA unfortunately.

As for people calling out Jozy as lazy, he earned it. During the pandemic break everyone did at home training with their trainers on Zoom. Jozy asked to...

First, no way $200k would do it. Second, he's more in Soteldo's spot. And he's 35 and 2 years removed from even having a respectable season.

That's his story everywhere.

I thought he was actually okay for them. Considering.
