It is a long list when compared to the successes:

Mavinga

Laryea

Keeping Oso

Hagglund trade (although use of resources on Gonzalez not looking so good now)

van der Wiel for Beitashour

Inability to draft a single serviceable player since ... Silva?

General underperformance of Academy

^What signs?

Larry T hasn’t mentioned Manning since March. Friisdahl has never said a word about Manning (or anybody or anything else, ever).

Manning burned USD $75M in the last couple of...

Serie A isn’t England, and Insigne may well not be going to Man Utd… but this is over-rotating.

Scoring 19 goals for Napoli is a serious accomplishment in world football, and pretty much any 30...

You don’t need to believe that Insigne is going to Man Utd to believe that the idea that he winds up in MLS soon is a crock.

I get that it might be Atletico Madrid or Sevilla or Leverkusen or...

btw I made the point that a Santos number 10, a pretty good South American, can't be a truly elite player because he couldn’t handle a Canadian…. without even realizing how absurd that statement...

^Yeah that is pretty solid speculation jloome

Re Man Utd, they bring in these sorts of guys as depth all the time, no? Like Cavani last year. Maybe Insigne to Man Utd, Cavani (finally) to Miami...

The Soteldo theory is interesting, but I can’t get around the basic problem that big teams never have 5'2” players. Like, literally never. There is an athletic component at that level that becomes...

This Insigne thing, cmon. That is not happening. Players with actual interest from clubs like Man Utd don’t come to MLS. Their agents talk up MLS as part of how they negotiate. Cavani on his way out...

^Yes, when I saw the stories about the Oso stories in the Mexican papers Friday, it got me wondering whether Oso gets sold to Liga MX this off season. I hate to say it, but I would be happy for him...

Sorry but this Poz thing is not exactly some sort of predictable or boring form of hyperventilation.

Poz does not have a long term injury, has hardly spoken in public, and when he has, he has...

It's the Frings game plan all over again. Frings was "week to week" but in the end spent months in Europe while they worked out his deal (in his case an insurance buyout)

My further translation is that Poz ain’t coming back. I would go so far as to say that the deal to send him back to Europe in the January window is already lined up.

There is no way.

I could see him getting $1M a year. Maybe.

Pirlo. This is the Vieira thing all over again.

I have news for everyone. These guys travel in helicopters. They aren’t grinding it out, ever. There is virtually no scenario in which a former...

Disagree re general striker comment/discussion.

I could see him becoming an MLS version of Super Pippo. A poacher.

He was always very positionally aware.

I think there is no scenario where...

Just to add to this very good point… why blame guys for going for and getting maximum dollars? I root for them when they do it.

The results of overpaying or otherwise getting it wrong belong...

We are not Real Madrid. It is different for a super club, sure, no room for sentiment there.

It is better to root for a bad club with an aging favourite son, than a bad club without one.

I don’t want to overdraw the analogy, but it's not like it was a bad thing that Dichio was here in...

I would wait and see what happens. There really is no bid elsewhere for Gio, it's possible he could be available on a basis that makes sense.

If they are crazy/desperate enough to pay him real...

Why all the vitriol?

None of us have any idea what happened in Saudi. He was without his family, Covid, that is a weird league…

I’d take a flyer on Gio if you could get him for $200K. I mean,...

It makes absolutely perfect sense to me, same as Dero in 2014… if he will play for 200K, and if he will accept that he isn’t an automatic starter (again same as Dero)

Yeah nobody is paying anything for a year of Pozo at $8M …. if anything we are looking at a buyout there.

Kaye is just a simple but monumental talent evaluation mistake. To have had him for two years, and see what he did almost from day one at LAFC…

The mistake was probably a result of being overly...

Everybody (fans and Mgmt) need to face some facts about how elite kids view TFC. This is not just about Ali Curtis.

Almost all kids are going to try for Europe if they think they have any kind of...
