Although in our usual well-earned cynicism, I did think it was a rather bright spot this morning when I realized we have one more win than Columbus so far this season.

Yeah, they're probably looking at the metrics of the league generally, as well, which shows not a lot of room for revenue growth, as well as profits that in no way relate to the overall club...

From his presser, I'm guessing we're getting mostly backups and TFCII kids.

Hopefully Mailula gets a start, and Thompson. They need chances to prove themselves in real game situations. Be good to...

Everything Molinaro has reported about them being on a short budget leash is basically the same stuff I was getting from my sources last year and this; they blew it on the Italians, so the gloves are...

Columbus used him as an inverted forward the season he scored nine, and most of them were by beating the back line to balls, not long shooting. A few Crew fans have said that as long as he was being...

Yep. I think this whole season is a prover for Pelley and the board as to whether Manning stays and whether Hernandez has prospects.

Nah, as mentioned above, he's the backup for the guy we didn't get.

Still, decent upside, quick, creates dangerous situations. Fills a hole we have, which is some transitional speed in midfield,...

Now THAT is decent business.

They might even let us play with 11. (I assume you meant to put the new guy next to insigne...)

Columbus fans say he's very talented but massively inconsistent. He runs hot and cold.

He had one really good season going into free agency, which prompted Atlanta to take him on. Then he...

I'm not sure why; we have no cap space, no budget left and no board support for expensive players. We were going to get a player another team didn't want anymore. That doesn't always equate with a...

HAHAHA, good to start the day with a laugh. (Yes, I'm just starting my day. I'm a novelist, we start our day by avoiding work for as long as possible).

Who knows, maybe we get five-plus goals out...

No, I think they see him as an important player. I mean, he had nine goals and six assists in one season in 2022. He clearly has ability and they're gambling he just didn't fit in Atlanta.

He can...

He's very talented but has been inconsistent. Had a great year with Columbus that got him his Atlanta deal, then had trouble cracking the starting lineup half the time.

Perhaps he got lost in...

I've sent a couple of contacts a reasonably polite "what the fuck?" notes to see if I can find out what happened. We'll see. I suspect this was another case naiveté in action.

Jim Brennan's take this week on Footy Prime was that we should put out a strong team and try to wax them 15-0. Be good for morale, basically.

I'm not adverse; most MLS weeks until Leagues Cup are...

I'd assume somewhere around midnight, but whether it's east coast (where MLS offices are) or west coast, who knows. The rules just say today is the last day.

Choco Lozano would be a big get, even though he's older. Not sure if he'd take TAM money at his age. He's Honduran, his deal expires in a couple of months, and he's barely playing.

Don't worry, if you hang around you'll learn I make worse conflation mistakes than this on an almost daily basis.g:D

The day is getting longer. Nothing by 3 pm? Last-day deal sometimes take right...

Well that's me out of watching. Fubo doesn't carry Leeds this year and I'm not paying more per month for the CPL and the odd Canada game than I pay for most major streaming services.

$12.99 for...

He was horseshit and disruptive at Colorado, and my understanding is they were glad to be rid of him. I don't think his early promise was ever going to get over the ego.

As for Coello, his ego...

Trap game? Anyone know enough about Simcoe to know if there's any threat? I read a piece today but it was a bit muddled. Sounded like they have two of the defecting Cubans from the WC cycle, as well...

Danny Wilson fits our profile, lots of time in England, lots of time here. Mighten fits need but we probably don't have the cash to pay him.

Arreaga or Romney would seem mostly likely. We have a...

The transfer fee has to be included in the overall value under DP rules, that's the only reason. He's well under the TAM cap.

Andrew Gutman just came back from a hammie after getting transferred to Chicago this year. He's missed most of the season so far, so Chicago may have moved on and be happy with his replacement....
