I think in new MLS 600k for an off the bench striker has to be ok.

Realistically our starting striker should be making at least Osos salary. Anywhere from 1.2 to 2 million.

So a backup on the...

I don't think Prince is too expensive. Too early to tell for me, but if he can sniff around 8-10 goals this season and is cheap I would keep him as an off the bench striker.

Edit: He is on 600k a...

This stuff to me is so silly.

Just raise the damn salary cap so players can build better teams and it solves all the above anyway.

Should be.. NER are dreadful but with Kevin Long out are backline is even more scary.

Yes to all 3. We need a second Kevin Long, someone better then Coello or Thompson for midfield and to ditch Akinola / Mailula and get a competent striker.

Good we shouldn't panic buy. We need bullseyes.

I think the league is moving away from it a bit though in some ways. Inter Miami are spending huge but are not dominating in anyway.

It feels like having a starting XI of all 1 million + players...

Yea I hope they do more this off season. Raise the CAP a lot. Allow teams to actually invest and have depth, especially if they want teams competing in all these competitions.

Even with the...

I would only buyout Akinola and try to fill his spot in the summer with a better striker. Mailula can probably be loaned.

We still need to field a team.

I feel for Owusu, his attitude and work rate is there. He does a lot right but just can't catch a break. Similar to Jimenez.

We have a lot of contracts ending this season. Will be interesting to see who stays. My guesses.

Staying:

Sean Johnson? - I feel he likes stability. Depends how the team does this season...

Don't disagree, but Insigne this season so far has been really good. 2 of our 3 wins are basically from DP style gollasso's from him.

In terms of a striker I totally agree. No more half measures.

Assuming we don't make any big splash on a striker this summer and assuming we get healthy at some point.

When Richie and Lorenzo are back, why not stick Berna at #9? Something like this.
...

Amazing that even with 2 bad losses we haven't lost much ground in the east. Lots of teams drawing and not moving up. Vancouver and Redbulls best records in the league.

Team really needs to turn...

I think I would start both. Put Berna as wingback with Spicer. Owusu up top with Osorio and Kerr behind.

Its unfortunate the Kansas City game went as it did, but cause our next 2 matches are on the road, on turf against teams playing well (Vancouver especially). With that and with our injuries its easy...

What's up with Petretta too? Didn't realize he would be out this long

I completely agree. I'd keep him at wingback until Richie is back probably. He has the stamina to get forward to as we know and will probably have more room with some more ppl in front.

Then I'd...

I think the Apple deal isn't bad but they need flexibility with game times.

For teams like Toronto, Montreal, Minnesota etc every home game before May 1st and after Sept 15th should be in the...

I agree we were due a for dud of a game. We haven't had one yet at all this season.

I also think tactically it was wrong. Berna should have been a wingback and Flores for sure should have...

Afternoon game would have been lovely today...

Thinking on it, I expect Herdmann will do this then to see the strongest XI.

--‐----------kerr----‐------------

Losing Insigne again is unfortunate but I also feel like he is somewhat easy to replace in the new system. Osorio moves to his spot and Berna moves to Osorio's. Kerr or Owusu up top.

I suppose we...

I'm going to make no predictions until the injury list comes out.

But I think Berna scores this game. He was on fire last game. It's coming.

Last season it was worse. The home opener and all games were at night. This season it seems they allowed the first 2 in the afternoon.

I would push to allow the first 4-5 home games for Toronto in...
