Why do you think this regarding Coronavirus? We really haven’t had the same level of outbreak in North America as elsewhere. And when do you think we’d see the season interrupted? (Asking as someone...
Would have made more sense to say the biggest disparity between their ceiling and floor. We could be near or at the top or, well, somewhere pretty far from the top. Hard to know.
Ha, maybe it was just my nerves and the feeling that we were going to blow it.
Even in the playoffs I’d say we were the second best team against both NYCFC and Atlanta. I’m obviously not complaining that we made the final but that papers over the fact that we weren’t an upper...
Thanks.
We do need a game so we can see what we really have!
I think Gallardo may be the surprise of the season. I watched him destroying first timers into the top corner one after the other in warm-ups last year. Definitely has skills.
I was fully balanced in my reaction post. You either didn’t read it or chose the most negative interpretation. Cheers!!
I love how some people confuse “let’s have a grown-up discussion” with “I play computer so I can do better than management.”
I don’t see negativity. There are some things to like and some red flags. That’s all I’ve read so far.
Yeah I think that would be a consideration for sure. I just think if they believed this was a guy who warranted big hype the PR hacks would win out to make it a big announcement.
It changes the discussion from this guy has potential but may or may not work out to this is a guy that is going to be a big player in this league. Or at least that’s the hope.
Look, if I am...
That’s not true. How they announce is significant to our supporters and soccer fans who may be on the fence about season tickets or coming out to games. You can already see in this forum how their...
Yeah that’s all I’m saying. They see it as a risky move and don’t want to play up expectations. I’m not saying they are firing all the teachers and ending public schooling so they stuck it on a...
Look at how our DPs have been announced in the past. You see no difference? Heck, Og went so far as to say they won’t announce it late on a Friday an hour or so before they did! We know how they...
They minimize any hype over it. They downplay. Simple.
If this was Giovinco they wouldn’t have done it this way regardless of when he needed to sign. In the PR world Friday at 6:00 is what you do to do under-hype/bury.
He’s older, has been injured and his last two years have been a write off. And knee injuries are the worst - players often don’t come back near the same level. So there is a lot to worry about...
I totally agree with this. Almiron is an outlier not a new trend the league should be pushing to.
Ha ha!! That was great!
Well they knew all about it, they just thought they could rehab it and avoid surgery. Whether 2 1/2 months was a month or so too late to make that decision is another question though.
Also wasn't there a young DP rule in place before? Isn't that how the Whitecaps got Jarju?
I think the league got Miguel Almiron in its eyes in this idea of a forcing teams to take young DPs. I think it's a bad strategy. There is no rock left unturned for European teams looking at South...
That qualifies as "big" I'd say. Glad to see him back. Still one of the best tacklers in the league, and a character!
Ha I thought it was current. Yeah it’s 2020, I must remember that. Still funny he generated this article.
