By all accounts, we would have gotten more but the new CBA kiboshed that.

First of all - gosh the wealth of backgrounds in here is always interesting to read.

Secondly, my initial point about all this was the season is going to have a lot of unknowns, as always -...

Oh, God, I do hope I'm wrong and I'm not trying to be tinfoil hat here but.....10 days ago, nobody was thinking Italy had a coronovirus cluster.

Italian & Japanese league games already...

The people who say right now we are objectively worse than the Fire, Impact & Miami - find their supplier.

My take on all this:


can 2018 happen again? Cause that's what is in...

Yeah, I heard that (one guy on that group with that opinion - Doyle has us to win the East) & wondered what he is smoking. A lot of people look at our defence from March to August as the norm that...

A certain amount of truth in this

Saw that on twitter and just laughed.

Medical science consultant, load management talk - blah blah blah.

Less talk, more do, please.

Here is only place I've seen the goal in question -

Yeah, expect to hear the words load management a lot.

Bradley, Pozeulo, Ciman, Mavinga, Gonzalez, Morrow - all going to get games off for that. Our depth is going to be tested, which is why...

Deserved Red
Nice goals
Deserved Penalty
Respect between Chico & Q after that one save
Good to see

Kloke has an interview with Manning out today (as always, paywall)
...

Cincy has brought in 2 experienced CB's - Zavs is, at best, a backup in this league.

His wage is too much for what he brings. Nobody is going to pay that. He's basically untradeable (that...

Again - Zavs was very good for most of 2017 - we all liked him then in a back 3 with Moor & Mavinga.

He got a guaranteed contract (blame Bez who gave out a lot of them over that winter)

His...

Zavs had a very good 2017.

And he started to regress in September of that year to the point where he was a backup only by the playoffs. He came back to play a role in the CCL but dropped off a...

I deleted that as soon as I reread your post..... me bad. :redface:

Valid point you are making.

I think going into training they are very high on Akinola - his form preinjury was quite good.

If we are needing a CB in the summer, it means 1 of Mavinga, Gonzalez & Ciman has flamed out or 2 of them got injured.

There was an All for One about the Piatti signing put out...

And Piatti right to California today

Yeah, I was surprised at the timing but when you hear the description of what went down its obvious this is an MLS rent a DP signing - he isn't a franchise player.

Everybody knows it a one year...

In the realm of MLS, this guy has more potential then most DP's.

For TFC, its plan C, with a focus on the early part of the season rather then waiting and understanding that he won't be a DP next...

Less goals and never really had a breakout season.

Its a risk - I'd say its a little more probable then Mavinga, Auro, Aketke, & VDW but less then Vasquez. More importantly, this confirms that...

Both Buffery & KJ - Davidson doesn't so maybe "all" is too strong.

Journos all pointing out TFC wanted somebody bigger for bigger money and for longer term but had to change their minds with the CBA. This was option C.


i.e. Fuck Dallas & Vancouver cause the...

LOL

Yeah, what the hell do I know......... :scarf:

When a DP signing happens, it won't be announced on a weekend. This is BIG news to drive eyeballs.

First, there will be a leak - maybe on the weekend but...that will happen. "Sources say..."...
