They are separate things, sure, but any fan has to care a lot about DP pay.

Signing guys well makes them assets. Signing them poorly makes them liabilities. We are getting a live demo of that. We...

I speculated earlier that he might try broadcasting. He has very high name recognition in the US.

I wonder if it will turn out that we used some form of a buyout on MB.

^Only contenders rent players for the stretch run. It is utterly senseless for last place teams to do it.

I just want to say, Hi!

also Herdman sent Ibarra home - I hated this move from the beginning, glad to see it

It's not deVos, at least

Not saying I know what happened here, but it would be fun to have tentacles arrayed so that you can squeeze every single potential critic in the room by threatening their careers.

Now THAT is...

I stopped listening to Forrest and Footy Prime long ago, didn’t enjoy the tone and didn’t find it particularly insightful on MLS.

One factor: I think the CMNT players from Forrest's generation...

Hoilett is going to score a lot of goals in MLS through 2025. Just me 2 cents.

Hang on. Why isn't he legit solution at striker in 2024?

^Big difference between Seba and Hoilett

- Hoilett is much younger, a current player with value, has a bid elsewhere
- they spent weeks dancing with Seba, had him in training… and never even...

Never even talked to Hoilett

^This makes more sense to me. Six months matters at his age. Let’s let Herdman get a proper look and see how he fits in next year, after other roster moves have occurred.

Herdman had damn better be the one calling this shot.

Nicely said.

What about Stefan Savic at CB? He is a bigtime leader/warrior type, played with Fede at Fiorentina… he would be expensive…

Staq is a tweener in Europe. There are a lot of guys like him there. Good enough to be a regular on a good team, not good enough to ever draw a serious transfer bid (somebody above said Porto would...

Nice player. Wouldn’t he have way better options than TFC in Europe?

Stephen Eustaquio

It's pretty easy, actually. They hve done far worse.

They bought out Jozy when he was owed $6.3M. Maybe they paid a bit less than that, I would guess TFC paid him $4.8M (the difference between...

No. I see the MB question totally differently. This is a major test for Herdman.

Elephant in the room is that MB was kind of the GM here with BB, especially in the early decisions where all those...

I think it's a given that Oso is the captain in 2024, and I think he is a fine choice. He is not the greatest TV interview, but he sure is vocal, and exhibits tons of leadership and passion on the...

Probably. But I wonder.

So, just to stir the pot for laughs… who is Herdman's captain for the three October games?

Herdman has an interesting call to make here. The obvious is to leave it with MB and do nothing (until...

I have a speculation but will save it for another time. Suspect we are having the same thought and yeah, I think the guy who might be doing it won’t be here next year either.
