Not to sound entirely heartless, but it’s my observation that most teams can’t help themselves when it comes to balancing the two of these.

Rather we keep it straight down the middle. You can...

Imagine actually sunsetting your players in the twilight of their careers! What a concept.

These links are nuts.

Messi is one thing but to get any chance of “full value” for what you’d have to pay the guys mentioned above MLS would need to be a whole different league. One with bigger...

Adekugbe to Vancouver now done according to Bogert. Very strong signing IMO. Like this way more than Laryea as DP.

Poorly phrased on my part. It was more so saying “next 48 hours would be key to the process” then going radio silent other than requiring our press Corp to drag a meager sound bite out of them weeks...

Little extra egg on Manning’s face. As much as we shouldn’t be prioritizing a RB.

Edit: would it have been so hard to tell the fanbase in advance we at least tried?

...

That’s very fair. No point of buying the ingredients if we don’t know what the chef wants

LAFC signing Spanish striker Mario Gonzalez. Not the most intriguing move but I’m still a bit pissed we haven’t seen anything outside of our new u22 guy who is more likely to play out wide..

Well something is changing with the cap certainly. No way they can accommodate all this without absolutely hatcheting the rules. All these...

Yeah, I think with Beckham it was basically a giant “WE HAVE A PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE” sign board. It undoubtedly worked and brought an awareness of MLS to the general public (even if many people won’t...

Minority opinion (not mine): if there’s enough quality across the squad they will expose the tactical naivety here. Run, run, run but if the ball moves fast enough the other team is going to be...

Is it too late to sign Doniel Henry and schedule a home game for mid January?

Don’t worry the goal posts just move over to “their teammates suck, they can’t do it all themselves”

These guys have a preset narrative and nothing observe do will change it. It would take a MLS...

Martinez is broken too. Best years are behind him.

This is an interesting transaction. Promising, 20-year old international for $1.75M GAM. Overpayment or shrewd? Will depend on how he...

Allegedly this long rumoured CFMTL / Hazard transfer is on. Reporter teasing saying news coming “bigger than Drogba”

Think he means that literally given how far Hazard is probably overweight at...

I think the whole team is a remake at this point. They have a shocking lack of foresight and are blinded by enthusiasm for building Messi + friends (in fairness who wouldn’t?)

I would be circling...

If I were TFC, I would be all over Campana. My only concern is he’s not far enough into his career yet to be really assertive demanding the ball from the other high paid guys.

We need someone at...

I think Joao Paolo qualifies as a DM. He’s just very, very good at distributing the ball from deep lying positions so it doesn’t feel like you just paid big money just for a battering ram.

I think we're already sort of clearing that bar, no? To me, it's important to have a few Canadians on the roster who play meaningful roles but beyond that I think any acquisitions should be about...

Scott Arfield just signed with Charlotte. Wonder if we ever showed interest? Feels like a low-TAM level AM. He does defend a bit but not much.

If I wanted an oft injured under performing striker, I’d just turn to one of the other ones we have on the roster.

It does allow for unilateral relaxations though. So if the clubs agree to loosen the purse strings it does not require player consent.

This is how you get deals for good players. Forced seller, viewpoint that thinks about the preferences of a new coach / incoming star while ignoring what is given away.

Maybe they’ll decide to...

The level of play in this league has accelerated so much over the past decade. This group of officials as a whole was never going to be able to keep up. They need to cut the dead weight.

And I...
