    I don't think we are playing well, but think back to Manning's interview last October when he kept Vanney on. It's bigger than just Vanney, it's Bez, it's the $100M spent on three players (most of...

    This "explanation" is even more pathetic than the original post, if that's even possible.

    OK that's fair.

    I am glad we won, but what we did is what an badly overmatched team does, to try to eke something out against all odds. That is not my perception of what we are, or are trying to...

    I do not share the view that yesterday's game was a tactical victory by Vanney, I find that way overblown, but I was gobsmacked by Endoh, and Bez/Vanney deserve massive kudos for that draft pick.

    I still think Kreis is going to Seattle. Lagerwey has to be the one waiting in the wings here.

    How would we compete with them? Lagerwey has to be closer to Kreis than anybody. Seattle isn't just...

    It's not that. New manager always equals new players. Every manager has guys he wants, and someone has to go to make room. Often it's someone pretty good that moves on the cheap.

    That does sound familiar. Although I suspect Kreis is gone because Pirlo said "it's me or him" and that is not complicated. Soriano's mistake was in hiring an actual soccer executive in his...

    Well put.

    I don't think there is a "trade" out there, given that contract.

    The team that needs Michael Bradley more than any other in MLS is Chicago.
