That’s a fair pick. Laryew has been playing that fullback role for a full six months. There’s upside there for sure.

Okello would be great. You can see the huge potential there but he needs to be consistent and sharp throughout the game.

He’s wild but exciting right now (from what I’ve seen).

I’m not so sure. While we did get good play from Fraser, our record without Bradley last year was quite bad.

Others, sure. We’ve basically already proved it out.

My only thought on the above would be, for team that has a top payroll, shouldn’t the mentality and ability of the players be more than workman-like effort? The latter sounds more like something for...

I would say this: the team performed well last year but you could argue there was still more potential and that cup could have been ours.

Part of fulfilling that potential is having healthy...

I always think the simplest and most plausible explanation is best.

Either, we have sports science people who are smarter than the rest of the league (and a lot of other teams around the world)...

It’s hard to tell what angle the attacker is coming in at as well. If he’s got a lot of net to shoot at it becomes incredibly hard to always cover your near post.
But agreed, looked soft. I think...

Agreed, but I’m not sure when that’s going to be. Looking even at the preseason lineups, he’s not getting much burn. Injured perhaps?

Meh, let him play it out.

Look at the production we got from Osorio in his contract year.

It’s Curtis’s job box though. If he’s passing the keys to manning it’s still his risk.

If our team flames out with bad signings I guarantee the fall guy will not be the person who also looks after...

Thanks, sorry for the misunderstanding. I deleted my reply as well.

I find that unreasonable.

He took over a team that wasn’t performing in the prior year and that team had made some terrible personnel moves (Aketxe, VDW). If he walks in as GM and just says “ya...

I don’t know about the next few years but this league better get its shit together in advance of 2026. If there was ever a chance to springboard soccer in North America to something closer to the...

I dunno about this. Not so much the pedigree or age (both are fine) but the injury history. I put zero faith in the examination by our medical staff.

You have a target man up top who has trouble...

Not clear to me Gallardo will amount to anything.

Just as much chance they signed a lemon as a development project.

Agreed, it’s a poorly founded stretch. They’ll be players sold, but it won’t be the norm.

Agreed, even if you don’t like the take it’s a rare day where someone fires a shot across the bow like that.

I’m no medical expert and VV certainly worked out well. Not sure what to think. At...

Rare sighting: a critical article on a potential signing

Huge respect for Piatti. He was one of the best players in MLS for a few seasons (shame it was all wasted on club cheese).

On the one hand he’s interesting cause like Pozuelo he can score and he...

Yes, agreed activity for the sake of it is not the goal. Paper signings do not tell the story.

Now that said, my point of contention would be: it has been a quiet offseason with relatively little...

The problem is the keeper position is morphing more into a role that focuses on the skills Bono clearly doesn’t have.

I’d ring the register if there are any takers. Come on Cinci, I know you want...

I wonder if he’s still on some minimal contract.. probably eager to get paid for all his hard work.

That’s a great point. And people have argued many times in the past other nations in concacaf (Honduras, Costa Rica) have benefitted from the league more than Canada has.

It’s all because they...

Certainly not the case but he added something to the team. Very okay with swapping him for another option.

Let’s not forget, when recalling last year’s success, we played some tough games along...

It’s not like any of this is new. We’ve been waiting for good winger / secondary goal scoring threat since mid 2018.

Last year Curtis was new, what’s the excuse this year? I don’t think we’re...
