So if we sign Arriaga then I assume Coello is the player out.

His contract ends this fall so they chose to waive and eat the salary but the waiving cleared international roster spot. Apparently you can waive him, clear his spot, still pay him his $585K for...

Could be Ayo. According to Molinaro we didn't use our buyout on Diomande so it remains.

Last week I thought I heard Herdman say Insigne was running now but was still 3-4 weeks away from full training.

Osorio officially terrible. Time to go.

It's our providers. They are all shit and/or all trying to walk the ball towards the center of the pitch to work a shot and then it's blocked plus our typical lack of pace and movement.

Herdman...

It never really did work though.

He already had two windows but I would give him this summer for sure. This winter though we will finally have some roster flexibility and if he underwhelms this summer then I'm not sure I would trust...

It seems like he is the directing others type and not really making any decisions himself. Him instituting analytics says similar.

Like it's better than having some boob like Ali or Bob making...

So what we're saying is that he himself hasn't accomplished anything positive on his own.

Time to give our GM his own evaluation thread.

I'll start. Dropping $1M in salary on Mailula & Owusu, both unproven and from lower leagues, at the end of a cooked season, with an interim manager...

I could see it not happening based on money but it's actually better for monitoring/safety as you can't step from one row to the next with that railing separating each row. Unless climbing over it.

I'm going to say it's coming in 2027. They want seats for WC.

Good. There are as many failures at $10M as $3M and frankly we don't deserve any high priced DPs anymore.

It's an easy choice then. Insigne. He frees the most cap space available, a roster spot, and it's not exactly like he's led us to the promised land anyway.

But it won't happen because of cost.
...

Hernandez should be one of the outs too. Signing a U22 with a transfer fee and then even talking about using a buyout on him less than a year later + the Owusu signing when we had no real manager or...

I'd say sure if not a DP but there has to be a reason he's been all over without sticking anywhere and why he is still a FA now.

I could see the PR side of the FO (aka Manning) already thinking: Early season Herdman magic + Shiny New Summer DP Striker + Nations League = We'll be just like Miami

I was kind of expecting a bit more $$$.

I would much rather do this but hopefully the guy doing the scouting isn't the same guy that sold Mailula as a great U22 prospect.

Larin will be the new Giovinco.

Big ifs are if he comes in shape and serious about doing something here and also will the Italians bother even passing to him. They froze out Jiminez and I can't see them being wowed with Larin and...

Old habits die hard and this is the kind of lazy move that would have happened from 2019 to 2023 so there's probably truth to it.

I don't think he's a good fit, I don't think he has the right...

Because he wasn't a good enough fullback.

Most of the Apple announcers don't sound deeply engaged in football with the exception of a few of their A teamers. Most of them sound like castoffs from ABC's Wide World of Sports.
