    It was a marginal improvement on a practical level but it was a big step for the league's concept of player management. Runs completely counter to the idea that the players are league employees who...
  2. Fair point and it could bite us in the ass. On...

    Fair point and it could bite us in the ass. On the other hand, guys getting some first team minutes after doing a stint at TFC II is important too. It may be early for this, but long term I hope we...

    Does seem like a bit of a youth movement going on, whether by choice or necessity.

    I wonder now if it was a Bez/league signing over Vanney's head, and Vanney didn't rate him, so didn't use him.
  5. I feel bad about the whole Herc episode. Seems...

    I feel bad about the whole Herc episode. Seems like there was never a commitment from Vanney to utilize him in any effective way. Well, other than that one really important time.

    Hoilett on a half season sal for 2016, possibly back loading part of the overall salary into the future even though they say they don't do that, might work. I can think of some scenarios where that...

    It is odd. Seemed like it was no question Babouli was getting signed. I wonder if something happened or if someone became available in last few days.

    I'm not saying that Cheyrou has to restrict himself to a DM role but hopefully all three of them get to the point where coverage is automatically rotated no matter who is attacking.
  9. Mainly worried they are three guys who like to...

    Mainly worried they are three guys who like to get their chances on goal. That's good, but if they all do it at the same time it's going open a lot of space and possibly pull the back line too far up...

    The midfield worries me. Not the personnel, but getting them work in a complementary manner.
  11. It's a promo for the ASG (and a surprisingly good...

    It's a promo for the ASG (and a surprisingly good one at that). No way Herc is in the video if there is even a whiff of him possibly getting waived. On the other hand, he's not wearing any team...

    I heard an interview with Duncan Oughton. He and Nelsen have set up a consultancy firm to act as third-party deal facilitators. They aren't directly representing anyone. They define it as utilizing...

    God in Heaven, this league. I'd hate to be a GM. I hope they have a listserv where they can find out this stuff quicker than we can.
  14. Happy with Irwin, more than happy to be honest....

    Happy with Irwin, more than happy to be honest. Rapids doing a bigger rebuild than I thought they would (still don't think Howard is going there, though).
  15. Never say never but far more likely Howard will...

    Never say never but far more likely Howard will just retire and move right into a broadcasting job. Been doing commentary on a few PL games during off days for NBCSN so I'd think they already have an...

    This Tim Howard talk is crazy. Not moving to MLS now or in August.

    Vidic would be a great acquisition for any MLS team, if that's what he ends up doing.

    Transcript of the meeting:

    Bez: "yeah, uh, Borriello. He's fine, can't use him. Know any goalkeepers?"
    Agent: "nope"
    Bez: "good day, sir"
  19. Was really hoping to see a GK brought in from...

    Was really hoping to see a GK brought in from Europe at $600-$800K range, starting to think that isn't going to happen. Nothing against Kocic but rather would just re-sign Konopka. This needs settled...

    If this funded by TAM, it's going to be a short deal. De Sanctis is probably would be the easiest to get. He's the backup GK for Roma, btw (4 league starts).
  21. Released from Metallurh Donetsk along with most...

    Released from Metallurh Donetsk along with most of the other foreign players due to the war. Released from Blackpool at end of short contract in the midst of a club management crisis. The ISL is a...
  22. In addition to TFC II, some of these players need...

    In addition to TFC II, some of these players need to get some minutes in out on loan, most usefully in NASL. Not sure of the MLS World HQ's current view on that (loans to NASL), but seems like that...
  23. So, per Orlando journo Paul Tenorio, Bendik to...

    So, per Orlando journo Paul Tenorio, Bendik to OCSC in trade for ???. I'd guess either TAM or GAM. If it is TAM, that would indicate a GK signing from Europe once January window opens. If GAM, then...

    Regarding Will Johnson: while my head wonders about formations my heart says "hell yes."

    There might be some competition over starting spots, that's ok. There might be enough depth to get through the dog days in July and August, that's more than ok.
