    Jordan Peruzza's MLS contract is effective as of January 1, 2021. So he won't join the first team this season

    Hmmm....the small forward / wing position growth continues. 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1 is going to be our staple for a while

    4-3-3 IMO is the best formation. You get width and a numerical advantage in midfield.

    So whats up with Griffin Dorsey? 6th overall pick on a GA contract yet no where near the bench. Back in the day a GA contract meant a top prospect. These days they seem to be practice squad guys on big contracts.

    Think they're taking time converting him to FB. They should do the same for Schaff too.

    Converting him to full back could be a good idea. With Morrow aging and Morgan gone, we're in need of some depth there

    That's Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty, our 16 year old Homegrown player on a first-team contract. He just got a haircut. Jayden Nelson in the background.

    By far the biggest loss for us this year. I like Akinola but Achara gave us a genuine 2nd First team striker threat.

    Just my opinion, I think he may get there and he was great in the MLS Cup but there was something about Achara that felt special, can't exactly put my finger on it. But you know one of those players that defenders know they need to keep an eye on.

    So this guy is now available:

    Lionel Messi has informed Barcelona he wishes to leave the club this summer.

    I think Achara and Akinola have different roles. I'm not sure you can compare them. Akinola is a classic centre forward. Achara comes in from the flanks.

    At the pre-season LA friendly, Achara looked like he belonged on the first team! He was #2 behind Jozy IMO but his injury opened the door for Akinola. It's going to be great to see those two battle for minutes.

    This is a column from ESPN regarding Altidore pursuing the ownership of RSL and if it happens he would also need to play for them.

    https://www.espn.com/soccer/real-salt-lake/story/4170008/dell-loy-hansen-to-sell-real-salt-lakeutah-royals



    I think Altidore would have to end up playing for
    #RSL

    . But I’m checking on the particulars.

    Ok, who/what do we demand in compensation for losing Jozy ... fun speculation. Let's have at it.

    I would imagine TFC and Jozy would mutually terminate his contract and Altidore would sign for a TAM deal for RSL (with some extra ownership perks to supplement the contract).

    Probably just a draft pick. Maybe some GAM

    I would say Cavani that would be sick but maybe we need another younger player that needs some spotlight to get on their national team like Gio did. Can’t get regular starting on a big club but still is pretty amazing.

    Yup, last night proved to me that this team is in transition out of Altidore & Bradley. I'm ok with a Pozuelo led team & see hope in Akinola & Achara. Altidore can still contribute at a DP level but he is mentally not here right now & getting up there. I think he operates better with a strike partner but how to do that with Poz as an AM and us only having 2 decent CB's is not easy.

    I have large questions about who our second DP should be. Bradley is still overly relied upon & as much as I like Piatti, he's up there in age to.


    Needs?

    3rd CB
    Another FB
    Left wing pace
    Define a second DP for the long term
    Find that young 3rd DP to fit in somewhere

    Disappointing result last night Pezo & Piatti cant do shenanigans like that on a penalty when Pezo is automatic from the spot. Aswell you dont do stuff like that when you are losing a DERBY game come on. Vanney better of gave them both shit at half or after the game.

    As per Delgado it seems like every game somone on the team gives him a wide open shot on goal in or just outside the box and he cant even hit the goal getting very frustrating.

    Jozy should be disappointed in his performance tonight so many chances Pezo gave him and he didn't finish aswell as control chances from passes he couldn't keep. He even still does not look 90 mins ready after how along now months.
