    I saw that clip and Bernie seems like one of those guys. Y'know, kinda... uh...

    positively, I'd say energetic and fun loving, but something tells me that a more negative person would say douchey.

    That was... Weird. That said, if Bernie can score 15 goals in the real world and another 60 in the metaverse, we'll all buy VR headsets.

    So I’m perhaps fooled by the video but does he already speaks English?

    I’d be happy with a very good centre-half and a very good RB. We probably aren’t going to make the playoffs, let’s see what JJ can do with proper service.

    If we go grab a DP striker, since we have no defenders, we might as well play the foosball 2-5-3 formation. I mean we basically already do, since we've been playing midfielders/wingers as fullbacks all season

    With that said, I don't feel like we need one with Jesus here already. Sure, his production has dipped, but he's also had more defensive focus placed on him and less support (i.e. getting rid of Poz, playing with kids up front). Throw him in with Insigne and Bernadeschi and it should do wonders. Last game, he was coming so deep to collect the ball at times, give him less work to do and just focus on scoring with the other players doing the creative work. Let's see how that goes. Granted, Manning might not want to do the wait and see. I really wanted to see Poz with Insigne. That never got a chance

    Ok - so we current line up like this:

    Insigne -- Jimenez -- Bernardeschi

    Osorio -- Bradley -- Kaye

    Criscito -- O'Neil -- McNaughton -- Petrasso

    Westberg

    To make a run at the playoffs we need at least a CB and a RB. We could survive without a DP striker but we cannot survive with this crop of defenders.

    I'll add to this - the clip of his intro and him just signing stuff all day with the fans is going to endear a lot of people to him.

    More pedigree than the guy who was the MVP in Belgium when we got hin?

    Look, I hope Berni succeeds but let's not think that hype trumps stats before seeing reality.

    His scoring record is not all that hot.

    Serie a is in a different universe to the Belgian league.

    A role player at juve came here at age 28 7 years ago and turned in some of the most dominant seasons in MLS history.

    No reason why it can't happen again.

    His Juve scoring record is the equivalent of 3 goals a season & 6 assists.


    That does not beat Poz before he came here.

    We shall see...

    Check out pozuelo record in the big 5 leagues he played in.

    And not quite living up to expectations at juve after a big transfer is nothing to be ashamed of, he was dominant at Fiorentina when he was the go to guy on the team.

    I agree. I have watched almost all his games with Juve, all his games with the Azzurri and many of his games with Firenze. I always felt he was never utilized properly at a Juve and very little patience was shown to him there. His last season with Firenze when he was the main man there, he shone. I think this is a perfect spot for him and expect great things when he gets to start and play week in and week out without the pressure of worrying about being replaced by another super star on the team. He is a strong guy who can handle the physicality of MLS. He is also a fitness freak who can play all kinds of minutes. I love this move.

    Guys, please tell me Manning has been fired? If not, why not and when?

    Anyways, so do we have any full backs and defenders tonight? By full backs I mean actual real full backs that have played there before this year. And CBs, do we have any? Am assuming Mavinga is out, and we are now left with complete rubbish journeyman O'Neil and tries hard csl'er Macnougton?

    Am assuming the Italians aren't playing (looking forward to them no doubt) and its another trouncing tonight. I.e it gets worse before it gets better.

    But for the love of God, if I see the lumberjack Mikey Bradley take another set piece, I'll lose it. Someone tell Coach Daddy that just because Mikey wants to take set pieces, you don't let him...even if he throws a hissy fit on the car ride back home.

    Oh well, we need DEFENDERS and I see nothing was done to address the leagues worrst goals against so the goals will keep leaking...and our 28 game streak of goals against in the league will continue...so much for Coach Daddy's pie in the sky "system".

    How about Dejan Lovren? Was on a Russian league team..is a very good defender, still in great shape...still playing with the CRO NT....he'd be an immediate upgrade and best defender in all of mls. Speaks great english too so will adjust no problem..and the Croatian community here (in particular us Dinamo fans) will welcome him with open arms.

    The big signings are exciting…yet, the lineup against Montreal will be 8 kids, Bradley, JJ and a goalkeeper.

    On the bright side, at least Nelson is suspended for this one.

    OK there was 20% of me that found these posts amusing for a few days a long time ago but I’ve officially reached my limit reading repetitive, mean spirited crap. The board is a worse place for these posts. My day is worse for reading them.

    Someone posted awhile back how to enable the ignore function. Can someone please remind me?
