    Let's be honest, we are either giving Richie a full on 2 million plus a year DP contract or losing him again. He is DP level in MLS.

    Those aren't recorded as tackles, they're recorded as "recoveries."

    I like watching opposing teams for potential additions to TFC. Right now, Kendall Burks is the guy who stands out to me.

    He's on £300,000 per season at Forest, or about $500,000.

    Didn't the MLS salary release list him as being at 1.2 million here?

    Richie is great, but we really need a DP striker. Yet another game where that is painfully obvious.

    No problem. I haven't checked but imagine he has a few of those.

    And yes. Almost 1.3 million.

    In BB’s defence
    What does anyone expect to happen in this game? In the starting lineup I count 5 tfc2 level players plus MAK.
    If tfc wins that’s not saying much about the quality of this opposition and the league in general

    We're at home, if this was a road game ok, but in MLS you have to win these games at home.

    Guys, I almost feel like I started a lot of this MAK criticism because he is basically Mark Delgado with a Canadian birth certificate. But, he isn't our issue right now.

    LOL, we gave MAK a $500,000 a year raise when he came here, I notice. He was on $235K a year at Colorado with multiple years left.

    But I guess we needed that to attract him to... oh wait, never mind.

    His miscontrol numbers this year are awful, 24 through 16 games. Puts him on pace for more than 50.

    You know, the more I look at his numbers in LA, the more it looks like he's always had some serious flaws in his game. He had 58 one year, his second at LA. He's dispossessed a lot, as well.

    Fair enough, but he's struggled tonight. So has Mabika, so has Franklin. Fede's made some poor choices. Kerr had a couple of good chances.

    Really we should've put this one away aaaaages ago.

    I never liked the trade from the moment it was announced, bringing back a former academy player almost never works out, there is a certain level of arrogance associated with the returning player.

    Wait, we have him an extra 500k per year?! Gonna change my mind and say he isn't as good as Marky considering we paid almost triple the GAM we received from the Galaxy and Kaye is on nearly double Delgado's salary. Factor in Priso and that is awful man management.

    Also, hearing Gutierrez playing for the Fire has me wondering what the fuck actually happened to Christian Gutierrez after we picked him up? And where is he now?

    I think the MAK trade was bad, too, but that has to be some fuckery on those reported salaries, like insignes being reported at half what he's on, right? What's our incentive to negotiate a new deal of any kind with him? I love to dump on Manning and Bob as GM but even I can't believe thats as bad as it seems

    Fuck, motivate your players man, get active on the sidelines. He's a statue this game. Last game, he was running up and down, screaming at them, talking to them constantly.

    Also forgot the first round pick which would have been inexpensive depth to fill around the Italians

    I guess crisicito saw the writing on the wall retires to unretires.

    Tired being lied to and not having transparency .

    How does tfc either acquire injured players or cause players to be injured over the past 4 seasons this is insane.

    So many others would relish for this opportunity

    We are so lucky Chicago are so bad...how do you fuck up a four vs one so much you don't even get a shot away!?

    Genuinely can't remember a team this bad here, maybe red bulls recently but they were decimated so I give them a pass

    LOL, to hear the MLS announcers, two games in four days is horrifically hard. "Load management"; good lord. I know this league has travel and timing issues with respect to training but it also plays 15-20 games a year less than the average top Euro league.

    I know MAK might be in the analytics MLS grade, but what's always put me off is his technique and gracefulness on the field... or lack thereof lol. Looks like he's always receiving the ball between his feet, head burrowed down looking between his legs, his movements clunky, decision making slightly delayed and at least to me.. never looks like he is in control of his bubble and anxiety free, guy looks stressed out on the ball anytime he's near it and looks like he plays reactionary. Despite the analytics and numbers, often he doesn't pass the eye test.

    His clunkiness around the field reminds of at Matuidi when he was at Juve. Maybe the numbers show he's a baller, but eye tests of their technique and lack of smooth control of the situations they put themselves in out there make it come off like they are always 'not dialed in' at all lol.

    I think after the drama last week the realization may have settled in this week that it might be over.

    Killbaine is probably right in that they are all dead man walking.
