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.

I like watching opposing teams for potential additions to TFC. Right now, Kendall Burks is the guy who stands out to me.
Richie is great, but we really need a DP striker. Yet another game where that is painfully obvious.
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
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 brought my mom to this game and she keeps asking what the heck is this garbage she said she enjoys basketball more that hurts
Is tfc going into a low block ? Are they trying for the tie against a backup keeper ? Wtf
Such bullshit. they don't blow the whistle until Chicago loses the ball? What the fuck is that? Third time, too.
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.
The CPL summer of Perruzza coming soon.
4 on 1 break
Man this could have been embarrassing for tfc
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.
