Playoffs are still possible with help from other teams.
I guess it all depends if they beat Chicago and Montreal then we will know
This makes me happy.

Here's my pick for another Italian: https://www.transfermarkt.us/roberto...spieler/197471
Roberto Gagliardini is a 28 year old CDM with Inter with 1 year left on his contract. He was a rotational player this past year and has asked for more playing time this upcoming season or to be sold. He seems to be a strong defensive and physical player.
nothing but love for MB heart and soul guy a true legend.but iwant him to retire at the end of the season and become prez of the club so manning can go to a usl or aaa baseball club thats more his speed
I get its "Bob is incompetent because he hasn't done anything since Friday and we lost (sorry tied) a game on Saturday" day but do we have to act like English newspapers & have the attention span of gnats?
Gagliardini has spent much of his time - certainly in recent years - as a mezzala, not in Bradley's position. He's really poor by Inter's standards, but I guess he'd do a TAM job in MLS.
Come to think of it, he's basically to Inter what Bernardeschi was to Juve: the butt of jokes, even among his team's fans. So maybe there's room for him here after all.
Just realized that Berna is a left footed attacking mid...what's the downside...Diego Maradona Vela,
If FB signs i am calling it he will be the best assist man in MLS. We will forget about Poz in a flash.
Ouch! But fair by some circles.
Do not believe it is him though.
A #BullS**tBillSearch based on 'current prologue' of a 'free' and the rumor's implication... 'that it is (also) an Italian (esque/dual)' and not just a SerieA player... suggests...
https://www.transfermarkt.com/spiele...=alle&yt0=Show
Also, anything is possible; that is, not necessarily a DP, but a TAM or REGSAL.
A temp void and/or rotational fill.
Someone identified, maybe young or by connect for stability and options.
My 'logical' and 'au currant' 'priority' thinking being CB then RB then DDM(MB Replacement)
IMHO, the three most obvious or reasonable with a degree of 'cachet' on that list being...
1/ Belotti; FW/S and still available?
It seems so, with 'Milan being the dream behind many of his contract rejections'.
However, his childhood club is showing no interest.
Roma and Napoli latest front runners.
At Roma he would be a second/bench option though.
For TFC, I guess it would be 'The Run And Gun' option; the offensive spectacle.
2. Luca Ceppitelli; CB and RB!
A Cagliari stalwart.
Has seen it, and played against, all in SerieA.
Record of playing half to three quarters of a season.
Injury Prone?
3. Davide Santon; A right footed full-back/wing-back/winger. Usually LB but lots of RB.
Such a move would be in keeping with TFC's apparent plan to address the flanks.
Has teams, leagues, winning, experience pedigree.
Has lost starting positions to competition.
Recently and usually played a third to half seasons
Is minor injury prone.
I think the 'Fourth Italian' is possibly a consideration between Ceppitelli or Santon at high TAM?
I would lean towards Ceppitelli if so.
Honorable mentions to Luca Ferrone and Carlo Pelagatti as strictly rotational options.

So just to make sure I didn't miss anything after that very disappointing draw Saturday night...and getting only 1 point out of our easy 3 game home stretch against 3 very bad teams depleted with injuries and 2 flew across the country, and one even sent their reserve team against us....we gave up another 2 goals at home and now have not got a clean sheet in 27 league games in a row...have the worst goals against in the entire league (or second/third)..and are currently out of the playoffs despite being the highest payroll in the league...whew...yikes...but okay, where do we stand...
We dump our best player (by far) to a division rival for essentially nothing
We don't address the elephant in the room that is the Mikey Bradley DM spot that....we dumped his replacment and didn't sign one either to ensure Mikey will continue to always play 90 minutes no matter what
We don't address at all the right back position at all and have an academy player there that isn't a defender and we wonder why we leak goals...
We lose our best CB and don't replace him. We now have a trio of mavinga (who apparently wasn't good enough to start the majority of the games at the start), journeyman o'neil and a csl'er mcnaugton as our back three....the worst cb trio in all of mls by far...expect the many more goals against and no clean sheets to continue..
Our "transformational" signings that were promised haven't happened and its a week into the windwo...and we play again tonight without Insigne.....
Do I have all this right?
And yes, the club is shilling jacked up season tickets for next year already on the basis of us missing the playoffs again this year?
Yes, I am a glass is half empty kind of guy...I don't believe the bs the argos president manning spews as he created this mess...and coach daddy who made the idiotic decision to go with no full backs and ridiculous subs that cost us like the other night doesn't inspire any confidence...even with his magical "system"....I dont see much of a system....I see chaos...
But oh well, did I miss anything?
Anyways, lets win tonight. If we lose yet again and then in Montreal, Manning better be gone...and the Bradley's I'll give them to end of season, and both need to be gone as well, they have all done enough damage already.
Vamos!
