    Raps gave up their franchise player for the Klaw (on the final year of his contract)....there must have been more we could have got in return other than $150k

    Plus I think they want this done fast. Sure you could drag out a few weeks of dealing for the best offer but it could screw your own targets (see Man United every summer window).

    Bring on Belotti!

    Could you imagine this lineup?

    Insigne -- Belotti -- Bernardeschi

    Osorio Bradley MAK

    Criscito - O'Neil - Mavinga - ?

    And I think the Italian might be Belotti. Nothing official with Monaco and AFAIK no “here we go” yet.
    Actually, this could make a lot of sense. Akinola also counts as domestic for a US-based team.

    Just went to see if Ayo is following the Rapids. Turns out, no. He does follow basically every Instagram 'model' known to man though.

    All these rumours are great, but the team needs a backline leader more than anything else. Not a peep about defenders.

    Nothing that happened today has addressed any of the holes we had at the start of the day. Let’s see what else goes down.

    Bernardeschi is a good winger and defends diligently which is already a big step up.

    If MAK comes that's another big hole filled.i think after that the biggest need is for a CB

    It depends where Criscito ends up. We desperately need fullbacks, more so than CB.

    I would say that goals or no, our wingers are definitely better now than they were.

    Outside of a brief period where we vastly outperformed our xg we have been absolutely toothless. Hopefully that changes.

    MAK should improve our midfield.

    Criscitio is probably the CB we needed. A clam assured presence.

    Replacing our best attacking player. Will be interesting to see how that goes. MAK would be great. I hope that happens.

    I think we need a fullback or wingback too depending on how Bob wants to use that position.

    Agree with the above. This is all really fun, but the backline remains a mess.

    We need a starting right back at the bare minimum, and if Salcedo goes we'll need another centre back or left back as well.

    Insigne and all the fire power in the world won't matter if we keep losing.

    We will sign a full back. One of the 3-4 will be a LB. I have faith this will get done.

    This is quickly becoming the house that Bob built.

    Looking back at the turd pile that finished last year, and seeing what we look like already it is night and day.

    Are we better? Only time will tell.

    I think we will definitely be able to play Bradley ball more consistently.

    If all the pieces talked about come in & the pieces said to be leaving go, we would need 2 decent quality CB's, a RB & a quality GK.

    I think we have to temper all this movement with the understanding that

    a) some of the parts coming in or currently working well may not work well in 2022 or 2023

    b) this was always going to be 3 windows to success - I suspect the defence doesn't get resolved until next January

    he is our best but doesnt fit in the way bob is trying to play, we sacrifice a lot defensively.

    Should be a big upgrade because Poz is neither a two way mid nor a responsible right winger. Bradley had been asking him to play both of those roles. And now we seem to have found that in Berna and MAK.

    I love Pozuelo, btw, but I didn’t like seeing him miscast. This was inevitable. Good it’s someone BB knows how to work with.

    Question is though, yes, what do we give up to get MAK? I think he’s been less than stellar with Colorado though seemed to help them more than quite a bit.

    Yeh, I don't think so.

    That article indicates Insigne is going to get 20 million a year.....


    Mind you though...imagine if it happened what our defence could be for the next 3 years.

    Sounds reasonable. Throw in Shaff as well and let Petrasso play that role when needed.

    Yeah I know, I get it. We lose a bit of something too though.

    IMHO, at least a seasoned R-FB and a seasoned CB-R.

    I am good with it being from within MLS, and yes even non SerieA European.
    However, given the understanding that Kaye is TAM?
    Then I suspect and in keeping with the latest rumours, any CB-R may be a DP and SerieA Italian; likely Romagnoli.
    Latest internet chatter... paraphrasing... 'Lazio deal fell through, possible issues dealing with the Raiola clan; moving on to England'.
    Perhaps it's MLS for EPL. Suspect TFC/MLS can offer better broth for his soup order.
    There may also be a couple of SerieA goalkeeper options available and worth the consideration; if the price is right.

    Never consider Juarez a big spending Liga MX team, but they are supposedly the team after Salcedo.

    But no I have 0 info, and you’d laugh at how far removed from me this “source” is

    I posted a few months ago what they told me (it was outlandish things like “we had a deal for dayne st Clair in the summer but westberg refused to backup a kid”) and sort of got ridiculed (maybe fairly)

    Because lets be honest, sounds ridiculous,

    I’ll always post what he hears because he does legitimately know people who know things, sometimes it’s tough to know how much of it is his own spin… but hey it’s kinda fun, and even more fun when it comes true

    Sad to see Poz go.
    Was just listening to extra time podcast and they said Poz got into a screaming match with Stalteri.. someone said there was more to it above.
