Re: MLS 2017
Apparently I take this back. We traded 16th for Poku, then sold Poku for $750K, then used 1/2 that to buy the 3rd overall and the 16th back. MLS is very confusing.mister d wrote:Upsetting to learn our 1st went for Poku.
Re: MLS 2017
Our D is really, really bad and we had enough depth up front to usually be sitting someone decent and to give Patrick Mullins away at the deadline.P.D.X. wrote:Why?mister d wrote:Trading up for a forward is ... weird.
Re: MLS 2017
Yeah and DC United appreciated getting Mullins...D.C. just picked up another Terp in the 1st round (defender).mister d wrote:Our D is really, really bad and we had enough depth up front to usually be sitting someone decent and to give Patrick Mullins away at the deadline.P.D.X. wrote:Why?mister d wrote:Trading up for a forward is ... weird.
Re: MLS 2017
Talent in the MLS draft drops off pretty quickly after the first 5-10 picks, so unless there's a standout within there that fills a need it's more about grabbing value.

Re: MLS 2017
So Ian Harkes signs with DC United. Herman trophy winner playing for the same team is dad's played for. Wondered this was a first as the league is not that old..nope
Teal Bunbury's dad Alex Bunbury played for the KC Wizards (99-00). Teal played for KC for 3 years and now with the Revs.(And I did not realize Teal's Sister is the lead in the Fox baseball show "Pitch")
Konrad Warzycha's dad Robert Warzycha played for the Crew 96-2002. Konrad played for Sporting KC (1 game) Carolina Rail Hawks (1 game), and Columbus (13 games). Option not picked up when Robert lost the job as Crew's Head Coach
Other father son mlsers
Adolfo and Jose Adolfo Valencia (2012)

Re: MLS 2017
Concacaf Champions League changing back to cup format. Phase 1 are minnows playing for 1 slot. Phase 2 gets 4 USA team, 1 Canadian, 4 Mexican, 5 Central American teams, 1 Caribbean. Some overlap between qualifiers for Phase 2 and teams who will play in Phase 1 tournament.
Goal was to line up a little better with MLS season (so MLS does not go into knockout before regular season)

Re: MLS 2017
Mix Diskerud left of NYCFC's preseason roster.
Re: MLS 2017
Original Gooch (not that no fangled one at Sunderland) is training with the Union. Nobody is talking about him signing but rather staying in shape and ready to fill a need. How can this guy not get a contract somewhere? Bad MLS team at low wage NASL (maybe a gig that helps him move to coaching). At 34 he is old but not ancient. I mean Boswell is 32 and Beasley is also 34.
Re: MLS 2017
Moved like he was 34 when he was 24?
(Old USMNT players are about the only ones I can have knowledge of that spans more than 36 months.)

Re: MLS 2017
Well he must move okay because Union just signed him.

Rowdies ownership, St. Pete mayor, and members of the Ralph's Mob supporters group made their pitch today at MLS headquarters.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

Nat Borchers retires.
Or was it Tormund Giantsbane instead?

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: MLS 2017
That was inevitable. Would love to see him take a staff position at PTFC but he could just as easily go to RSL or Rapids.Steve of phpBB wrote:Nat Borchers retires.

Re: MLS 2017
Looks like he's sticking around PTFC in some capacity (sounds like broadcasting). Also Grabavoy is now our head of scouting.Steve of phpBB wrote:I don't see him wanting to come back here, with Kreis and Lagerway gone.P.D.X. wrote:That was inevitable.

We got all your dudes.
Re: MLS 2017
Great headline...
Wonder if he played with Cameroonian striker Yermas Dildo who was a big transfer rumor from January

Godammit. Can't beat the wlu!
Re: MLS 2017
So DC still does not have the final green light on the new stadium (could come tomorrow), but they do have a sponsor. Audi Field. Interesting last year DC's player salary's were just over 5 Million. The naming rights on the Jersey were $3 Million. I know DC will upgrade some players when they get the new field but the Audi thing and chunk of expansoin fees should turn around the finances (luxury boxes, parking, concessions...which DC does not get great deals at RFK) very quickly. Hope the owners put the $ into the guys on the field instead of just catching up on years and years of losses
Re: MLS 2017
A good pick-up. He was a real asset in our 2015 cup run with his possession and defensive abilities. Has a good cross and shot (natural left footer). He's not a burner and won't break down fullbacks on his own but he's great with combinations if he has good ball handlers around him. He's a natural left winger but can also play fullback (as he's been doing in Brazil for the past year). I'm pretty sure PTFC would've signed him if one of our starting CB's hadn't of gone down.mister d wrote:What's the word on Rodney Wallace, PDX?
Re: MLS 2017
Yeah that's some real cone defense but the attack is going to be good this year.

Roses are Reddish, Violets are risen, Nordic Messi makes a bad decision
