Zero chance I am getting rid of Lati. So much versatility providing cover at so many spots. JDS will be difficult to move on from with his contract. On a 4-year deal. I don't mind keeping Wilson if the intention is to just bring in another backup to Collins. But if you are looking to push...

Needs to pound the table for Vik at £100m

My latest MLS suggestion......Julián Carranza. His contract expires this winter and has been purposely letting it run down. Offers came in January from Werder Bremen, Ipswich, and Mainz, but he declined. Not sure if he just didn't fancy those clubs or if he is just dead set on having freedom of...

Unless you plan on spending £10m, Portland isn't letting him go.

I think you are falling into the trap of comparing MLS and USL with the long-standing and developed leagues in Europe's top 5 leagues. Against that comparison, both still have a long way to go. Instead, take a step back and compare MLS / USL against itself from a decade ago. The quality of MLS...

Are we going to take the world by storm? NO Is the US getting objectively better due to significant investments in academy structures across the country in the last decade? YES This is the first generation to feature many players who came out as youngsters from these modern football...

Stepping in to provide some context for the forum. There were hardly any fans for the US game because it was scheduled back-to-back with the other semifinal Mexico v. Panama. They played in the same stadium immediately after. A vast majority of tickets were held by Mexican fans who didn't...

Impossible to know. There would be a massive amount of squad turnover. Guessing from the current squad would be a fool's errand. Plus, Doug could look to sell. Who knows what new ownership would do.

Diego Luna..............No, not Cassian Andor. Diego Luna, the footballer, is a 20 year old kid playing with Real Salt Lake. Loads of talent and confidence. Already has his first USMNT cap. Will be a focal piece of the U23 squad competing in Paris this summer. He is stepping into a larger...

If you actually want an out-of-contract ex-MLS player for the stretch run. Jack Price would be your call. Back home in Shrewsbury and plays the #6 / #8. Coming off a knee injury though and would need a few weeks to get match fitness up enough to play a sub role...

Not worth it. He was bad for DC United and they dropped him. Hasn't played in over a year. Plus, he just was convicted of using a dead person's handicap pass.

Might want to check the date on that tweet

He saw that the McGuire to Blackburn deal was back on.

Haji was never first-choice for the senior team. He snuck into the World Cup roster because Ricardo Pepi was in unbelievably bad form and Daryl Dike was injured. With Florian Balogun committed, it makes the depth chart even a little harder to climb. Wright's recent form would help push him up...

Giakoumakis is awesome. Hit the ground running with Atlanta. Very real chance he wins the Golden Boot this year. But he still under contract for 3 more years, is making £32,000/wk, and Atlanta has zero incentive to sell. He is going to be the face of that club when they eventually sell Almada...

Nothing linking him to Cov, but I do wonder what the staff thinks of Duncan McGuire. Reported offers over the last month from Wednesday, Blackburn, and a couple of continental clubs as well. Was excellent in his first MLS season. Great in-the-box movement and classic poacher #9. Play style...

MY GOD TORP!!!!!

One bad apple...........spoils the bunch

Holy hell. Going after a player like that is at a whole other level of recruitment. Exciting times

Heck, even as an American, we hadn't seen too much of Haji. Going to a non-ECL Turkish team will do that to you. He snuck into the UMSNT striker pool extremely late in the cycle based on injury to Daryl Dike and an extreme lack of form for Ricardo Pepi. Even then, there were plenty of us who...
