Coronel is terrible spending? I agree with mostly every other player on that list maybe sans Klimala who has been starved for good service.

Everyone sans Klimala, Coronel, and Diarra predated Thelwell/Struber. Diarra will be back in Salzburg, and the other two are first XI players on this team.

With how well he's progressed I'm good with Coronel at 512k, we're a little past the earlier days of MLS where you could go bargain shopping for keepers and just grab a pool keeper if needed without missing a beat.

 

Couldn't really care less about Klimala's salary, we already know he's a DP so 1.1M or 5M is all the same to me.

 

Just gotta hope that we have options to trim guys like Pendant, Jensen, Jorgensen, Egbo... Seen some suggest that those guys are still on guaranteed contract years in 2022 and moving them may not be simple.

Can you imagine the shitstorm we'd have put up if they cut Royer along with (or instead of) White?

Klimala is a DP, so whatever. Coronel has proven to be worth it.

 

What do Pendant, Jorgensen, Egbo, and Jensen have in common?

The real crazy thing is that we are second to last in spending and paying like 40% of the payroll to players who never even play.

Another interesting thing is Houston gave Tim Parker the bag.  He is the 2nd highest paid CB in the league.  Dodged a bullet there

The Athletic has a good breakdown of the rosters and we are third from the bottom in salary. However, we are near the top in MLS in terms of points per dollar. Another juicy tidbit, five of the top ten spending clubs are having disastrous seasons and missing the playoffs altogether.

Spending a lot of money is not guarantee of success

Of course, but spending little or none is unhelpful.
Some teams made major mid-season signings:

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

2nd to last in spending. what a fucking embarrassment. A big reason why there's nobody at the games and we are irrelevant in this market. It shows a lack of ambition and effort to win MLS Cup.

 

If we were a small market team with a not-so-rich owner, OK that's fine. But this is New York and we have have one of the richest owners in ALL OF FOOTBALL. There is no excuse for this. 

 

I cannot for the life of me understand some of these people on twitter who are such Red Bull apologists that they are actually defending this and bragging that we have a good Points Earned/Money Spent ratio. That's great, but why wouldn't you want Red Bull to spend more? Why would that be a bad thing?!!! And then they will point out Miami or Toronto as "proof" that spending money doesn't equal better results. "These teams spend their money in a shitty way, therefore we shouldn't spend money". Smh what a dumb argument.

Does it increase your chances at success? (You don't have to answer this, the answer is obvious)

We don't spend money, and the little money we spend we spend in a shitty way
