he also signed Muhammed Keita.  Joined July 2017, departed Feb 2018.  ~250k of salary

 

That was with Marsch's blessing though. Anything from mid 2018 is purely on Hamlett w/o Marsch's involvement, if you think about it. imo, Keita was deemed surplus to requirements once they went after Kaku's signature.

I liked Keita! His fitness was about on par with mine which wasn't ideal, he had some skill though

He spent 14 months without a club after leaving New York and is now employed in the Saudi second division.

A tale of the limits of talent without work.

Can we get Gio as the next coach?

His team nearly lost a 2 goal lead in 3 minutes, so he might be a perfect fit.

I stopped reading at 2 goal lead, that's enough of an improvement for me right now

Hey Armas had TWO 2-goal leads in our latest playoff game.

Ha ha, thanks. Yea, youre probably right that hell be back.

I honestly wouldnt mind the Moneyball approach if we had another Kaku level signing and a solid coach. This isnt baseball where the GM can give the manager a binder that says what to do in every imaginable situation. In soccer, you need a coach to realize his central midfield is getting overwhelmed and make a change. You need a coach that sees whipping in crosses to an undersized Fernandez isnt going to work. Nice guy, but Armas hasnt shown enough chops to coach at the MLS level.

Not saying much.

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

I don't know about that. About same possession, almost no chances created on either side. Thank god for Shawn Johnson. If anything him not playing Kaku made us less dangerous. Who knows, we have another Murillo/Buckmaster situation on our hands with Kaku/Stroud if this continues.
