He's playing ball cuz he wants the latest F1 scoops.

Don't agree with "not a deficient offseason" (we'll see if the RB and GK will start, and a U17 LB is nice but hardly guaranteed to contribute this year).
But Dyer has a point that it's a bit weird if people are simultaneously angry about 1) not signing players AND 2) Armas not explicitly saying we can win MLS Cup. Not sure how many such people there are, mind you.
But you can be angry about 1) not signing players AND 2) not having a team that is capable of winning MLS Cup.

Certainly, that would make sense; but it's not what Dyer is questioning/arguing against.But you can be angry about 1) not signing players AND 2) not having a team that is capable of winning MLS Cup.
hes saying you cant be angry at a coach because the coach agrees with you that he doesn't have the talent to win the Cup (though Armas doesnt really say that, he just said that it isn't what they are focused on at the moment).Certainly, that would make sense; but it's not what Dyer is questioning/arguing against.

I don't think its weird at all, you'll find conflicting opinions on almost every topic in the world if you browse social media for a bit. And this whole exchange was set up to be a shit show from the start. You have Armas doing his best to express confidence in his players, despite having no immediate improvements to the roster. Then you have fans who are rabid to blame him for the lack of money spent, which isn't even his job at the end of the day.
Dyer has always been a fan of Armas, I think we can expect him to stick up for him by now. But in my opinion his assessment of our off-season is off the mark. Gotta try a little harder than this in MLS these days.
Lost on me initially was Dyers implication that Egbo is an upgrade at RB, as good or better than Murillo. I assumed him to be more of a depth option, competition for Duncan, more than an obvious upgrade. Would be nice if that were actually the case. Still have nothing resembling a replacement for Taxi at LB, and still missing that all-important #9. I admittedly don't understand the triple deuce formation well enough to assess our gaps there.

I sorta see what Dyer is saying but its not like we are ATL or even Miami spendin$ bringing in young talent.Lost on me initially was Dyers implication that Egbo is an upgrade at RB, as good or better than Murillo.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.
It feels like they are done signing players.
Thelwell has gone MIA, Hamlett is siting around doing nothing and Armas has started his rah-rah routine with the current group.
The New York Red Bulls previously kicked around Major League Soccer as the MetroStars with limited success. But after transforming under a new banner in 2005, the Red Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. The club has made leaps of progress since its previous incarnation and now has its focus on bringing the league title to New York.

We signed a backup GK and a backup RB. Fantastic offseason.
