Muyl isn't Messi
Disagree.
Muyl isn't Messi
If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Muyl was good & sometimes great but I am not really sorry that he was traded. If his replacement is as good then I will be Happy. If it is a bust then just really sad.
I don't have an issue with moving theses Academy players on if they're not going to be part of the Starting XI. Muyl was blocking minutes from guys like Fernandez and Stroud, both of which probably have a higher ceiling at this point, and I doubt either is going to be a huge drop-off in quality. And, for all we know, Thelwell may already rate those two ahead of Muyl.

plus it looks like the majority of our better prospects (Calrk, Lacava, Toure) if we play this 4-2-2-2 also play the same position. they need the same opportunity to earn time like alex had
Muyl grew on me over the course of his tenure here. Good motor, decent swiss army knife type bench player for MLS. That said, we have a glut of players at a similar level and I don't mind Thelwell coming in and using some as trade pieces to build the team in his image.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but man wouldn't it be amazing if we were moving Muyl to bring in someone from the org with a ceiling higher than MLS back-up? That's where I see the ceiling for both Omir and Stroud right now, Omir especially having had a chance to prove himself plenty.

Agree on the first point.
I think Omir has a high ceiling. At this point, Muyl is what he is. Omir is only 21 and looks like he's had an issue with adjusting to the physicality of MLS. If he can get past that, I think he has a chance to be better than a backup.
Haven't seen enough of Stroud make any judgements.
Oddly enough same as Dax trade and he is joining DaxI dont mind trading anyone...if it makes the team better.
I dont see how this makes us better.
If it was simply to free up an international spot Id argue there are guys on the international list that dont need to be here.
International and DP spots should be used on difference makers.
Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

Clears space for Omir Stroud and Mines who are younger
Plus others next year
In the 2nd 2 its Kaku Valot Omir Stroud Mibes Rza even Royer - thats 3 deep
RZA is gone next year and then Clark LaCava possible for next 1-2 years
All things considered I would rather keep Muyl than Rza Omir Mines or Stroud...just to name a few.

100% agreed. Moving Dax to make room for the next man up made sense because Adams was clearly an elite talent. Moving Muyl for the likes of the current RB2 group is a totally different story, none of those guys have shown even a flash of the potential Adams had.
Thelwell impressing me. Run the team with conviction. If you're wrong, whatever but at least make things in your image. I didn't hate Muyl, but as the league gets better and better, someone not very athletic such as him I believe becomes a bigger liability. Guys who work hard though are valuable so that hurts.
Muyl was nothing more than a bench scrub, but how is getting rid of him and not actually getting an upgrade in return is impressive? Now if he uses that slot for a good DP, that's a different story, but losing a player with no better one back is not that impressive.
