I'm not taking my pitchfork out like others are but Marsch needs to be upfront and acknowledge the fact that they fucked up this offseason.

I'm not all that surprised. He probably wants to play and now that the 2 striker formation has been jettisoned, that's not going to happen. Seems like they're doing him a favor and letting him try to get a full preseason in with his new club.

Ridiculous. Had hopes for this guy, and thought he showed well in limited minutes. Can't believe Veron gets 2+ seasons to impress but Gulbrandsen's out less than halfway through this shit campaign.

I guess maybe that shit about his being about to leave whenever he wanted wasn't too far off-base after all.

 

Not even really much of a loss tbh I think Veron can cover just fine for BWP.

Think it's pretty obvious he asked out.  He knows he's never going to play.  Makes no sense for anyone with any proven success to come here as a striker.  BWP is always going to start.

 

Use Veron as the backup to BWP and sign a serious outside guy.  

 

Hopefully we re-gained some cap space.  THat's the most important thing.

clears the way for Brandon Allen!!

 

exactly - let the guy go where he can play.  had potential overall and for the 4triple2. Didn't work out but it happens.  Better to let him go now.

Sign the guy from Nice AND sign a 700K winger. 


Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

He was on loan, he was never staying anyway. We did this clear up cap space. New signings soon.

Exactly.   Should see a 300k+ CB and hopefully a 700+K right winger.

Remember when it was claimed in the Euro press that he has an out in the summer, and RB denied it?

 

The loan is for the full MLS season and does not include an out for the player to leave this summer to return to Salzburg, so says a team spokesman to Metro.

 

HA HA HA HA HA

Good on them give the change in system...but as usual we look silly.  Freeing up an international spot is critical for us though. Wonder what his cap hit is since he wasn't here for more than a couple months.

Ahh, forgot about the International spot.  That is the biggest factor of this.  We have two now, correct?

 

Needed for centerback and hopefully an outside mid. 

 

 

And not exactly hoping Allen gets minutes. Don't think he's gonna be a useful MLS player.  Big man who doesn't play big at all, a nice passer of the ball, and basically no speed.
