The problem is not that Etienne suddenly got better, or didn't, or will win MLS Cup, or will not. The problem is that a quality team found an important spot for him on the roster, and we cut him. The problem is ASSET MANAGEMENT, something Hamlett has no clue how to do.
Yep 100%
Look at Cbus spend 7 mill on a DP 10 and he scores or creates all 3 goals.

So which winger gets cut from this year's team to keep such an important piece on? Omir, maybe? You guys seem pretty high on Stroud and I'm taking Valot every day of the week.
Columbus is where they are right now because they have a better coach and a better top end of the roster than we do. I'm not buying an argument that finding a spot on the roster for Etienne is moving the needle much.

I'm not speaking for him but I think he's just saying if we get rid of guys we get rid of them for nothing.

Unlikely anyone wanted him (Cincy could have had him last year for a song), and probably was the same thing with Muyl. And yet, both became important pieces on teams that went farther than we did.
The problem with how both Etienne and Muyl were treated is that Hamlett waited until their value was at their lowest, when it became clear RBNY has no use for them... and then he gave them away.

we got 50k gam and an international spot for Muyl thats about a 200-300k gam value which is not bad for what he is. Etienne value was highest when we signed him he wasnt every going fetch massive dollars on a trade market. Its the same with Ben mines its cool to think you could maybe get a bit of value but its better to let them be free because likley you arent going to get much to make it really be worth itUnlikely anyone wanted him (Cincy could have had him last year for a song), and probably was the same thing with Muyl.

Remember when Hamlett waived Etienne Jr. then didnt even fill the roster spots (while not even coming close to budget). Then Etienne gets an assist on the game winning goal to knock us out of the playoffs and scores a goal in the MLS Cup?
This was the real crime here.
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.

we maxed out the reserve and supplemental roster that etienne was on so we did fill those roster slots. Its no different than Mac Kandji winning mls cupRemember when Hamlett waived Etienne Jr. then didnt even fill the roster spots (while not even coming close to budget).

At least we got Ballouchy for him... Which might be better than the nothing we got for Etienne.
