#1394516 Adams to Arsenal Rumor - Possible $14M Fee to RBNY

Posted by Giants3b on 17 November 2021 - 07:37 PM

rough projection in around hundred mil between land and building costs. Believe revs were 35 mil and its about half the acres

Thanks, I'm going to keep an eye out if a total price tag comes out so I can link it whenever someone lazily claims "lack of investment". Hard to purchase 80 acres of land in Morris County build out seven full sized fields, four 7v7 fields, a half field indoor facility on a shoestring budget.




#1381185 Davis on the trading block?

Posted by Giants3b on 06 April 2021 - 06:27 PM

Would be sad to see Sean go. He's kind of a regressed in a weird way after his first three seasons to become a middling midfielder. Just not quick enough to cover a lot of ground and, to the eye, not killer enough with a long pass.

He's very good at maintaining possession and transitioning out of the defending phase, but I feel like that's a limited toolset.

I like Sean a lot, I think with the right tactics he can shine. Just seems like as of late, he hasn't been the asset I thought he'd become in back in 2016.




#1380104 Cameron Harper signed from Celtic

I'm excited to see someone with seemingly very high upside get signed, just not sure how excited I should be




#1379774 Youba Diarra on loan from Salzburg

These moves suck. Now that Bragatino is in Serie A, RB global has kind of lost interest, right?


#1360250 New 2020 RBNY Jersey - Black

Posted by Giants3b on 29 January 2020 - 04:42 PM

Were not DC United

Typical tone deafness

This is a nod to Metro, some people in this fan base will just never be happy. There's plenty of legitimate things to be upset about, but being upset about a Metro jersey being too similar to a DCU jersey is obtuse.




#1357634 Has the team ever been booed on opening day?

This is some really great fandom. 




#1355941 Lade retires

Posted by Giants3b on 23 October 2019 - 09:21 AM

Armas Was part of a SS winning team too LMAOROFL

He was by all measures a great assistant, some people can't make the jump to manager. Easy as that.




#1355930 Lade retires

Posted by Giants3b on 23 October 2019 - 08:58 AM

Let's not make Lade into a hero. Longevity does not equal quality. He was a borderline MLS 2.0 role player that - when he was on the field - teams regularly targeted as an obvious weak spot.

But don't worry, if you want to deify Lade, you've got a younger, slightly taller, slightly worse option in Buckmaster still on the roster today.

Lade was a nice outside back option for a number of years and busted his ass every time he was out there on the field. He was part of the incredible culture that won three shields. It's shameful that you can't recognize a respectable career of someone who exemplifies the part of this organization that's actually admirable.

When are we getting a Taxi statue outside RBA?




#1326771 Louis Nganioni on Trial

Posted by Giants3b on 30 May 2018 - 04:44 PM

 

Law of averages after Palsson, Roben Bover, Brian Neilson, Obekop.

I thought Bover actually had something going. But what do I know, if I ran things we'd still have a CB pairing containing Tyler Ruthven.




#1320840 Duncan Signed, Moreno Waived

Posted by Giants3b on 09 March 2018 - 06:21 PM

I'm excited about this. Seeing academy kids come back makes me feel warm inside.




#1320779 What is Muyl good at?

Posted by Giants3b on 08 March 2018 - 04:11 PM

  • Friendship
  • Casual dinner conversation
  • Being a wingman
  • Acting as a positive role model
  • Pressing in a high pressure defensive scheme
  • Providing really interesting fusion recipes
  • Hosting guests
  • Maybe juggling



#1319984 Felipe for Tim Parker (NOT a rumor)

Posted by Giants3b on 02 March 2018 - 03:09 PM

Does that mean for one year, and we get it back?

We get it back in 2019. Not every team has an extra permanent international slot ;)




#1319892 Felipe for Tim Parker (NOT a rumor)

Posted by Giants3b on 02 March 2018 - 10:03 AM

To throw your hands up in the air and declare the Sacha trade a failure after barely seeing either player play 90 minutes is incredible. Rivas is 23 and Redding is 21, either of them are barely the players they can potentially be.




#1319851 Felipe for Tim Parker (NOT a rumor)

Posted by Giants3b on 01 March 2018 - 11:56 PM

Good points there. I think the fact Redding sucked forced this move, and Rivas appears to be a significant downgrade from Gonzalo. There is a reason why these two guys were bench players for shitty Orlando team. They are young though and Sacha was old.


Remember, those two guys are hardly developed. Our system turned Aaron Long, a recycled USL player, into a damn good starting CB.
