I’d put DeRo ahead of Benteke tbh
@jalapinho.bsky.social summarized Benteke’s impact well. He stuck the landing with this sentence “But for years, one man carried the weight of the world. And that alone secures Christian Benteke’s place in DC United history.”
It was an absolute joy to watch him play in DC. He was absolute class.
It was an absolute joy to watch him play in DC. He was absolute class.
For three turbulent seasons, Christian Benteke didn’t just lead the line for D.C. United — he carried the entire attack on his back. Goals, grit, and professionalism in the club’s darkest stretch. An era ends.

MLS Pressure. Fans need to pressure MLS. Expansion is nearly over, if it isn’t already. They won’t be able to afford to have teams so ineptly managed. If they want to grow MLS, they can’t have one of the biggest soccer markets be a complete dumpster fire.

Best player? Idk he’s a one trick pony who needs quality around him to do more and better tricks. If the club is serious about “rebuilding” they’ll have to sign quality to make the club better or help Benteke be successful. Either way it’ll cost money too do both.
If Benteke isn't attached to living in DC, why would he re-sign with DC United at a lower, non-DP salary when he could get that same $ from an MLS team that might win something next year?
Sure looks like DC United are about to lose their best player.

As expected, D.C. United declines Christian Benteke’s contract option, making him a free agent, but “we remain in discussions regarding a potential return.”
DCU also declines options on Kristian Fletcher, Randall Leal, Derek Dodson and Rida Zouhir but in talks with Fletcher.

2024-2025 offseason in hindsight looks a lot worse now lol. The brain trust really screwed the pooch this time around. They undid everything only to do everything again and leave it a lot worse.
But the only thing important here is where they go to play their preseason.

As for the rest of the roster decisions, unfortunately they are all on the margins (except Pirani). DCU is locked into the contracts they'd love to move on from (Enow, Peltola, Herrera, Kim, Bartlett)

The right fan pressure would help..
Here's what depresses me most:
I see no realistic scenario where this ownership group sells.
Like, what would it take for them to walk away?
Don't say, fan pressure because they seem to just ignore that.

D.C. United has done it! They've secured the Wooden Spoon as the worst team in MLS in 2025!
This is a trophy secured by a club culture set from the top down.
With the entire scouting department let go by a new Managing Director, we may be witnessing a true dynasty forming in D.C.

It’s finally over, thank you merciful God.
We are officially the very worst team in MLS. NO one can take that away from us. One more show on Monday and then Ted and Jon will go sit in the woods for months in silence.

It’s safe to say DC has the most loses since this ownership took control.
Nine-man D.C. shows character in the second half against drab Charlotte and loses by just the one goal.
United finishes 2-8-7 at home for 13 of possible 51 points.
The past two years DCU is 6-16-12 at Audi Field (30 of 102 points).

I think US pro/rel zealots are a scourge, completely divorced from economic reality, but damned if DC United isn't the poster child supporting their arguments.

It depends how DC is set up to play next year? Can’t have a possession base team with Benteke and can’t have a BennyBall esque team and resort Benteke to a Pajoy like forward(Defensive forward).
Let's say that United does sign some amazing attacking talent in the offseason. It can be a 10, a winger, a striker, whatever. Who in your opinion might be the current player to benefit most? Benteke? Pirani? Peglow? Stroud? Hopkins? Barraza?

#DCU is really missing Hopkins. His incredible work ethic, ground coverage, and front press really helps disrupt teams. Philly controlling the middle of the field and breezing past their midfield and defense.
