Remember: Per Fizzer, tactics are a crutch. #rctid
Just saw the Instagram video of Nevilleβs βeverybodyβs saying the same thing today, but what sets us apart is our work, our trust, our attitude, our togetherness, our spiritβ speech.
What sets us apart, indeed, is our ability to string every soccer manager cliche into a single sentence. #RCTID

Didnβt Tommy Scoops say on Soccerwise the other day a few MLS teams inquired about Ayala and Miami was the only one to make an actual offer when told he wasnβt going to sign an extension?
It's entirely plausible that $2M from Miami was the best offer they could have received. That's rough if true, and negligent if false. #RCTID

The first 14 matches (especially the first 10) is not an easy stretch by any means; 8 of 14 are on the road; no da Costa until April; no Jona until July. Phil is in his lame duck season but if the club starts slow what are the chances a change is made at the World Cup break?

The only incoming moves that have happened are Bye and re-signing Hunter Sulte and Eric Miller. Max posted on his Instagram he was leaving PDX almost immediately after the playoffs. There were a couple of rumors floating around (young Argentine winger, young Polish d-mid) but nothing substantial.

Optimistic with some hedging: βpercolatingβ and βweβll see.β
Also said something about β2-3 movesβ happening βa week or twoβ after the B of A announcement. That was 22 days ago.

Timbers owner Merritt Paulson stresses a deal like this is momentous on a sporting front:
βIf we want us to continue to go after good players - This is a monumental partnership for that.β
Paulson mentions 2-3 moves are percolating in the next week or so. #RCTID

Not quite sure. Misunderstanding that this is MLS and teams canβt sign starting level RBs at the 3 deep? Confusing Eric with Kamal? Itβs so weird. But also: FB and Reddit arenβt great places.

Yet all sorts of people on different social media platforms are quite upset over this signing. The level of outrage does not make sense.

PTFC asking for nearly Evander money for Antony seems outlandish. But Ned was able to extract $6m out of Fluminense for Santi soβ¦ Β―\_(γ)_/Β― #rctid
