So he thinks he's gonna get someone to give him close to $1m or more? damn. I was thinking 750 would have kept him...
(obv we don't know what san jose or whoever is offering him yet so this is still speculation)

do you know the ballpark amount the Sounders offered Rothrock that he turned down? I've only seen rumors on that

the fact that you wrote "probably" in there is why I'm uneasy.

2 years is wild. Interesting justification for this overspend for a backup GK especially if Rothrock signs elsewhere due to cap concerns...

also anyone actually paying these prices for this kind of group stage game 6+ months in advance is nuts lol.

I was really hoping to be able to see at least a couple of the actual contenders either here in Seattle or via an easy trip to Vancouver or California, but now I'm just wondering if I can somehow seriously swing a trip to the northeast for some games and not go broke lol.

the uninspiring matchups are pretty much the entire group stage due to the 48 team cup, but damn the talent pool that's gonna be in Seattle (& the whole west coast tbf) is really disappointing, compared to the rest of the country.

Definitely not invincible, but they've also looked different and better with starting lineup changes in the past 2 months than they did up through leagues cup. Their form rn is definitely better.

this was so bizarre, gm essentially shutting down the idea that he should be concerned about a highly talented player entering the final yr of his contract, esp when their negotiations for a new contract haven't gone anywhere. Unless he knows they're about to cash in with a sale?
