Sign me up for that uncertainty. Better than not having aspirations to win a MLS cup and strive for mediocrity. I have high hope for these signings, but if they don’t work, I’ll be just as disappointed if the club doesn’t try again with these type of signings

24 goals in 36 games in the polish 1st division, garnering the player of the year award last year and getting rewarded with a transfer to Legia. His current season is also going well - could be a really solid under-the-radar addition if we can negotiate a deal that’ll fit under our cap.

Another beautiful assist by Lewis...

Like Giovinco, he has tattoo arm sleeves and I’ve seen plenty pictures of him sticking out his tongue. At least he’ll look the part. Can he do FKs tho?

Although it makes a lot more sense from a business standpoint, I find myself cheering our “own” players and getting behind their development as opposed to a sign and loan, even though it’s likely the player will move on anyways if he produces well enough. I guess it’s the idea that the player...

But then you have players like David Villa playing on a DP contract in that age range. It’s a smart business move by Toronto (although I’m shocked by the transfer fee), but Villa shows us that age is just a number when you’re motivated. Can’t blame either side with Giovinco’s departure, but...

If this is true, it’ll be the biggest transfer fee we’ll have ever paid. Player aside, it gives me a bit of comfort to finally see our ownership investing this type of money on young talent and trusting their scouting network. Now about the player, it’s definitely a flyer. Yes, we could’ve...

Perhaps what may ease many minds would be if Torino snatched him up, have him sit on the bench for a year, then we dive in with the same offer. Everyone will call him the next Josef Martinez

At the same time, you look at the other names and wish he could have provided the same production as some of the others

Wouldn’t be the worst use of a DP spot. I’d argue Herrera’s replacement is just as important as Villa’s. If Herrera returns, coupling with Park’s rumored loan acquisition, all of a sudden the midfield is quite fearsome (and young) Also opens up the possibility to splash money (although not DP...

Agreed 100%. The Japanese are such a fun team to watch and never gives up. Big fan of Hiroki Sakai and Yuya Osako this tournament. Crank up our scouting in Asia.

Importance of a strong presence of a manager is invaluable. Players perk up when the likes of PV and Martino are on the other end of the call. Great read. Glad to have you on this side of the Atlantic, Alex. Glad to see your family adjusting to life well here.

Props to the ATL crowd. Can’t wait for us to go back next season or even in the playoffs. I believe it was around the 80th minute where the entire crowd put up their flashlights. What a sight.

Not sure what our cap situation is like, but I think it’s a bit of a reach to say it’ll be a waste of a DP if he comes off the bench starting the season. As a young DP, we have extra flexibility to purchase players such as Ofori. I think a combination of immediate impact DPs and investment in...

Love the investment in youth, but obviously a big gamble on NYCFC’s part. Vieira loves his wingers, and I think we have (at the moment) 3 exciting young wingers that any team would love to have. I could see the team adding one more winger through the draft once again for the 4th straight year...

They would suddenly have a very potent midfield with Piatti and Blerim along with Wesley. Talk about getting the biggest bang for your buck out of your DPs.

100% agree. He certainly wasn't the first or second player named when fans remembered portlands timber run, but he so instrumental and opened up the space for players such as Valeri to operate. He was sorely missed by timber fans when he left. Obviously, I think we all envision him playing the...

I wonder if eventually a Norwegian team, or whichever international team that signs Mix to a deal, their fan forums will ask the same questions we're asking about Maxi: He must be talented because he featured prominently for United States but: 1. Why was he benched for 3 seasons? 2. Why did a...

Not sure what his salary is like, but we did not give up much at all to get his rights from the Timbers for a player of his caliber. Man, he's exactly what we needed, a MLS veteran and someone who took his team to the cup. I see him as our versatile player making spot starts at different...
