2018 Offseason Thread

Medina's father, Francisco, told ABC Cardinal: "The MLS has grown a lot. If he leaves, he will go to New York City for a year and then he will see if Manchester City takes him.

"The United States club had several good players like Andrea Pirlo; I understand that the president of the City is handling it."​

"ONLY DETAILS ARE MISSING"
RENATO BITTAR, REPRESENTATIVE OF JESUS MEDINA, EXPLAINED TO THE 730AM THAT "ONLY MISSING DETAILS" TO CLOSE THE TRANSFER OF THE FREE FLYER TO NEW YORK CITY. THE INTERVIEWEE ALSO COMMENTED THAT THE GOAL OF THE PLAYER IS GUARDIOLA'S MANCHESTER.

"IT IS NOT CLOSED YET, BUT ONLY A FEW DETAILS ARE MISSING," BITTAR BEGAN THE CARDINAL DEPORTIVO . "THIS TRANSFER IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP BECAUSE IT IS THE LARGEST GROUP IN THE WORLD," SAID THE REPRESENTATIVE.

THE BUSINESSMAN SAID THAT THEY ARE SEEING THE TRAVEL DATE OF THE PLAYER, BUT CONFIRMED THAT HE WILL PLAY FIRST IN THE NEW YORK CITY OF THE MLS . "THEN, IF THE GROUP HAS, THEY CAN GO TO ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE GROUP: TO MANCHESTER CITY, TO JAPAN, OR TO GIRONA IN SPAIN, FOR EXAMPLE. IMAGINE WHERE WE AIM, "BITTAR SLID.

MEDINA WOULD BE TRAINED IN NEW YORK BY FORMER FRENCH NATIONAL TEAM PLAYER PATRICK VIEIRA AND WILL HAVE THE ALBIRROJA EXECUTIONER IN 2010 AS HIS PARTNER: SPANISH INTERNATIONAL DAVID VILLA.

On a personal note, I unfollowed Mix Diskerud and Kwadwo Poku on Twitter this offseason. I've typically only follower players on our roster with the exception for those two.

I finally unfollowed them and am all in for 2018.

Did you burn your jerseys too?

I’m not judging, but it’s fascinating (not really) that you care what pics they post when they’re on the team and don’t care when they’re off it - if the content is interesting, it’s interesting no matter what club they kick around with.

Has it been announced that our pre-season training camp opens on January 22? Because that was part of one of the videos the club put out to welcome Medina. Only 23 days to go!

Yes, that is the league wide preseason starting date.
 
Anyone know what the news would be? I figure it would be the preseason schedule


To me the preseason schedule isn't a "bigger story" than DP news. I'm thinking it's one of three things and not all of them are good:

1. He means it very literally and they plan to publish a more indepth story about Medina
2. Our dreams come true and it's a story about even bigger transfer news that involves us getting an even bigger name
3. The big story is big news but in no way good news and he breaks the news that Harrison is being sold

Stadium announcement?
