Yes. I said it was tough. It's not like knee injuries reoccur often.

but wasnt he always never consistent with playing time because he kept getting a knock here and there. so he didnt really form a rhythm
 
Dome tells AS "we've got our needs more or less covered, we think we've got a pretty complete team," but they're thinking about signing some "interesting players."

"It's not that we've ruled out bringing in a big name, but it's tricky to replace a guy who had everything. We're working patiently, searching for the best players for what we want."

Our roster as it stands, is not that bad. Sure we need a couple pieces, but the outlook on here is much gloomier than it should be.

We've only had 4 players who had scored 10+ goals. David Villa has done it in all four seasons, he was the leading goalscorer by at least +3 in all seasons.

Otherwise Frank Lampard (12, 2016); Jack Harrison (10, 2017); Ismael-Tajouri-Shradi (11, 2018). You can't win without scoring goals. I don't think Tajouri-Shradi, Berget, Castellanos, Lewis, Moralez will make up Villa's loss.

You’re still expecting Berget to be here come training camp?

I do think that without Villa goals will still come from somewhere. There waws that period during this season where we were playing pretty well without Villa, so maybe the team took that into account when thinking about who to sign this offseason.

If they really do mostly stand pat, I can't help but stand in awe at the sheer ballsiness of it. Reyna and Torrent just own this now. Hell, they even retroactively bought last season's collapse.
Did you defend Dome by saying he needed an opportunity to overhaul the roster between seasons? Dome says thanks, and

Did you explain how the team needed extra time to learn a new system? Dome says, fuck that, we're starting camp later than everyone else. Who needs time to develop? Not us. Thanks guys:
