MLS Thread: 2020 Edition

Come the f*** on. Another shitty white kit

Everything this league does now is generic and unimaginative.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It’s not a much better market. Even though the Republic aren’t an MLS team they are very popular here. Also they already said it’s not going to effect the Sac bid.

I also think it's better to have the teams spread out in California. There's not a team for the central part of the state. Southern California has two teams, even if they are both LA teams.

Sao Paulo has sold Brenner to Cincinnati FC for 18m dollars. The biggest deal between MLS and an SA club.

Cincy had all this excitement and good will coming into the league. Then decided to but a shit product on the field for 2 years. Guess this is a good sign they are spending money? Though odd they do it all at once? When we might not have fans for a while longer?

Also a bit odd to make that big of signing when the owners are threatening to lock out because they don't want to pay the players

All the main reporters are saying there's nothing to really worry about, and it'll get done.

They're adding Pity Martinez too apparently. Should put them in playoff contention easily.

Pity isn’t coming. Already said he wasn’t.

Really? Bc I saw on Twitter a few hours ago that Cincy is trying to move up to the top allocation spot to get him.

I saw Instagram like an hour ago Pity said it’s not happening.

Oh I'm not worried about it, they can't afford to not have a season. Just find it a bit ironic that the owners want the players to take the pay cut and then an owner, who hasn't shown a willingness to spend big since entering the league, drop 18 million on a player

Ah got it - was really looking forward to seeing that new look team. Perhaps Cincy will still nab another good atacking talent to complement Brenner (assuming Locadia is gone).

New stadium, need to make a splash I guess.

What can you guys tell me about Haji Wright. He is close to sign with my team, Malmo FF.

Big body, 6'4 with good finishing ability, but don't expect him to dribble through defenses. Tied for 2nd in goal scoring in the Danish Superliga. Came up through Schalke, but Bundesliga was a step too far. Still 22 years old so there's room for growth

Because there are no cities in central California that MLS would be interested in.

I read that his team didn't accept Malmo's first offer. Do you think Malmo's going to make another offer?

The price is said to be 4 million euro which is too much for us. We where hoping to get him for 2 million euro. So deal is probaly off. Only team in Scandinavia that can pay that much is FCK.

Get rid of the draft. It makes zero sense for MLS.

You don't think Fresno United, Bakersfield FC, or Real Modesto United FC would be attractive for the league?

For Meth League Soccer? Yes.

For Major League Soccer? No.

Hey, the cigarette stain-colored kits would be a nice change of pace as well!
