MLS Thread: Enter Zlatan

[Fro]

Minnesota taking Saied is a solid pick, hate losing him...did well when Higuain was out...

 

[Basement Cat]

Atlanta is easily making the playoffs if they get a competent D-Mid

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Atlanta is lethal upfront..

 

[Savant]

Jesus Christ, this might be a better signing than Almiron.

This is what happens when you have an owner willing to spend and a coach that has a pedigree that people want to play for.

They will lead the MLS in goals.

Galaxy trade their 1st round pick in the draft for the rights to Jermaine Jones.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Wonder if he'll be a DP

 

[DoyleG]

Giovinco just blamed the Argos fieldshare for his injuries the second half of the year, which is definitely going to help resolve the idiotic pettiness between the two fanbases.

I'd see it more as rich boy making excuses for not being able to perform.

Certainly a textbook case of the Napoleon complex.

Sure as hell hope not. I don't mind JJ, but I'd much rather have Juninho back at a much cheaper price.

At first, everyone was thinking ATL was gonna be a bust (myself included). NFL owner just looking to fill dates at his new arena. So far, they seem to be doing everything the "ideal" MLS team does. Nice new stadium, will be filled with fans, large supporters group, investing in local youth, investing in team with young DP's. They are making a fan out of me. Minny seems to be going the budget route so far....Lack of stadium for first year preventing much investment?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

The Galaxy are aware that LAFC starts being an actual, you know, thing next year, right? Why they feel this is the time to become cheap and stupid doesn't make a ton of sense.

There has been a very large influx of Argentine talent into MLS. They want to play for a guy who coached Messi. Can you blame them?

Minny is going a very traditional route. We will see if it pays off.

Are the Earthquakes management just perpetually asleep at the wheel? Have they made any moves yet?

Also, do not like leaving Marc Pelosi and Marvell Wynne unprotected for the draft.

Well the draft is over and those guys weren't picked if it makes you feel better.

The expand draft is kind of a joke. Half of the players taken webtbto other teams, and there are prearranged deals too.

That does make me feel better. Thank you for informing me of that. I'm a relatively new soccer fan so I don't really know where the best places are to follow the game and offseason transactions.

Any particular sites you might recommend?

If you have a twitter account I would suggest following Grant Wahl and Ives Galarcep. Both are pretty spot on when it comes to American soccer and MLS and soccer abroad as well.

 

[Brock Anton]

The MLS subreddit will pretty much keep you up on everything.

Both the guys ATL just got are Paraguayan right? Also, "traditional" as in don't sign anyone and hope for the best? AKA Fire/Earthquakes version of "traditional".

Bigsoccer is ok, not nearly as lively as HF is for hockey, but gets the job done. While not being as god awful on the eyes as Reddit.

 

[chasespace]

Orlando's Larin, Ramos, and Higuita all obtain green cards so they no longer count as international players. Hopefully Kreis uses that and the new TAM to rebuild that defense.

Meant to specify the Argentine league. My bad.

By traditional I just mean they are going for a slow build, as opposed to coming out guns blazing

 

[Brock Anton]

Rumors out of Argentina that an MLS club have bid $14 million on Dario Benedetto.

There seem to be some rumblings that it could be Seattle, but with Romero falling through for Atlanta, I wouldn't be shocked if it's them.

 

[Gecklund]

Shipp to Seattle should be great. Provides an attackibg option off the bench that they've been missing.

Dinamo Zagreb's Algerian striker Soudani is linked with the Sounders, not sure how realistic it is simply based off wages, not sure what the average non-DP international makes in MLS but Soudani is making like 1.0-1.2m euros a season there, and Dinamo do pay their players on time unlike most EE clubs He will also have interest from European clubs as well

So the rumor was true

 

[kingsboy11]

Juninho returns to MLS and joins the Fire on a 1 year loan with an option to buy. Greg Garza also loaned to Atlanta
