Great scoop by @tombogert.bsky.social on the Paul arriola talks. I can add some more info: Dallas would be covering at least $1m of his salary and Sounders would need to sign him to an extension that brings his future cap hit down a ton. No word on what they’d be giving up. - ThreadSky

Is it surprising that the Sounders are raiding Dallas since they both have trained in Spain together for the past two years

If we’re going to raid fc Dallas I’d much rather have their number 9.

What waste of a move. Wasted money of salary. He doesn’t defend. His production went down and he is getting older. Sounders need to go younger with speed.

Given that he is a DP for Dallas, if they are buying down his salary, wouldn’t he be a TAM player with Seattle if this goes through?

His salary is ~1.7 mill so that would make it 700k near the top of the max cap charge. The worry I would have is that Dallas would want players in return. I hope that Atencio is not the chip that Dallas would want in return

They aren’t sending them atencio

If we pull off getting Jesùs and Paul from Dallas and signing Rusnak. It would seem we are switching to a 3412 form, if this was all true, where would PdlV play?

natehull.bsky.social•115 days ago

Would arriola be a WB? This fits nouhou and Yeimar so well. This would indicate JP exit closer

Interesting

As I see these signings and I am thinking
NO
I am not thinking formation change

Which is crazy cause I have used the 3-4-3 for a LONG time and I have thought the Sounders are THE team that should go three in the back

Hmmmmm

Presumably he’d be a dp
