United’s new tagline should be “Mediocrity Guaranteed - No Refunds or Exchanges”

anguslong9.bsky.social•10 days ago

apart from the 30% refund they offered.

When will the Fidel Barajas loan be made official?

bxntke.bsky.social•10 days ago

I’m optimistic for this season

bossfly.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s the hope that kills.

thecolorfulkit.bsky.social•10 days ago

hoping Barajas gets minutes with them this season.

It’s definitely Lesesne’s team. If he pulls this off, he’ll be branded as a genius coach, because we don’t look good on paper

I’ve seen this story before. Bargain bin hunting in the offseason. They finish 2nd to last this year

Interesting that Murrel is listed as a winger and not striker. I'm sure it's been that way, but always viewed him as a forward more than a chance creator.

stevengoff.bsky.social•10 days ago

Last season and this preseason, he was primarily second-choice right wing.

bzeb95.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you.
Possible starter Saturday with no Stroud and Peglow? Or is Leal next in line?

bxntke.bsky.social•10 days ago

Peglow will play for stroud and on the left is kijima

stevengoff.bsky.social•10 days ago

Peglow is questionable with injury. If he can’t play, it’s probably Kijima, Pirani and Leal. TBA.

bxntke.bsky.social•10 days ago

APB suggests murrell on the right instead.

bxntke.bsky.social•10 days ago

I heard something about Peltola being injured/questionable. Is that true?
