Do you know if an internal cash trade is convertible to GAM in any way? Cause my first concern is making sure that Luca and Kubo get taken care of.
comment in response to post
Ugghhhh, if there's a western conference club with 500k spare gam and an open DP spot, I don't know why we won't rip the bandaid off.
comment in response to post
Oh crap, I stopped reading before that part. ๐Ÿ™ƒ That rule sucks ass, it actively punishes ambition.
comment in response to post
Wait, wouldn't all of this mean that the margin between what we sell him for and what we bought him for is convertible to GAM, assuming we sell him for like 5 million?
comment in response to post
... wut?

Jk, just ran to the discord. Nobody missed it. Oh well, I know what kit I'm getting.

ICYMI: the FC2 added a new midfielder.
comment in response to post
Get Kubo out of there. That's Dado's spot.
comment in response to post
Also, hard to be a poacher and an aerial threat when Lucho's on the ball, 20 yards away, dribbling head first into three defenders again and losing possession.
comment in response to post
Move Lucho, DP Luca, badabing badaboom.
comment in response to post
This sucks so hard.

How sad is it that I'm excited for this?
comment in response to post
I don't know what I'm liking, but hell yeah Cincy.
comment in response to post
Same. If they thing I'm gonna change my ways on that, they've got another thing coming.
comment in response to post
My eye twitched reading this. When I say deep-seated, in my head it's deep-seeded, but it only matters if I'm typing.
comment in response to post
Also, Merry Christmas!

It's all Bengals right now for some reason.
comment in response to post
Which were named after the Miami people, who we genocided and built the University on top of.
comment in response to post
The talent is there, the drive is there. Just needs to have more stamina and eliminate the massive occasional mistakes.
comment in response to post
That's not my point though. He was drafted, as was Semmle. One was secured via GAM to move up the waiver order, and the other via the trade of a draft pick. A more savvy scouting office would have skipped a step and drafted them themselves.
comment in response to post
I don't see it. The Aaronsons and Sullivans come and go before they can even establish themselves. And the proceeds don't get spent. Glesnes is past it, and Elliott's not far behind, so I'm genuinely asking: is there a Trusty or McKenzie in the pipeline? And if so, how long until they're sold?
comment in response to post
I think gametime tonight will be the real test. I think part of it is Laurel covering all kinds of sports, but I swear I've seen others sneak through, too.
comment in response to post
And I think history shows the 2019 draft had tons of talent. Just that FC Cincy's "technical staff" wasn't equipped to find it. No offense to Ben Lundt, whom I love. All offense to Franuel Amaya.
comment in response to post
But they shouldn't lean exclusively on their academy and whatever cheap DPs Ernst can get from Denmark. Blake, Elliot, Chris Donovan, Semmle, all drafted. At the very least, you get free training camp bodies. At best, I guess you get the greatest player in franchise history.
comment in response to post
This ain't it. The draft is antiquated, but as long as it's there, only a fool would completely ignore it. Absolute worst case, you can bring them in to bring competition into the 2 team. Even Miami found Yannick Bright. The message to the youth shouldn't be "don't worry, you're safe."
comment in response to post
The only negative I'd say is the keywords tend to pick up a decent amount of Bengals stuff. But this is still the first place I come when I get on.
comment in response to post
Lol, what did Jeff do to it?
comment in response to post
Words can't describe how lame this would be. No offense to San Jose, but he JUST took the next step, don't quit on it already.
comment in response to post
Lol, wasn't expecting Gatsby. Also, wild that that's literally where it is.
comment in response to post
Ehhhem, I think you mean Etihad Park.
comment in response to post
That's Nazmi Albadawi erasure.
comment in response to post
When I discovered why, I breathed heavily out of my nose and rolled my eyes.
comment in response to post
Albright and then sign Curtin, lol.
comment in response to post
One thing to note, you said new owners were the difference. It's the same owners, Chris Albright is the difference. Plus the embarrassment of the spoon years spurred on the spending.
comment in response to post
Trying to even figure out what this is trying to say.
comment in response to post
And every fan should be pissed. There's a reason everyone celebrated the super club losing to a 40 year old Brad Guzan coached by an interim nobody. And I say again, there's really no way to know if they're cheating, but they've done it before and only got caught because they outed themselves.
comment in response to post
The only teams in danger of folding are the ones that barely spend anyway. Do you think San Jose could attract fans if they won the spoon every year because everyone else can spend whatever they want? Parity is the STATED purpose of a salary cap.
comment in response to post
Because the spirit of the rules is to ensure parity. Kansas City couldn't do this. Salt Lake certainly can't. Also, that first "if" is huge. Jorge Mas discovered with Matuidi that the only way you get found out is by telling on yourself, there's no actual enforcement mechanism.
comment in response to post
Also, one of the least attractive in the world? They're insane. Steve Buscemi looks like a weird bug, but that's what makes him beautiful.
comment in response to post
Yes to Buscemi, no idea on the other one, probably actually nobody famous, probably just clickbait originally.
comment in response to post
This is just so tiresome. Even if they're technically compliant, the roster rules were created to prevent such a team from being built, not to mention maintained. It's gonna feel so good to see them come up short again, though.
comment in response to post
He being... Jorge Mas I guess?

comment in response to post
Oooo, I like this. Would be sad about each no for different reasons, but I can live with everything.
comment in response to post
What if I really need it today though?
comment in response to post
My club didn't get the memo apparently. :(
comment in response to post
Like a fever dream, especially if you've been drinking. It's triggering for me now. If the language starts to indicate a broadcast is about to end, it's a mad dash for the remote. clackclackclackclack whoooaaaOoOOAA
comment in response to post
You'd think a Canadian club would have learned Montreal's lessons.
comment in response to post
Why? Is that on Courtois or the ownership?
comment in response to post
I don't know how much better they could get under him, but the enemy of good is better. Unless they've got a surefire MLS experienced coach lined up already, this is a massive own goal.
