Areet Darren, you dick.

Well screw you too, dude. It was needlessly harsh on my part, fam. I just find it irritating is all.

As we seemingly can’t or won’t compete for top European talent, this is exactly the kind of signing we should be making. Young player, proven talent with plenty of first-team minutes under his belt, but who might not attract attention from big-spending rivals due to the quality of the league he’s currently playing in. Certainly rather go this route than wasting money on some shit clogger solely because he has PL “experience.”

Referring to it as “the” MLS is an automatic points deduction from the validity of the opinion being offered. Almiron has taken the piss out of MLS since he arrived; he’s easily one of the best, if not the best, players in the league. As Disco has noted, he was also an exceptional player in Argentina before signing with Atlanta. There’s little doubt about his ability.

Yeah but I think he's better utilised away from home; no screaming moaners whenever he loses possession or makes a mistake and his pace on the break. Rafa needs to tell him to be direct and to run at his man, it's where his assists for us have come from. When he's getting down the line his crosses are decent, he has to stop putting his foot on top of the ball and turning in wide areas. It happened in the second half last night and it's frustrating as f***. In 1992, a fan threw a pie at Mick Quinn who responded by picking it up and eating it. If players now are so thin skinned that they aren't able to play without fans refusing to criticise their mistakes, they should probably stop collecting their thousands of pounds a week and find another job. Not that I am one to bew, but I think fans who are forking out a small fortune to watch are probably entitled to grumble a bit when someone who is paid more in a week than they are in a year trips over the ball. Arguably the fan was just doing Micky a solid, as his blood sugar was low on account of not gorging himself in the previous half-hour.

Now I’m aroused.

Looking forward to him being labeled shit after 2 matches.

RB Newcastle United Red Bulls for me like

No. it happen.

Going to be loads of rumours about all sorts of different groups and even current owners of clubs elsewhere. I hardly think they will just blow their secrecy now just because Ashley has said he’s in talks (if we are to believe he’s telling the truth). Knowing our luck it’s fucking Red Bull. Would take tbh

Hughes, Bruce, Fat Sam, Moyes

Tyler Adams joining RB Leipzig in January very good move for his development.

Of course the MLS nerds like Matt Doyle are wanking themselves silly over this hire.

Will Trapp just shot up the depth chart.

Grant Wahl has a good take: http://amp.si.com/soccer/2018/12/02/gregg-berhalter-usmnt-manager-us-soccer-earnie-stewart-jay

Tata Martino and Juan Carlos Osorio as well. Fine if they interview all these guys but opt for Berhalter instead. Just make the case. But there’s no indication they ever really considered anyone else. Reeks of nepotism, as Berhalter’s bro is a USMNT bigwig.

Who? Managed Columbus Crew for 4(?) years. Hammarby in Sweden before that. Former USMNT defender.

Gregg Berhalter named national team manager. More of the same then. Zero reason they couldn’t have made that appointment a year ago. Also a total joke that they didn’t even really consider anyone else.
