Will likely wait for any swelling to go down before doing an MRI.

Sucks for us and the mls that the most lethal player is out after 1 game.

Who is the backup? Y’all let Vasquez go and he was actually pretty good for Cinci yesterday.

Adam Jahn. We didn't let Vazquez go as much as we didn't protect him in the expansion draft.

It's possible that we change the formation a little, or make Pity the striker and let Rossetto or Castro take Pity's spot.

Or we can convince Daniel Sturridge to take a bit of a pay cut but guarantee him the starting spot for the rest of the season.

Sturridge is making 27kGBP (so around 34k usd) a week
Is that difficult to match?

We could try a big splash move and sell in the offseason, once josef is back

Don't think we have the room to make a splash move, unless it's a loan. We can't sign another DP.

I saw some people saying they would like to see it, but I haven't seen an actual rumor of it being a possibility.

Oh yeah, it's all Twitter talk/speculation. No reputable outlet is saying it will happen.

Sebastian Soto or Bobby Wood would probably be more likely options if we're bringing over Americans from Europe.

Not sure what the $ was and too lazy to look it up, but would have been nice to have BWP as a backup like LAFC do.

I'm not so sure an English FA cup penalty has any effect on what the MLS can or could do (unless there is either written or hand-shake agreements between FAs to respect each others actions), but I doubt any team would touch a player currently banned due to a gambling allegation anyway.

Really wish i could watch. Hard to really get into it when I can only see a hand full of games due to location. But instead im relegated to womens basketball.
