The decision is very much based on the potential of lost revenue and Not sellable merchandise. Fanatics would prefer to have fewer options of players with last names.



Yeah but apparently I got lucky grabbing my Almiron jersey this week because someone else on here went to buy one and they were sold out. I wouldn't be surprised if Martinez's sold like crazy too.

Maybe something to do with him being on loan?

I've always been a casual US fan, but decided to go all in on the club stuff a few years ago and outside of Arsenal trying suck out my will to live right now it has been a blast.

This looks like a great team to get started with.

Just want to point out that if we signed Romero, we wouldn't have Martinez.

Remember the Kenwyne Jones hype about how we had a proven goalscorer? I mean we'll probably need him this season still, but amazing how it all turned out (early returns and all).

This, all day. The passes were crisp


And, unlike typical American players, when they catch a pass the ball sticks to their foot like glue instead of bouncing 3 feet away.

And every time we get the ball, everyone turns 100% to offense. May not be the best long term, but damn if it isn't exciting to watch.

Passing definitely good, but we had some pretty bad giveaways as well that led to breaks the other way. Fortunately we were up a man and sniffed nearly all of them out.

Ya can't have those against better teams like Seattle or we will get exposed. I feel like we should be able to score with anyone thought.

Well that didn't take long

Good for Atlanta and good for the league. Much better acquisition than what Chicago is up to.

Miggy and Josef both got starts tonight in WCQ. Both currently ahead as well. Great to see. Carmona on bench for Chile.
