Revolution Stadium Groundbreaking "12-24 months" Part VII

Ha ha! Yes, I definitely can be one too!

 

How many of the other %66 do you think really understand what it is they don't approve of?

It doesn't have to go to the opposite extreme.

We've made strides this year, even if it hasn't resulted in many more points. Keep adding players, keep improving the ones that are here - rather than blow things up again and start over.

I don't think the good play earlier was an illusion, we were getting better. I still think the biggest challenge at the moment has to do with coaching - Heaps can and should get more out of this roster.

 

Making strides?

We lost Caraglio, Lekic, Zerka from last year's team. I'd love to see how Lekic/Caraglio would perform with a better midfield and striker partner, especially all the service/chances that Sene is receiving. Zerka was the type of player who would fit in much better with our new skilled, possession oriented attack.

We added Lozano and Moreno at our two most important positions and both players were epic busts. Cardenas, Lechner, White, and Runstrom have all been disappointing with the latter two having already been served their walking papers.

Nguyen and Sene have been are only two quality additions. Nguyen is the real deal, and I hope we can and are willing to pay him the money that he deserves next year. As for Sene, he's scoring goals which many people here note. I'm not a huge fan of his game, and question whether or not he's really an answer to our prodblems up top.

I'm still at the wait and see portion with Bengtson and Imbongo. Bengtson was a great signing IMO, and has the makings of a player who should succeed in this league. His performance at the Olympics along with his few Revs apeparances lead me to believe that this guy is a major part of the future of this club. As for Imbongo, he looks to be a "project" as mentioned by the FO, but a decent enough guy to keep on the bench and hopefully develop. I just don't understand why they're so willing to take a flyer on a foreign "project" like Imbongo who counts as a SI, while they won't take an equal risk on a young American through either the allocation order or the weighted lotteries.

Add up all of those things and I really don't think we're making strides. You and many others said the same exact thing last season, that we were finally improving, but that we all needed to be patient as it was a slow process. I'm trying to be patient, but it appears to me that we keep reinventing the wheel every offseason. I guarantee that we'll be looking for a center back (Coria, Lozano), a winger (Zerka, Cardenas), and a left back (Domi, Lechner) next offseason.

 

1.) 64% of them are stupid. What a waste of public money. I don't give a crap of they want it. They're wrong. If they really wanted their kids to succeed and make the world a better place, they'd invest in education.
2.) That post was way too political. I nominate it for selective editing

 

I don't want to sidetrack this on the healthcare issue, but I am absolutely amazed that there are significant numbers of people who don't think the country and every single person living in it would be better off if everyone had health insurance. Even if it was a crappy plan from United Healthcare with high deductables and limited coverage.

 

One could think the above while still being opposed to the Affordable Care Act for any number of other reasons.

 

wait, still not SSS? OK,,,,just checking,,,,,close thread

 

Can we call this the "Anything but stadium talk thread version VII"?

 

What happens first

1. New Fenway
2. Revs Stadium
3. Revs win MLS Cup
4. LA Clippers win an NBA title
5. Cubs win World Series
6. Lions win Super Bowl
7. Maple Leafs win Stanley Cup

 

6. Megatron.

 

Exactly my point.

 

I'm still wondering what provoked the big Revs-related excitement last September during the Pats trip to Miami...that sure died off quickly.

 

Before we go back on track (and since there's no stadium news), can I ask in a civil tone what exactly you hate so much about the afordable care act? I'm not exactly 100% behind it myself, but IMO it has some great provisions in there (along with 1 or two bad things).

 

Wait a minute. No roof? What a crap stadium.

 

blah blah blah taxes this, taxes that. go ******** yourselves.

 

GET THE DUCKBOATS READY!

 

It's rather discouraging to think about what the plan could have been if the pols were more interested in making something great instead of denying each other any kind of success.

It wasn't always this way.

 

I've done a lot of independent research, I only found 1 or two aspects I really didn't like. That's why I was asking. Oh well, back to stadium talk

.....nevermind

 

The people scanning tickets tonight were confused. There were a number of people who had tickets for both the Revs and the boxing, and they ticket people decided they should scan both. So I'm guessing attendance numbers were counted double for those with boxing tickets.
