    Has Polster actually signed on at Ibrox? Is there any chance that he comes back?

    If they take all that GAM TAM down to the bank and exchange it for rolls of pennies then they can stack the rolls up in front of the goal like Trump's wall and the rolls of pennies will have a lower goals against average than the traffic cones of past seasons. It's good that the Front Office is in fact learning despite all these "wallowers" complaining all the time!

    Krompir!

    I just realized that I had the Fire playing a man short. Instead of leaving off a forward I should have ommitted our shambolic screen-door of a goalkeeper.

    Where have you gone, Zach Thornton?
    Our city turns its lonely eyes to you...

    He has gone to Elizabethtown College as goal keeping coach.

    Even at 45, he would probably be less error prone than Richard 'dirty' Sanchez. Not as mobile, but would not cough up balls into the goal.

    We would be 20% better as a team with Sean Johnson on the field.

    Yep, he is, as well, or did he leave the college?

    7 figure transfer fee for Frankowski and using DTAM (or whatever it's called) to sign him, maybe Joe is doing something.

    DTAM - Developmental? Targeted Allocation Money?

    Is this the one for young players and what is the maximum age?

    Allocation money specifically for buying down the transfer fees of possible DPs.
    At least I think that's what it was.

    I think you described TAM "classic." DTAM is like "new" TAM.

    D-TAM is like Crystal Pepsi.

    I've never seen it in my life.

    And it tastes like crap if you do find it.

  22. Crystal Pepsi WAS crap, but Diet Pepsi Lemon was good & should be brought back.

    Discretionary, this comes out of the owners pocket. So this looks like it came from Joe.

    Added that the two CBs mentioned at jersey unveiling also will require transfer fees.
    Is the Chicago Fire suddenly open for business?

    Joe Mansueto is at the very least.
    As I said, he's giving them one more shot with real resources this time.
