    I'll believe it when I see it somewhere other than MLS Transfers.

    Justin Meram is a terrible human.

    I heard on the mls podcast meram's asking price is around 7 figures in TAM/GAM.
    No way he's with that much to us.
    Kamara perhaps cause he fills an exact need. They said high 6 figures for him.

    I just really, really can't stand diving and he's probably the most offensive cheater in the league right now.

    One advantage that Meram has over Kamara is being domestic.

    That "7 figure" number right now is coming out of Columbus camp. Most MLS teams might prefer to offer 500K. In the end the price will probably meet somewhere in the middle ... $600-800K.

    I'd rather spend that money on a striker, or a defender. That's a lot for yet another MF.

    I missed that there will be no event for the new jersey. I guess those were too popular to go along with their inconvenience.

    right now theres no event planned before the season that I have heard. Nothing for STH. FO turn over is happening, Nathan left (well sorta) and Anthony Rios moved on, don't know is there are more making some moves to other places. FO hasnt met with SGs about anything.

    It would be nice to have a preseason event that they throw for STHs at least since noone will get to use STH until July. They threw all these events for us for the new stadium last year, and now nothing. We used to have monthly STH events, sadly its getting less and less. Very frustrating because it was so nice to have such easy access to the FO and players and see they all used to care about all us.

    as regards to STH for the first 2 matches, it was all lies that they told us that it would be included in the STH package or we could get a refund.
    According to Jesse:
    the first two matches will not be part of the season ticket plans. STMs will be notified of this via email and be given the option to either be refunded, or apply some of the credit for tickets to wherever the two matches might be.

    Hey so they didn't send roses, but if they had I'm sure the card would have said I'll respect you in the morning. Next time hold out for a nice meal from Red Lobster.
    This continuing drama between the team and the committed patrons has all the makings of a Univision Telenovella.

    Unnamed Spanish club put bid in for Kamara, so it may not matter

    Depending on the offer the Crew will be better off trading within MLS since TAM/GAM has no limit on what can be applied to salary vs a transfer fee.

    Of course Kamara will probably want to play in La Liga.

    Thank GOD! I for one would not to have wasted a season ticket on any game in Germantown or Annapolis or Richmond or Ashburn or anywhere other than Audi Field. Those first two "Home Games" are a waste for me and my friends. They're really just Away Games that are closer than Philly or Columbus. Maybe I'll go, but it will be a 9 hr time commitment.

    I agree, just would have been nice to have the option to say yes, include them. (would be a waste for premium and all, but us supporters, just makes it easier)

    That would make sense, but that price is way too high for a position where we already have starters.

    I'm confused. You don't have to go or pay to go. You can get a refund.
    I might go to one of the games or maybe both just as a novelty, but I can understand others who won't. I'm not sure I see the problem though.
    I presume for the Navy game we STH will all have the option and some of us won't have a chance to get tix to the Soccerplex game due to the size of the stadium.
