He's So Wondo! The continuing chronicle of Chris Wondolowski's career

You mean repurpose the win pins starting at #4

 

Did you know Chris Wondolowski was a 4:15 miler in high school?

Fun Facts By Falvo!

 

If Wondo played on a decent team, he probably would have broken the record by now....

 

A "decent" team may have never given Wondo the chance or would have replaced him with the newest best thing.

 

Just add it to the list! 😎

Congrats to @ChrisWondo on reaching 25,000 minutes played in @MLS this past weekend in Houston! 👏 pic.twitter.com/f5HuDMLqSc

Yeah, but Tarbell has been gaining ground over the course of the season.

Some high praise from good defenders/goalkeepers across the league....

Excellent article and spot-on analysis by other players.

EDIT: And, of course, the byline is Jeff Carlisle.

 

I especially appreciated Besler's thoughts on how Wondo ALWAYS finishes his run and that's one of the reasons why he's always there to score.

Ninth straight season with 10 or more goals ✔️

One away from the all-time scoring record ✔️

WALKING. LEGEND. 👏#WondoWatch pic.twitter.com/rZs2FIK90u

Chris Wondolowski of @SJEarthquakes scored his 10th goal in 2018, the ninth time he's scored 10 or more goals in a season, most of any player in #MLS history.
The nine double-digit seasons have come in consecutive years (each of the last nine) -- no one else has more than five.

Why the f*ck didn't Wondo start against the Red Bulls?

And in my mind, he'll always have an extra goal, because I'll never forget the one against Atlanta stolen from him by the corrupt VAR official. So, Wondo already has a share of the all-time record.

 

I believe this also makes it his 140th goal with the Earthquakes? Probably not going to see that again from another player anytime soon....

 

I'd love to see Wondo break the record with the Quakes but his contract is until: 12-31-2018. He has a 1 year option but I can't tell from this ownership are willing to give him what he is used to earning. I doubt he will accept going from making $800k to a paltry salary of say, $200k. I'm sure there are other teams across the league who would probably offer him a lot more than that. The next two games or even from October 28th until December 31st will be very interesting.

 

If Alan Gordon going back to the Gals was bad, Wondo going to LA and breaking the record would be devastating for the Quakes. If that was the case and I was Fisher , I'd give Chris $1 million to save face...

 

How about just paying Wondo to stand on a pedestal and be a living statue like a San Francisco street Performer? It would be entertaining to watch people stand in front of him to have pictures taken and then see them freak out when he moves.

 

He moves so slow, you might not know the difference

 

Have to assume he'll be retained to not only get the record, but also for coaching young forwards.

 

Yes, there is no way San Jose trades him away at this point. He is going to get the record, retire as a Quake, join the FO/coaching staff, and there will be a statue of him outside of Avaya. I still vote for the interactive Wondo statue that sprays water out of his mouth like his pregame ritual towards the Ultras.

 

At that point he will only get 8000 pennies as opposed to getting 800,0000 dollars....

He won’t be able to pay off his Los Gatos home!

 

We can get the tomatoes out.....
