MLS 2017 season (other teams) [R]

Although reading the details of Arriola, he is coming at a high price.

$3m transfer fee and $1m in salary plus what ever they have to give to LA to get his rights.

Arriola spends approx 8 months in the LA academy. LA offers him a contract after Tijuana signed him and because of that it costs DC 500k. MLS as its finest

 

Who cares about DC's moves, at least they have a crappier stadium situation than we do................................. oh wait

 

DC may be setting themselves up to be next year's Chicago.

 

Meanwhile, Burns is setting up the Revs to be next years DC...

 

3.5 million an Arriola....expensive boob job!

 

Tom, we had Walter Zenga who was always mid-rage.

Since the topic came up, are we the squad with the greatest all-time anger management issues?
Zenga
Franchino
Gorter
Nicol
Jones
and Heaps

 

You can't have an all-time anger management team without Rusty Pierce.

 

It was actually nagging at me -- I knew there was someone I was missing when I posted!

 

The initial reports of Arriola's salary were high according to this FFT piece. This number below seems more reasonable to me.

Initial reports put Arriola's deal at $1 million in salary, which would have put him at a number few MLS-developed players reach. That kind of number would have highlighted a trend I've written about before, which is that players who come back to the league from overseas often have salary numbers that better reflect the global market.

The reported $1 million number was inaccurate, however.... The 22-year-old Arriola is going to make an average of $675,000 over the next three years

 

His fellow managers are getting shot down all around him, but Heaps stands bravely up, proudly hoisting the flag of defeat.

 

A franchise that is not happy with being second to last place after making the conference finals? What is wrong with them? That's how the Revs roll!!!

 

Won't help the Revs as they won't make the playoffs and they have no bench

 

He plays like a boob too

 

I think you may need to add Angoua to that list.

 

I think he read about the anger management group last week and decided he wanted to join the club.

 

In Hartford?????

 

Too bad though, even with how funny this is, they could not have worked the schedule so people could possibly do a double header road trip. Go to East Hartford, watch NYCFC and Villa, then come back and watch NE v Toronto.

It might have gained some traction as a "cool" non-conform, break the tradition, MLS 3.0 "thing" - and added to attendance at both the stadiums.

Wonder if this game will actually pull fans away from attending the Revs game? Probably not - Villa is a huge draw, but Toronto is coming to town with Giovinco, Bradley, and Altidore.....LOL, just realized I am not talking about the Reve being the draw. I wonder if the Revs were playing like DC or Minnesota....

 

Red Bulls and their supporters had some fun with NYCFC last night.
