    NRod talks out of all sides of his mouth (amongst other orifices). Consummate BS (not Schweinie) artist. Ran off John Dorn and 90% of the Academy staff. Our training complex is second to none. Building something great...

    GAM and TAM can't be used on the same player

    I know that but they can spend it on everyone even the HG players with the new rule that came out of thin air.

    A core competency of MLS: making/changing rules on the fly.

    Just watched him introduce Bastian in the press conference. Man what a FVCKING douche. Please tell him if and when the team is SOLD that this ASSHOLE is going away with Andrew?

    I hate how he had to praise Hauptman like five times at the beginning and say how he is comited to build a winning club...

    Nelson works for MLS. He's here to fluff Andy and if possible improve attendance and prevent protests from showing up on ESPN highlight shows so we stop being a blight on MLS marketing. He'll go back to some made up middle-management job with MLS 5 seconds after we're sold and stay there until another MLS club turns into a dumpster fire in need of cleanup.

    He says that in every interview. We ALL know it's bullshit, if he was committed then why have we only made the playoffs once in the last 7 years.

    Is this a real quote or a parody?

    Hey Nelson, that "number 10 fairy tree" has produced a few MLS Cup champions and some of the best players in the league. You might try visiting it some time . . . asshat.

    He has to say it to convince Don more that he is the right person.

    NRod is the MLS' Cleanup-on-Aisle-9 man. Beyond that, he's a yes man and fluffer extraordinaire!

    and no offense to Basti, but he's in no way "in another strata" from Hristo Stoitchkov.

    ETA, well, actually, I guess he is, it's just not a higher strata. ;)

    I'm moving this non-conversation where it belongs.

    Rosenberry is not an ex-Fire player. Harrison is (heh). Please stay on topic (hahahhahahahaha).
    http://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/ma...nion-vs-new-york-city-fc/details/video/100381
    Seen Harrison's goal from tonight against Philadelphia? Take a gander...look at what # 12 for Philadelphia does. Remember that # 12 is, in point of fact, Keegan Rosenberry? I think he gets an assist there, no?

    Bumped:

    I liked this comment from the article:

    "Yeah. Or, y'know, fuse TAM and GAM. Why make this more complicated than it needs to be?"-Rituro

    Answer: Because that would not give 'Shady' "GM Nelson Rodriguez' encyclopedic knowledge of the MLS rulebook" the tactical advantage the Fire receive for his continuing and AMAZINGLY successful efforts to "shake up the f*cking soccer world, boys."

    Is he lazy?
    Is he a liar?
    What a goddamned lazy liar!

    "Internationally, I would say it's virtually zero because of the paperwork and the timing and everything else that's involved," said Fire general manager Nelson Rodriguez on Wednesday. "Domestically is where we are focusing our attention, particularly because the window is so close.

    "That's other MLS teams. Are there options within the NASL, USL that we might be able to exploit?"
    http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/20170503/deadline-closing-in-for-chicago-fire-changes

    Really, no team will be able to sign a player in the summer transfer window, when 90% of the world's players change hands?

    It's too much work to actually have paperwork ready in time.
    Hey, why not do some scouting and recruitment of players, so you can be ready when the window opens???

    "Exploit" the lower leagues? That shows ambition.

    Hey, maybe we can solve our defensive problems by signing Palmer, Kwame Watson-Siriboe, and Marco Franco from Indy11. That will "exploit" NASL.

    GR is reporting that the Fire are interested in Abdul-Salaam a RB from Sporting KC. If they have enough GAM a deal could be completed by the end of transfer window.
