    So does Mulraney fill Gressel's spot?

    Now Escobar is thinking about leaving?

    This is really getting out of hand!!!!

    Let me say, I am very angry with the FO about how poorly they’ve handled this offseason. We went from a SS/MLS Cup contender to I doubt we’ll make the playoffs contender.

    Honestly, I predict this is the worst handling of any off season in the entire MLS history of any club. This is insane!

    Yeah, bad miscalculation (or ignorance) by USSF as the Arlington/Alexandria area is full of Central American immigrants. I lived near Old Town for a bit before going to law school. But yeah, I can remember from TV, the stadium seemed to be rocking.

    It literally was rocking. The game was at the old RFK and they had those pull put bleachers for football and soccer games. That's where I was sitting and the reverberations on the aluminum seats had me questioning the structural integrity of my section.

    Based on the Atlanta United FC highlight reel posted on FB it seems Hearts had Mulraney playing mainly on the left.

    I love the transfermarkt website. So very comprehensive. recommended highly.

    https://www.transfermarkt.us/jake-mulraney/profil/spieler/264206


    They show Jake is primarily a right sider but can play on the left.

    Escobar is out of contract at the end of the year so steel yourself for his departure. Whether now, the summer, or at the end of the season.

    https://www.transfermarkt.us/franco-escobar/profil/spieler/338169


    If I had a guess I'd say the team will try to find him a new home in the summer. Keep him from leaving for free but leverage him for the CCL

    Interesting, the website has him as left footed but playing on the right. Do you any idea about the accuracy of that $425k market value or how they came up with that number?

    Looking forward to learning more about our new Irishman.

    I be surprised if we sold Franco before the start of the season, but what do I know. He has been our best defender the last 3 years and is always threat going forward. Traits FdB covets. I would not be surprised if we extended his contract mid season. How much does Escobar make?

    The FO isn't done yet so I don't understand all the doom and gloom. You could field a top MLS squad with the pieces we have right now and we are sitting on a mountain of TAM/GAM money so I have to think some more wheeling and dealing is in the works. Relax friend and lets see how it all plays out.

    Word is, he didn't purr enough, and never cleaned his paws to Frank's satisfaction. Probably gone to LAG and Chongarito.

    No one is safe

    You are missing the big picture Auria, look at all the DAM (Doggy Allocation Money) we picked up. Next season UGA will be roaming the sidelines and FdB will be tripping over his dog leash.

    I thought you'd already traded him?

    No, Nancy, you're getting out of hand. A club was rumored to be interested in him. How in the hell do you make the leap to "Escobar is thinking about leaving" from that? Get a grip man.

    Atlanta starting XI (4-2-3-1): Brad Guzan – Edgar Castillo, Fernando Meza, Miles Robinson, Franco Escobar – Eric Remedi, Mo Adams – Brooks Lennon, Ezequiel Barco, Gonzalo Martinez – Josef Martinez

    We need an upgrade on Edgar Castillo and Mo Adams. All that money we got with the Nagbe and Gressel trades we need to use it on the upgrades.

    Probably because LGP went from rumor to gone pretty quickly. Not to mention the Gressel trade.

    Welcome to the board Trollberto. With an moniker like that you are sure to endear yourself to us all. By the way, does anyone know what Mike Seagroves is up to these days?

    We should definitely buy some young talent to upgrade Edgar Castillo. Perhaps a George Bello type.
