At the time it seemed like $100,000 in General Allocation Money for the 2020 season and an international spot for 2020 seemed pretty cheap for a starting midfielder. Today it looks like a pretty good deal. And while he does have some history with Josh Wolff and Fatass McCheapskate would surely love to bring in a former Crew homegrown, it would seem unlikely at this point.
Posting this gem from KCbus from the MLS CUP FINAL thread over here because. So far we’ve at least won the Eastern Conference title and made it to MLS CUP final before they even touch a blade of their toxic grass!
Oh I definitely think he could find a place in Europe. Lower league obviously. My wife has a cousin who was #4 draft pick in MLS. Made shit $$ right out of gate (MLS 1.0). After few years ended up getting picked in expansion draft by another team and then got a sport hernia. Knocked him back & out of game for a bit but eventually got it fixed and hooked on with a USL (now MLS) team and was even on the amateur Hollywood United team that went a few rounds in USOC. But he quickly saw that getting back into MLS wasn't going to happen and there was no money in USL, so he went an trialed in Australia. Nothing came about, so he considered retiring. His agent arranged a couple of trials in Germany so he gave that a go and quickly hooked on with Bundesliga 2 team. He then played 8 years in Bundesliga 2 & 3 and made exponentially more $ than he did in MLS as a top draft pick. He's now retired and coaching at his alma mater. He is really good friends with Ezra so I wouldn't be surprised if Ez gets the DC job if he doesn't bring him in as an asst. I actually got to meet Ez when he played with Crew after a game against each other they came out to our tailgate after the game together.
Matt Taylor? I have a postage stamp with him on it, when he was with Munster. Saw him play for Paderborn in '11.
BINGO! Good super sleuthing. Figured I gave enough info to figure it out. Fun fact - he was actually born in Columbus.
This post from late November is from another thread: Have at it, folks. Be sure to use the arrow to take you to that thread. And yes, I'd like to hope he realizes there is such a forum. In this case, I'm deliberately taking things out of context. A) I'm taking the post out of context to make the poster look dumb. I'm sure the intent is to "put the forum in that section." Or: B) The poster doesn't realize there is a forum and they really are that dumb. But the stupid burns like a toxic waste site.
Only 4 players are on the roster from 2015. Only 1 is a starter. This team was built by Tim And Caleb. Austin and all 6 of their soccer bros can fnck off.
