News: 2022 - DCU Club Discussion and Analysis

So, you're saying not making the playoffs is sometimes a good thing ?!?

 

No matter how hard we don't try, it's unrealistic to expect us to win the wooden spoon every year. Sometimes you're just going to fail and end up with Luis Suarez. Make your peace with it.

 

the spoon would give us the number 1 pick, take it a scrap this year. use it to assess talent and come out next year on fire.

 

It’ll take more than that.

 

The draft? Lololol

 

Yea the draft is a joke and we all know it. We can get players that kinda panned out from previous drafts for pennies nowadays in the transfer season.

 

St Louis

 

I'd take Paulo Banchero (#1 nba pick)over any guys available in the mls draft.

 

Headline from the future: DC United trades #1 pick for some Garber Bucks™ and a bag of Old Bay Goldfish crackers!

 

We should do just that, no joke. We're going to end up getting a pick outside of the top 3 so just trade all of our picks away and get some guys who are 23-27 years old and can play.

 

It'd be worth it for the Old Bay Goldfish crackers. Those things are the bomb.

Maybe some teeth to this rumor after all. Not sure he’s worth the amount it would take to bring him here, but he’d instantly be a major upgrade at almost any spot in this “midfield.”

 

Daily mail (I guess they are on what amounts to a roll for them) proposing Lingard and Ravel Morrison as acquisitions.

Attackers are great but hey didnt a team just put up seven on us in a game where we lost our starting left back for the season

 

Pablo Maurer confirms the reporting that DC/Rooney are talking with Jesse Lingard about joining DC United.

DC United & Wayne Rooney are indeed in talks with Jesse Lingard & his representatives about a potential move to DC.

29-year-old English attacker has been capped 32 times - has interest from other clubs in EPL & abroad. Would be a big number for United.

There's also an unconfirmed rumor from someone on Reddit that says a report on Houston radio this morning indicated DC are in talks with Houston regarding trading for defender Teenage Hadebe.

 

Interesting. According to this tweet from May '21, we were interested in him along with Houston at that time.

I had to look that one up. I'd never heard of Teenage Hadebe. I thought you were pulling our legs!

 

Ravel Morrison, a free agent attacking MF who played for Wayne Rooney at Derby County, scheduled to arrive in Washington this weekend as sides near a designated player deal, source says.

2021-22: 36 matches, 25 starts, 4 goals, 4 assists.
Age: 29.
Intl: Jamaica.#dcu #mls

LOL

 

Goff already tweeted a follow-up to say Morrison would be a TAM player, not a DP. Also admits that makes a lot more sense.

 

It's a lot funnier and "us" to be a DP

 

He's a talented midfielder

 

The Fail has some lines on Rooney. They were ahead of most on that when we were still laughing at the idea of it actually happening.

 

That particular Mail story, however, only said what others were reporting, citing Marca for Lindgard and Sun for Morrison.

Bring in the washed up Englishmen!

 

It could be a more immediately promising approach than what got us most of our current roster.
