    Thanks. My wife and I hope to return to Lucca in 2021 in September. Spend some time on Elba, catch the Volto Santo procession in Lucca and a few days as well in Porto Venere. God, I miss it so.

    Going to be hilarious playing 6 games in 3 weeks with an always injured striker, his USL quality backup, and 3 CBs. Ben sucks, but how is that roster construction remotely acceptable?

    Oh, wow, a guy who scored 7 goals in the bottom of English Soccer -- League 2 -- which is only ahead of the Nationwide Conference as "professional" soccer. I'm sure he and the Estonian Messi will just light the lamps for us.:rolleyes:

    If he is signed by Swansea and loaned to us, he may be ok, but he is an 18 y.o. kid and would be coming to us for seasoning. I don't think I would send any young kid to us for seasoning. It's not something that DC does well.

    Actually I believe Ben has perfected a very good dry rub for seasoning steaks, now when it comes to training young players into competent first team players -- well he should stick to seasonings.

    The 6 games in 3 weeks is just another reason why this league is a joke. Why compress it like that? How does that help anyone at all? Not just that we have shitty players but have them pmay, then no games for weeks then 6 in 3. Just ludicrous.

    We've had rest and a chance to fine tune our tactics so we can come out energized and on the front foot.

    wait....no, that's other teams.

    Pretty much getting a tall twig that hasn’t scored in forever for a guy who probably could have been helpful if our coach played him.

    In other news - Miami signed Matuidi from Juventus.

    Yeah because CBs tend to lead sides in goals scored. :rolleyes:

    I think his point was that they should be acquiring a player that can score. Not that CBs should score

    And in typical morrissey manner he made his point poorly. Not that I disagree with his sentiment.

    During his four years at Marquette University, Sjöberg was a standout, scoring 11 goals in 63 appearances for the Golden Eagles from 2011 to 2014

    I shouldn't have to get that granular. If you are getting someone that tall you kind of want some kind of Peter Crouch play from him. He should bag a couple of set pieces/corners per year. If not he may not have basic positioning, etc.

    Now Boateng wasn't playing so getting a guy we aren't going to play for a guy who didn't play is a wash but this isn't the move that we need.
