I hope Bogert gets terrible service the next time he goes out to dinner as karma for sorting that list alphabetically instead of highest to lowest available.
Not real surprising. I mean, I think a lot of their transfers were on a free or are now off the books (Alba, Busquets) or both. Where they did pay a fee, it has been mostly DP or U22, so they don't have to "but down" anyone. They have not bought too many INT slots that I can recall. They sold Cremaschi (spelling?). Miami plays the game well.
Big news Two ~8 week transfer windows. January 26 to March 26 and July 13 to September 2. No limits on cashfers https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/major-league-soccer-announces-updated-2026-transfer-window-dates
One good move here is that the summer window opens 11 days earlier than it did last year, and will actually open during the WC shut-down period. The Crew's first match after the break is July 22. Meaning anyone we acquire in the summer window - if they're on-board before the window opens and we have all our ducks in a row in terms of visas, transfer paperwork, etc., - might have a shot at dressing for that 7/22 match. Last year, the summer window opened on July 24.
Well, look, I’m shifting over into ‘blame Wilfried’ mode for the time being. We know he was ultra-demanding regarding player signings. Rejected many players proposed by Bez and, I assume, Tall. It’ll be interesting to see if the player acquisition process shifts into a higher gear with a new manager. There’s no reason why it couldn’t.
I actually worked several games where he was one of the coaches. I never had a problem with him. Never heard a single word and it wasnt because I was the second coming of Pierluigi Collina. He was focused on coaching his guys and chirping at the official just didnt help his team learn anything or play better. He was laser focused. With the Xoggz he was more animated, but managing a pro game is a whole different beast.
What... what is this? Highlights from a preseason match?! https://youtube.com/shorts/KZAdmBHDvxc Guille smiles upon us!
The catch is that it's in friggin portrait mode so you can't see jack. (I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of some other app that it was uploaded to, but this trend to put stuff in portrait mode is incredibly stupid, especially by people who grew up with cameras.) /Rant
Indeed. A really lovely one. Korinne. I have a high opinion of Nick aside from his disgraceful involvement with that lying bastard Seamus Red Card Reilly.
