Rumor: 2026 MLS In-Season Roster Moves, Signings, Speculation, & Rumors

How is a guy named Williams Spanish?

 

Rapids are splashing the GAM.

The top nine in the Western Conference are already scary, sitting on piles of GAM, and getting stronger. It's early in the season, but at the current pace, the last playoff team in the West may have 51 points.

 

I agree, though the number should be above the traditional 42-44 point line. (The last five seasons in the West, most recent to oldest, the ninth team has finished with 41, 47, 44, 43, and 45 points.) Still, for those of us clearly below the top nine level, it's going to be a very long season. We're going to beat up each other too, only in between receiving our thrashings from the top nine.

 

Top 9 in the East last year all had 53+ points. The bottom 6 all had 43 or less. So it's possible.

 

Cincy having (very) early discussions with Neymar's camp:

🇧🇷 Sources: FC Cincinnati engage Neymar's camp on preliminary talks.

Very preliminary. Still internal discussions at club about whether to push for the global superstar... but Cincy is gauging Neymar's interest/requirements.

Seems like a very bad idea. No way he stays healthy in MLS.

 

Denkey.

 

Not worried about that...

 

Yeah this was a guy who was accused of not taking his career seriously while playing under the brightest most intense spotlight in the world at Barca and PSG. How's he going to act in MLS?

 

Same as he did in Saudi Arabia where he played 7 times in a year and a half.

 

He should have been the most agricultural center half in the world. Then we could call him Denkey the Donkey.

We can still call him that when he shanks one.

Some creative away fans should practice hee hawing like a donkey, just in case.

 

I kinda don’t think I would ever make animal noises at a black person, but I get the sentiment.

 

Given the end of player for player trades in MLS, I suspect his record of 12 clubs will never be matched.

And he wasn’t even an MLS lifer! He played in Europe for a bit! Unreal!

 

I don't know, Frankie Amaya is only 25 and is a third of the way there (CIN, NYRB, LAFC, MON). Kei only had 3 at that age.

 

If anyone is sucker for punishment, Toronto FC vs Athletico Ottawa Voyageurs Cup match on FS2, second half just started

 

I saw the last 30 minutes of that game...what a disaster for TFC.

 

DC United have signed Andre Dozzell as a free agent from Portsmouth on a 2 year deal with an option for a 3rd. He'll join July 1 and take an international roster spot (for now).

I hope they sell a lot of shirts!!!

They already have Cuypers, who kicks ass.

 

With the new mechanism for intraleague sales, to me the obvious move would be to sell Cuypers if they sign Lewandowski. I’ll go so far as to suggest intraleague sales make it more sensible for a club to go after a truly elite player like Lewandowski.
