sorry, link broken Antoine Griezmann to MLS is on! LAFC 'make progress' in deal to sign Atletico Madrid star with France international offered deal to become second-highest earner in MLS https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/an...elease-clause-summer-move/blt2969c0a583879edc LAFC targeting ambitious transfer move to bring Antoine Griezmann to MLS https://www.themirror.com/sport/soccer/lafc-transfer-antoine-griezmann-mls-614677
Some people had him slotted into the starting lineup months ago! Doubt anyone thought it was a realistic possibility.
Why would he want to leave Lugano? He won't be a DP here, so with the money the same, why? I'm more pissed Marcel Hartel left St. Pauli and went to freaking stlouis town as a DP. I guess he didn't like the idea of plying in the Bundesliga, even on a side likely to drop back down.
Good to see some of the Fire II players getting a few minutes on the field. A strong team would have MLS Next and “bottom of roster” players good enough that they are threatening the “backups” for playing time. Would sure like to see this on the Fire!
Agreed. What would be very good would be some "rumors" about new players joining (and leaving?!?) the team. Even the crickets are silent.
There were things he could have done better but at least he did not totally embarrass himself, which is possible when inserted with little preparation into the back line.
might be a laidback personality but there were moments where he looked like he was just half-assing it out there
One rumor says the crickets are staging a silent protest opposing Heitz continuing to conduct roster activities.
23 days until next match for Fire. Should allow at least partial integration of the 2 newly acquired DPs. Wait…l almost forgot… no new DPs. Guess Heitz forgot,too! So disappointed nobody wants Shaqiri!
This is the type of player we should target. He's 23, scored 18 goals in the Czech league last season and is a full Czech international. Sources: Viktoria Plzen reject bids from Real Salt Lake for Czech int'l attacking midfielder Pavel Sulc (23). @infotbal first on bids.Sources add he is one of a few active targets for DP attacker.

Is it time to start the 2025 thread? The roster sucks so bad no team is even willing to take on anyone who is within 6 months of the end of contract. I can't remember outside of Rafa and Shaqiri, whose contract expires at the end of the year? I know it has been somewhat proven that continuity of the roster is a good sign of success in MLS, but I'm expecting a big turnover for 2025.
Others- Herbers, Arigoni, Gutman, Dean, Richey, Gal, Omsberg, Casas ( I think this is a correct list)
