    That says equally bad things about RSL, Herediano, and CCC in general
    Our draw was the lowest quality of the bunch, looking back at it… and we still lost

    I'm listening to the Off the Crossbar episode dropped the other day. They are talking about RSL signing a kid from Philly. I haven't heard/seen anything about this. Anyone know anything?

    Seems like something you should tell fans about given the not so good season. You might have the next Diego Luna...

    Regular Season Goals:

    Chicho Arango: 8
    Danny Musovski: 5
    Albert Rusnák: 5
    Anderson Julio: 3
    Ajago+Piol+Agada+Barea: 2

    I would take any of them back right now. If not for Luna+Eneli+Cabral we'd be in LA Galaxy territory right now.

    Edit: OK, I wouldn't take Arango back but I think I made my point.

    I don't think I would take any of the back honestly. I think this club has suffered too long with a lck of imagination. Maybe Julio for being a different kind of striker and disruptor.

    At this point I would throw them all out with the bath water and start over on the striker front. Wouldn't let the door hit Diogo in the butt on the way out either.

    You might be right. I don't think it made sense for RSL to keep Rusnak as a DP. Not sure exactly what happened with Musovski (definitely deserved some kind of raise) and the Julio for Manoel swap made sense (in theory).
    I'm pretty sure Diogo needs to go in the European transfer window, whether it's a discount sale or the Miller's ponying up on a buyout. RSL just can't afford to be getting nearly nothing from a DP.

    I think my post was more about how lackluster our strikers have been, which has already been discussed here ad nauseam. But it is disheartening to see ex-RSL players around the league having more individual success than our entire attacking force combined.We offloaded high priced talent in Chicho and Gomez and failed to bring in guys that could measure up to the depth pieces we had behind those players.

    Understood.

    Musovski dug his own grave when he sat out. He could have stayed here but tried to get a bigger payday than the club was probably thinking and then sat out to try and gain some leverage. That did not sit well with the FO even if Pablo started him the week he came back.

    I don't know much about Rusnak other than he was probably looking for something a little more stable. Didn't he leave before we had an actual owner? He is probably doing better in Seattle but it's not like he has set their world on fire. He is a nice player for sure.

    They do have some decent numbers early but time will tell. I know a guy who had 17 goals by July or something and then couldn't find the back of the net if you paid him. lol

    I do like Julio though, but I am sucker for speed.

    There is so much blame to go round with this club this year. If things don't turn around I am definitely curious to see where the blame lands.

    Perhaps we can bring Sabo out of retirement?

    What club in their right mind is paying for Diogo with just 6 months left on his contract this summer? Wait and get him on a free in January

    it’s a sunk cost. I certainly think the millers should shop him and if anyone is serious explore it, but I have serious doubts it works

    Pretty sure it's a guaranteed contract through the end of next season. If it was this year, I'd be encouraging him to sign a pre contract with another club.

    Well that sucks
    Nobody is picking up Diogo. And I don’t know how you convince the millers of all ownership groups to pay someone so not play

    It’s almost certain they have the old school philosophy of “The high priced assets don’t sit on the bench”.
