Hernan was fun to watch. Hope to see him back on the squad at the end of the loan. My opinion hasn't changed on the subject.
Oh no, Jazzy used your fantastically funny image to reiterate the Hernan thing again. Jazzy, we comprehend! We hear you! You believe getting rid of a Hernan was a mistake! I personally DGAF because it’s water under the bridge, that ship has sailed, and Elvis has left the building!
I gave my opinion, and since this is a, uh, you know, discussion forum, I posed the question for others to weigh in (and Don G did). If you "don't care", that's fine too! But I don't see the need to try to litigate what others can bring up as discussion points.
There’s a big difference between a discussion and a diatribe / harangue. Look Jazzy, you must post 90% of the content in this forum. Fine. I’m just saying it’s not necessary to repeat the same stuff ad nauseam, we got it, we heard you. really.
How is this a “diatribe / harangue”? I’m mostly just asking questions - if people think it was the right move. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think shipping Hernan was the wrong move and don’t mind that it is brought up periodically as our season tanks.
The only way that happens is if Bruce is no longer coach and GM. That’s another conversation, but I’m on board with Bruce departing. This assumes a sale of the team of course. If RottenFish retains control of the team, then Bruce stays. I’ll grant that Bruce has done better than our previous three coaches, but he’s still making obvious mistakes. I blame Bruce for several of our losses. And I blamed Luchi for most of his losses. I don’t blame Ian so much because I think he inherited a shellshocked team. Ian did improve our performance. In any case, I doubt that we get Hernán back. At this point, I want more defenders. Go Quakesfans!!
Getting Hernán back may not be our call anyway. He's been doing pretty well with Argentinos. He's now starting and has a couple of goals and an assist in 4 or 5 games. Also we probably have about 0 leverage with Argentinos if they want to bring the price down, since Bruce not rating Hernán is pretty much public knowledge at this point. They could simply decline the option, and then say, "but how about x amount instead". I think the loan goes thru the end of next year so still a lot of water to flow under the bridge. Does Hernán retain his positive form, is Bruce still the coach for 2027, do we even have a team, etc.
