Charlotte FC being linked to Paul Arriola. I don’t particularly like this… Arriola has been a solid MLS player but at this point he is what he is… a solid winger that you can build around but he needs to be surrounded by really good players. There’s absolutely no reason to give up a record amount of GAM for him.

The big red flag with Strong is that he stares down his receivers and holds on to the ball way too long for not being a mobile QB. He reminds me a lot of Jared Goff. Out of all the top QB’s in the draft, he’s probably played the overall weakest schedule so it’ll be interesting to see how he does in the senior bowl.

Recap of tonight’s game.

Think a lot of concerns stem from the level of competition. Burrow put up ridiculous numbers while beating #2 Clemson, #4 Georgia, #6 Florida, #7 Oklahoma, #8 Alabama, #14 Auburn, and #25 Texas while going 15-0 and winning a National Championship… Pickett beat up on a horrible ACC…

Cardinal fans have to be getting deja vu from the last time they were in the playoffs… a 49-15 ass whooping at the hands of Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly… good times.

Certainly Kahlina, you don’t often see MLS teams use international slots on goalkeepers. He also has Champions League and Europa League experience. Sisniega will probably be the backup followed by Zendejas. I expect Marks to get loaned out to a USL club.

Updated Roster: GK - Kristijan Kahlina (XI), Pablo Sisniega (SUB), Adrian Zendejas (SUB), George Marks (SUB) LB - Joseph Mora (XI), Christian Fuchs (SUB), Adam Armour (SUB) CB - Anton Walkes (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB) CB - Christian Makoun (XI), Guzman Corujo (SUB) RB - Jaylen Lindsey (XI), Harrison Afful (SUB) CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI), Chris Hegardt (SUB) CM - Alan Franco (XI), Ben Bender (SUB) CM - Sergio Ruiz (XI), Brandt Bronico (SUB) LW - ? CF - Yordy Reyna (XI), Vinicius Mello (SUB), Kyle Holcomb (SUB) RW - McKinzie Gaines (SUB)

That’s actually not correct. He was the passing game coordinator and his main responsibility was talking to Burrow after each series and discussing what both of them saw on the field. The only time Brady called plays was in empty packages.

MLS will always be a stepping stone/retirement league and depending on how Middlesbrough finishes this season, McGree could be playing in the EPL next year.

What a shitty loss.. this is what separates us from being a top 5 seed and a 8 seed.

Well… that’s gonna do it.

Plumlee comes in and the Hornets cut it to 4… he’s a +10 to lead the Hornets.

This is going to be a horrible loss..

Believe it or not, the Hornets have played the best when Plumlee is in the game. I’d look at putting him back in the game.

Win the quarter, win the game.

Figure out how to play some defense and we’ll win this game by 10+… don’t and we might lose.

Took a few minutes but we do appear to care about winning this game.

As suspected, McGree didn’t want to be in Charlotte.

Christian Ortiz (LW/AM) and Adrian Zendejas (GK) are rumored to be joining the club.

Soccer, unlike most sports has a lot of leaked rumors and as we saw with the whole Riley McGree debacle from where he was all but sold to Celtic FC before Middlesbrough stepped in, some rumors come true… and some don’t. Here’s a safe space to post Charlotte FC transfer rumors until they are confirmed by the club.

The Magic are severely short staffed… no Bamba, Carter, Fultz, MCW, Isaac, or Moore. No reason not to win this game by double digits.

Bummed about this but oh well. We stand to make around $5M off a deal for a player that never played for us. We still have eight roster spots available and three international slots. It would be nice to see a couple of DP’s and a few young depth signings.

Got the Magic tonight, under no circumstances should we lose to a 7 win team.

Looks like Middlesbrough has won the race for McGree.
