travisura

bruh I'm not arguing anything with you.

I think that's what that means yeah

Yeah @4Corners just do your own research man come on.

Yes this is the exact same as the literal fugging holocaust. Jesus dude you need to get a grip.

Found a write-up from MLS on Charlotte's draft picks last night: https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/2021-expansion-draft-results-charlotte-fc-makes-picks-ahead-of-inaugural-season Orrin McKinze Gaines II Forward · Austin FC Charlotte went low-risk, high-reward by taking Gaines with their first selection. The 23-year-old forward will join his second expansion side in as many seasons after spending the 2021 campaign with Austin FC. Gaines only played 205 minutes after joining his hometown club in July, but showed potential in flashes, scoring his first MLS goal in a 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy on Sept. 26 in spectacular fashion. While yet to break through as a consistent contributor at the professional level, his physical gifts are obvious, with Gaines possessing breakneck speed that can put defenders on their heels. The hope for Charlotte will be that Gaines can compete for minutes as a depth piece in the attack right away, with upside to become a consistently productive MLS forward. Anton Walkes Defender · Atlanta United In Walkes, Charlotte selected a proven MLS center back who has been a key fixture for Atlanta United across two different stints with the Five Stripes. The 24-year-old Englishman joined Atlanta ahead of their 2017 expansion season, making 20 appearances before departing to join English side Portsmouth. He then rejoined Atlanta in 2020 and was a regular, starting 32 of the club's 34 games last season while scoring two goals and dishing out two assists across 2,776 minutes. With that MLS familiarity, as well as his previous stint with an expansion team, Walkes should provide a steady presence in the back and serve as a vocal leader from day one. Joseph Mora Defender · D.C. United Mora gives Charlotte another well-established MLS defender still in his prime. However, D.C. United parted ways with him after the 2021 season. The 28-year-old left back played at least 1,500 minutes in each of his four seasons with D.C. United, where he's made 97 appearances since joining from Saprissa in his native Costa Rica ahead of the 2018 season. He's also featured extensively for Costa Rica on the youth international circuit, earning six senior-team caps since his 2018 debut. Tristan Blackmon Defender · Los Angeles Football Club Trading Expansion Draft picks is another way new clubs accrue financial resources while assembling their roster, and Charlotte did that with each of their final two choices. The first was Blackmon, who Charlotte selected from LAFC and then traded to Vancouver Whitecaps FC for $350,000 in 2022 GAM and $125,000 in 2023 GAM. Blackmon has been a useful player for LAFC since joining the Black & Gold as the third overall pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft from the University of Pacific. He's been a regular starter at both right back and center back while playing in 64 regular-season matches. Ismael Tajouri-Shradi Forward · New York City FC TRADED TO LAFC Just three days after winning MLS Cup 2021 with New York City FC, Ismael Tajouri-Shradi is on the move. Upon being selected with Charlotte's fifth pick of the Expansion Draft, the forward was traded to LAFC for $400k in General Allocation Money in 2022. The 27-year-old is coming off a productive season for the recently-crowned champs, scoring seven goals in just 1,234 minutes, while frequently playing the role of an energetic super-sub off the bench. Indeed, Tajouri-Shradi's last appearance in a NYCFC jersey came as an 80th-minute substitute in Saturday's dramatic shootout victory over the Portland Timbers in MLS Cup.

Didn't take long for the holocaust comparisons to start flying. To the TB we go, I suppose.

It should start really picking up here in the next couple of weeks as the roster takes shape and preseason starts.

It's because Brady Christensen's arms are too short.

Appreciate the work you're doing here comrade.

As soon as I heard Rhule say that hiring Brady was outside of his comfort zone, I knew right then that that was going to lead to Rhule only ever giving the nod to people he's personally familiar with.

I think we're in for another year of poor to mediocre QB play regardless next year. But with an overhauled OL, at least we would be in position to get our franchise guy in 2023.

Any QB we get is going to be running for their life behind this line, just like we've seen all year. It is absolutely unacceptable to not overhaul the OL this offseason. OL first, then QB.

IF, and that is a big if, we can can basically can the entire offensive coaching staff and bring in a crew who know how to get the best out of players and can scheme around the talent that we have, and if we spend the vast majority of our draft capital on the OL, then I think we can be a decent to good offense. QB is still an area of need but OL has to come first. We have talent on the offense, we just need a good line and coaches who actually know what they're doing.

Numba 1 baybee let's fckn gooooo

I'm never the type to root for my team to lose, but if losing the rest of our games gets Rhule fired, then so be it.

Obv I'm biased but I think we've got the best blue of all of them.

I'm right there with you. I'm still going to be getting the replica over the authentic but with other jerseys I've owned, the difference between the two have been so unnoticeable that you'd have to be a jersey expert to know. Now there's a big glaring difference that is a lot easier to pick out and that's just annoying.

Authentic Replica My biggest gripe is that the "replica" jersey does not have the same collar as the authentic. It's a small thing, but it weakens the design in my opinion, and now I'm forced to decide if the accurate collar is worth an extra $50.

I really do like this kit. So many MLS kits are just a solid color jersey template with the club crest and sponsor. It may feel like a small thing, but having white sleeves does so much to differentiate us. And add on top of that the fact that we have white shorts with it, not a monochrome jersey and shorts situation, and I think we'll look really good out there on the pitch. As one commenter said previously (I can't remember where): there's a lot worse things you can be than blue arsenal. There's a reason Arsenal's kits are iconic around the world.

I have a feeling the one that got leaked is what it's gonna look like.

This has to be the way right? I mean what has Rhule shown to anyone in the organization that year 3 will be better than years 1 and 2?

The teams that have supposedly contacted him could be lower level teams within the power 5 conferences. And that's assuming that this rumor has merit to it.
