Dominic94 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I think the most interesting part… Both Miller and Kamari denied contracts on their terms and then traded…. Renard got everything so right and now it’s going so wrong. Offor is brutal… Herrea trade doesn’t make sense like let Brault play… we had a capable right back. Whos the other guy from Atlanta ? it’s not like we’re cashing in… i don’t get the build right now but Joey has to go. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller must have wanted out badly All the signs were there including no interviews since coming back - it is a disaster. Nancy leaving along with the departures last season have decimated the club. johnyb and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the opposite way: because the MLS teams all look bad this year, and likely won't have much to play for in the league, they will be looking to pick up hardware where they can.

BearcatSA Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Back to Florida. I hope he has a good season there. Regarding the Canadian MLS teams maybe having little to play for in the league: it's not yet mid-April, there is a whole lot of mediocrity in the bottom two thirds to three quarters of the conference tables, and the playoffs have been expanded. This league is built to have as many teams as possible in the playoff hunt for as long as possible. So, there is a ton of runway for a slow starting team to turn it around it and make the regular season relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 According to Quentin Parisis - Miller had no offers from Europe. I've looked at a few depth charts that were posted and safe to say that he lost his starting spot to either Cornelius with Kennedy behind him JB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Herdman and the staff can say for sure who will be the number 1 LCB. Does Quentin Parisis have some inner knowledge on the team or something like that? I've been impressed with Cornelius lately and want him to be the LCB in Nations League Finals, but I think it's too early to rule Kamal out. He was the preference at the World Cup and presumably would have been the starter last window if he wasn't injured. The good news? We are in good shape at LCB, be it Miller, Cornelius or Kennedy. I have faith in each of them. Shway, Corazon, footballfreak and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 What are we doing here? Kamal is one of the best CBs in MLS- that is not the case for Cornelius in Sweden as far as I’m aware, and Scott Kennedy is not an everyday player in the 2.Bundesliga. He’s had a rough start to a season playing for a historically terrible team whose coach is allegedly running his guys into the ground in practice and who, if you read between the lines in player interviews, has lost the hearts of his players. I’m going to need most of this season at Miami with him playing terribly to question his spot on our depth chart. Cornelius might be the better player long term- you can imagine a future where by 27 or 28 maybe he’s in the Bundesliga or something, but at present, he’s behind Kamal until one completely tanks or the other takes a big leap. narduch and cronaldo7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all the doom and gloom for Miller is a bit overdramatic and Kennedy and Laryea last year are examples of players not playing at their club and still being great for their country but in the tiny 2 game sample size Cornelius is 19th in overall in Fotmob rating and the highest rated centre back as far as I know so he very well could be.

Small sample size, but I am liking the Caps' chances to make the playoffs, maybe even do a bit of damage. Losing Cubas will hurt, for sure, but the team seems to be rounding into a real team. Not elite by any means, but a very solid group. They've a bit of depth too. (Just a bit, mind you.) I worry about FCM. TFC might get it together yet. I would bet they make the playoffs.

He's going to see UEFA competition which will put him easily ahead of the others when that happens next fall when he'll be defending against some of the best attackers in Europe Malmo already missed European qualification this year since they finished 7th last season, and the season prior, they barely beat the team from Iceland and then got blanked back to back by the Latvian team. They’ve played some very good teams in the group stages of champions league and Europa in the past, but they don’t have any more of a guanratee of qualifying than Miami does of playing Concacaf CL teams who are likely of similar/better quality, unless they make a run and make the group stages. The earliest Cornelius can play in Europe would be July 2024 if I’m not mistaken- after Copa America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
