youllneverwalkalone Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) What structural changes have occurred to allow MLS to spend 122m euro in this window? In MLS 2.0 transfer fees counted against the cap. The only change I recall was the split with the league changing for homegrown players, but I thought the cap still restricted how this could be spent. To be fair, I stopped paying attention after TAM... Edited February 29, 2020 by youllneverwalkalone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Everytime you want to watch highlights they have the same dumb MLS app ad like it's 2012 with Rooney touching the crest obnoxiously. They used to change those every year. Or am I just irritable for that bunk preceeding what I got from the Caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Looks like the MLS will start to experiment with subbing off a player that suffers a concussion , and not having it count as one of the 3 substitution a team can make. Moreover, if a player is deemed to be ok he can come back into the game and the player that replaced him would then come off. This is something I hope all leagues will eventually implement. Moreover, I think this will also be used in the Olympic soccer tournament this year . This is something that is long over due . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is deemed to have a concussion there is no chance he or she should be coming back on and who's to say players won't abuse this if all 3 subs have been used?

He may have not needed to come out, but he clearly called for the ball and the new RB Bikel cleared anyway, which left Crepeau in no man's land.

Moor would be #3 at best at TFC, and makes too much money for a #3. Not sure people said he was done, just surplus to requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 the two big money strikers in this one hernandez and cavallini look out of it and frustrated..they gotta get hwang out of vancouver sooner than later..what a mistake to bring him as dp..and teibert being his partner the middle..lol do you really think you will be a winning team in mls with that..and milinkovic and dajome just looking like lass venuto etc..boy is dos santos bad at bringing players..and as I write this crepeau just smacks a ball right out of play..well at least they keeping them at 0-0 away from home after 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean it can be abused , but it’s kind of crazy the way it is now guy gets a head injury and you almost want to keep him on so you don’t have to use one of your three subs . This needs to be addressed, these players have hopefully long lives to live after their playing days are done and to be affected the rest of your life from concussions suffered in your playing days is not a good thing. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal Cincinnati (upset pick) West: LAFC LA Galaxy Portland Seattle Sporting KC RSL Minnesota Mostly agree with him in the West and mostly disagree in the East..think nyc didnt bring enough quality in the offseason and that will hurt them..red bull..armas still seems clueless..miami think will take time as they are an expansion..columbus really looking good but also like cincy with their player signings expect for their coach situation..in the west just dont see it with dallas..you look at that team and ask who are their dp's?? and for san jose think they were naive and didnt bring enough quality..alanis is good but you gotta bring a bigger number of high quality players than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Top 5 for MLS power rankings are Atlanta, Seattle, LAFC, Minnesota and Toronto. Montreal and Vancouver are 14 and 19 respectively. I think Atlanta are overrated. I expect them to slip without Josef Martinez. I would love for them to miss the play offs. I find myself cheering against them and Seattle at every opportunity Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
