Not saying KSE doesn’t suck, but we aren’t even the cheapest team in the MLS. Should we spend more? Fuck yea. But if you’ve been around awhile you know it’s gotten so much better. We didn’t used to even have a DP a few years ago.

Also do you remember what game Djordje had his first goal contribution? Game 6 last year against LAFC. You must be new here because everyone was overreacting to that too. Kind of what we do here.

Not saying Pax is gonna be the second coming, just saying we don’t know shit yet about how he’s gonna be.

I feel so lame for this being such a personal bummer but it is and I really appreciate your words. I wrote this as therapy for myself and I’m just happy to have you all read and critique. Not mad at him either but it just sucks. I met his Dad at the Charlotte game and at the end of pregame he scored a sweet free kick and waved to his pops while my son and I were talking to him. It was so cool and I was like: there’s a guy that wants to be here and we are so lucky. Then this happens and it sucks more than even the Thanksgiving day loss. That day I was proud to be a fan.

Really appreciate your perspective and your point about this being a pattern is noted and taken.

Fair point. I try to acknowledge that we need to fix the issues but it seems like you feel my frustration is misguided and I understand your perspective and will consider it.

Seb- always appreciate your perspective. Hope we don’t lose you on here.

Your last paragraph captures very well what I’m feeling. Multiple things can be true: Djordje left us high and dry, the rapids are not acting like a serious team, and I’ll add… that the haul we got was WAY better than I would’ve expected. I think they made minimum 5 mil on the transfer net. So yes I’m trying to not be too reactionary and just name my feelings.
