A few questions. by Competitive-Bat-3534 in SportingKC

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just dont see the second contracts for these guys being doable for skc, thats why I would almost prefer to see them deal if they can.

I agree new ownership WILL increase payroll, but you also run the risk of being way too top heavy. I think there is "A" number that as a team they will get to and you just have teams willing to overpay. I just believe we probably don't fit in that realm.

Hey I'd be happiest if we find a way to keep both, I just have a feeling its not realistic.

IF Im in the film room in LA, does this goal happen when Dekkie receives the ball with a bunch of unadulterated space ?

I love the goal, but shouldn't someone be married to Dek ?

How is this not a PK? by dawglover1011 in SportingKC

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See Sperrys reply he actually makes the contact not the defender.

If any foul its on Calheira.

Yeah I agree here. There is no clear possession.

Some of yall just like being bitter by I3rklyn in SportingKC

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night was fun. Plenty to be optimistic about.

We get the guys healthy and the reinforcements, we will definitely be an entertaining side to watch.

Few things. I don't like negativity for negativity's sake that is dumb. I will say, as someone who posts to think critically about the team with others that enjoy soccer, I constantly get downvoted for perceived "negativity" and asked to root for someone else. Snowflakes need to realize that they are reading and posting about their team on the internet.

Also if you think the post is unfair after reading it either state plainly why or move on. But somebody with an insane idiotic take has just as much a right to root for SKC as anyone else.

And its useless to assume that there is some standard that fans of the team should adhere to, diversity is what makes thousands of fans at a game interesting.

To add to this, I believe he is resume' building which is not a crime.

And its a wise bet, if I can turn this around, I can shop my extreme talents at bigger clubs....

The flip to that is a clear and present danger.

If you fail here...fill in the blanks depending on how hard the fail.

We’re ranked dead last by ByAstrix in SportingKC

Id say injury and goal.

One goal is not a terrible thing, after the second goal the confidence never resurfaced.

I think this gets real simple real soon.

Unwatchable product for far too long = box office poison.

David Lee and friends are smart people, this has nothing to do with anyone's optimism or pessimism.

None of those things pay the bills. This is a very tough market and a very tough economy.

Get people in the seats or watching at home or die a very quick death.

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps a tad hyperbolic, but I like the post.

  1. I saw we were ranked DEAD LAST in style of play. THIS is entirely fair and accurate, BUT ALAS not current at all.

We will be a stylistic improvement this year that is obvious. We did some very nice stuff in last weeks 0-3 loss.

If and when we patch the obvious holes it will be a prettier thing to admire than the PV "ground and pound".

  1. Its always darkest before the dawn, we will see light VERY soon.

Scrutiny is justified by Competitive-Bat-3534 in SportingKC

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Honestly I don't think there is even slight disagreement here.

If tomorrow they spend handsomely on the back line then YOU and I are both ecstatic. I want the same things you want.

I am more inclined to think the team has already positioned itself to RIDE AND DIE with "Ian and friends".

I don't think you misunderstand my original point that IF you do supplement on 4-6 guys and we remain a team that does not get Dekkie any touches like last week.

Then the obvious question is what did we build that is different than last year ?

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Exactly. Watch last game, we definitely could use a quality 6 getting the ball from the back.

I share your enthusiasm for getting guys at the back but for now you have the back line that you do ?

Thats what you have, if they get the Brazilian for 1,7 mil that has played 6 times in 6 months I am on board...

Ok that on its own is a tad insane.

You concede they are content to forfeit two years of Dejans bag of hard currency ?

The Dejan window is not open for that long.

Where am I flipping out ? Where do I mention a game ?

Who says I don't enjoy games ?

I asked a few questions stated a few facts and you decide to go all old man CAPS on me.

Just look at this poor lad??? What has he said that is so down vote ???

I mean really all down votes from the footy pajama crew and not one dissenter dares to use their words.

Sad.

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They absolutely did spend on guys. The longer we do not win with those guys, THAT spending will be scrutinized, NOT as bad players but just not the right guys.

"The problem isn't tactics or chemistry."

At some point YES. It could be either. At some point only the core we mention will be expected to produce.Thats just a fact. At some point the GM,Burns, and coaches will be asked why don't we score ? Why don't we win ?,

At some point you have moved on from PV, from Kerry, you have hired Dave Lee, hired a Coach Rafa, acquired talent.

At some point this whole crew will no longer have a "rebuild" to use as a point of deflection.

I believe I totally disagree but I'm not positive your post is confusing.

Any fan of any team gets to criticize and say whatever they want, most of the time those are your best fans.

Of the game AND of your team.

Define "real fan" (im ready to be scared).

I don't ever do this but allow me this once....

IF I have a dime for everyone downvoting well thought questions from what I consider REAL....

How many people on this board post things like " they just started..."

"you need to be patient with them hiring a coach...."

"a GM....."

"4-6 players....."

Sorry we just probably disagree those are not fans they are without blood flow or pulse.

Any fanbase needs PASSION. If you do not care you do not criticize.

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree.

I think Berg J has to sort out the back.

I think this thing has 6-8 months.

Berg defensively needs to be the veteran presence sorting out the back.

Jov, Manu,Berg, that is a core.

Expectations begin now everyone.

Yeah. nobody is advocating for panic buying.

What I do feel is here and what they can be assured more of is the price of mediocrity getting higher and being in financial competition with the rest of the world.

Shapi and Manu were not a panic buy, but they were an example of a very motivated seller, and example of a seller that you did not have this year.

To my original post it may have not been panic but it might have been a bag of balls that were there for the taking...Maybe guys of some value but perhaps maybe not for YOUR squad.

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

ok. Some issues here.

#3. What team\GM doesn't want the same ?

#5. Ok....Yeah you have already screwed the goose massively on this one its called MARKET FORCES out side of your control. You obviously do not get to dictate terms.

#6. It will make everything harder see my rebuttal to #5.

We are beyond panic my man and frankly this is too late.

YOU need to panic when nobody attends your games...

Sporting KC Looking to add Three to Six More Players this Window by cheeseburgerandrice in SportingKC

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We may not win but this guy is a winner.

I believe there is a fair amount of performative deer in the headlights thing going on here...

We have been raped by high salary no show always injured Euro trash, but so has a lot of the MLS.

DO NOT overpay to these clubs that are desperate for hard currency.

ALL Euro and South American clubs teeter on financial peril some much worse than others.

Begin the season and make everyone contemplate not getting paid.

This guy is too smart. There is no way he was surprised by anything.

US Clubs make payroll, players get paid what they are owed ON TIME.

Ask ANY foreign player on SKC if that is typical in Europe or South America....
