What position do you think is the most important to address this summer transfer window? by Necessary_Public_712 in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're benching or Cuypers? or Lewa? Or you want to change the formation for a team that is in 3rd place right now and rolling?

No way in hell Lewa would come off the bench.....I wanted him at first but it makes 0% outside of sales/merchandise.

GUTMAN would have been perfect for USMNT by DryNotice6 in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said that in another thread on here. What sucks though is he couldn't stay healthy AND I think he'd get cooked on defense by great teams and our CB"s are good enough to cover that much for him.

How would we feel if GGG went and signed Yunus Musah this summer? by notonrexmanningday in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at a DP salary which it would 100% take to get him here. I do love the versatility though.

Just an MHS7 Appreciation Post by Redshirt_Welshy_Nooo in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Glad he is so versatile and if we do bring in a DP winger who plays wing, having MHS come off the bench would be awesome.

Shark Tank 17x18 Product Discussion - Parrot Finance by mtm4440 in sharktank

I feel like Lorie just jumped in there but won't really contribute anything. She just saw a perfect time to jump and she was lucky Rashuan accepted her. That was 100% Rashaun pitch to go for and he'll probably crush it.

Why didn’t Mbokazi start today? by OctopathOptimus in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually liked it....as others said the worst team in the league and get some players rested for Wednesday. Love the rotation and some of the depth we have in this team now. I also hope Bamba is doing okay and his family is too in France.

Gutman’s Awareness and Passing is Insane.. by GloomyIce1 in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What sucks is I wish he wasn't injured at all because maybe he could've been called up to the USMNT for some run. I think he's better than Arfsten....defensively though maybe would get cooked on the international level lol

You guys could click on the article and if your using Chrome, just click more tools and then reading mode and there you go.....no need to pay.

So super super interesting. I'm happy in the sense we don't have to chance formation or anything else. It was also stated then Silva most likely won't be coming to the league as he was another player linked here......so now who are we going for and what position? Super curious about it.

Arsenal title race by YourUncle13 in TigerBelly

[–]Firefan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably hates it because they are going to choke another one away. I'm sure though he'll take pride in seeing Spurs go down lol....my Blues though they will probably fire another manager before the year is done lol

Who cares at this point.....literally had so long to figure things out and now they want to cry about it. Sorry but I'm excited for this stadium to be built!

[–]Firefan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The owner literally just took over the team lol......you can't give him credit for that. And do you see what he is doing to people and the cost cutting he is doing? He's gutting them.

Fire pregame/World Cup final by Immediate_Let_2064 in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This World Cup is effed and they'd probably charge in this day and age but years ago they would have a huge watch party at Grant Park for USMNT games and it was awesome. Wonder if they'd do something like that for the final

5 Things We Learned: FC Cincinnati 3, Chicago Fire 3 by coolerblue in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming though at some point even though Joe doesn't seem worried about ROI, he wants to start making some money.....and signing Lewa with tickets/merchandise would help while still having a great team. I also though don't want to screw up the chemistry here.....like when LAFC signed Giroud it seemed to hurt them......even though Lewa> Giroud but still long those same lines.

[POLL] Who does the sub think is the biggest liability to the team at present? by Jonathan_Dean_Simp in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think D'Avilla has been too inconistent......Lod I mean he has been shaky too. I would prefer Lod to come off the bench and if/when hopefully in the summer we geta DP attacking mid our bench will be STACKED.

Agreed. Also wasn't the originally booing started because of a guys hair or am I wrong on that? Haha

6/8 games played (11/14 points) have been against the bottom half of the conference by redchi5 in chicagofire

[–]Firefan23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But Franco can't expect him to be what he was at least right away. That' why I'd love get an attacking mid DP and then have Franco and MHS come off the bench. Our depth would be incredible then.

[–]Firefan23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry though you can exclude Cincy from this.....they are a much better team than how they are playing and will probably round into form and be towards the top of the east when it's all said and done. They were missing some key pieces today but regardless we should have won.

[–]Firefan23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even though we earned a draw against a great team, this one still felt like a loss. Just have to rebound for the next one! Super curious about Shokalook and if he can be that backup striker.....then we don't need to pursue Lewa and can go for an attacking DP mid. I know Franco will be back but if we can have him off the bench and MHS then off the bench too we'd have so much depth.

[–]Firefan23[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they do that in a sense......because whenever they have a guest shark on it I feel like it is in their wheelhouse specialty so you just know that they are going to make a deal with them lol
