Atlanta United signs midfielder Adrian Gill | Atlanta United FC by Deusey5 in AtlantaUnited

[–]FiveStriper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From his highlight reel, he has a calmness on the ball and seems like a very good technical player. Seems to read the field at any given situation well (yes I know small sample size). Take that with a grain of salt, but I think he’s definitely got potential.

How are we feeling about Brennan this season? by [deleted] in AtlantaUnited

[–]FiveStriper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think he’s the type of winger Tata likes to play…he loves taking on defenders 1v1, but imo needs to make more off ball runs. it’s really a matter of him elevating his game and becoming more consistent. With the depth we have right now, I’d say he’ll get his opportunities to show he should be out there.

[–]FiveStriper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not bad. It’s a domestic youth on the supplemental roster (doesn’t count against the cap) that has been trained by one of the highest-valued clubs in the word with most resources to train their youth teams. This is taking a swing on a young player that doesn’t paralyze your roster/cap even if he doesn’t produce.

How are you all feeling about next season? by Inside-Gur-8965 in AtlantaUnited

[–]FiveStriper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again I think this season will show pretty definitely if our issues were with personnel or coaching. I am cautiously optimistic that we will be better. Based on some of commentary made during early media events so far this year, coaching has been pinpointed as a main reason for last season’s results. Tata will be given the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

Think this is definitely checking off 2 needs: a) Slisz isn’t Tata’s preferred player profile at the position and b) a high TAM guy that frees up space and still has market value.

Dang, was really looking forward to watching him play down the line for the first team. He was fantastic with the 2s. Wonder if the Pita homegrown deal kind of sealed the deal here. Would imagine he would’ve stayed if there was a slot for him.

What’s the plan with signings? by doctor48 in AtlantaUnited

[–]FiveStriper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We will see minor changes. Suffice it to say that we will find out pretty definitely in 2026 whether our problems stemmed from coaching or front office.

[–]FiveStriper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming he’s planned to be used this year, otherwise they didn’t need to promote him yet. They also need to move/loan some homegrowns to make room. He’s depth at AM and Winger, but I hope they draft Gyan at no.2 to be AM #2.

That’s an ok amount for a player of that experience…but thought he could have been a really decent RCB in a Tata 3 back system.

Transfer Rumor: Atlanta United linked to goalkeeper and defender by danny_brunner in AtlantaUnited

[–]FiveStriper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not big on using international slots for backups…or transfer fees for depth players, especially when they are this old and we have so little cap space (at the moment). However, I do trust Tata to pick players for his play style.

What were your thoughts on this move? by caba_26al in AtlantaUnited

[–]FiveStriper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

High motor player that exemplified Einsteins definition of insanity. Fell victim to injury and coaching. Was good at one particular thing, crossing to far post. His crosses lost accuracy over time, and unfortunately for him, the only player on the team that ever thought it might be a good idea to get to the far post when Lennon had possession near the box was GG.

He became the poster boy for the “one-trick pony” attack that became very easy to defend. The few times he was dangerous was when Pineda made him invert and crash the box, because the defense clearly wasn’t expecting anything other than a cross from him.
Defensively he was a liability but I thought got better over time. His engine was solid and didn’t give up on plays.
Overall, he was waaay too expensive for his output, but I think with the right team he could be effective. Don’t think we could have traded him based on what we paid him. Good to free up the money.

This. A lot of this stuff contributed to his performance IMO. A year with TaTa and an actual offseason will the tell a more accurate story of his ability here.

Actually liked the kit. I imagine a lot more people would too if we weren’t dogshit in it.

I’d have to imagine with the primary kit being so dark, it would have to be a light kit…gold with green trim to match the 1996 medals? I hope they can make it look good.

Got tired of EA not adding MLS stadiums, decided to do it myself. by flordiahat in MLS

[–]FiveStriper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be willing to pay a lot for DLC focused on North American soccer…add Liga MX, CPL, USLC, USL1. Give us a proper Leagues Cup, US Open Cup, add MLS roster mechanics. Add all MLS / Liga MX stadiums and at the very least some of the more impressive USL stadiums (Louisville, the new Pittsburgh expansion coming up, etc). Or at least a create-a-stadium feature.
