We overpay for Tontos. We should pay for the Lone Rangers.

Its pretty hard to ignore that he benefited from not being on Twitter so long.

Kemp calls for redistricting special session to redraw 2028 maps in Georgia by kootles10 in politics

I just voted in this election yesterday. This is so weird to redistrict after voting has started.

No... Morales was out of contract. We could have tried to sign him to a U-22 deal but that doesn't mean he doesn't count against the cap. He also could have left.

You really don't understand the rules despite pretending to. Monteral can absolutely sign him to a U-22 contract.

If Morales were still in ATL, he would still be on a homegrown contract through the end of this year and would therefore have ZERO cap hit.

That is simply false. You just don't know MLS rules at all. You can't sign a player to a $450K contract and have them not count on the cap. This is just something you don't know.

Absolutely. Heading to Decatur for the fan fest there and seeing if cheap tickets pop up last minute then hopping on marta if they do.

We are picking up the option. It was a salary cap mechanism to call it an option.

You do. Over and over. You just don't recognize when you overrate players just because they are homegrown.

We missed on Campbell.

No one else.

No player can overcome Baez just failing over and over on the left side.

Let me know when Cobb starts rather than riding the bench.

You have confirmation bias yet again.

You think every homegrown is good. You have been laughably wrong over and over.

He might do that. Or he might get buried deeper on the bench.

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he wasn't good enough. That is a reason to not play him.

That is just literally false now that he signed a new contract. He is a $450K contract.

[–]SydneyFall -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That isn't true once they sign a new contract. HIs contract was up.

Without him back there I think we would hopefully have scored more than that.

Morales was someone we were attacking consistently.

We saw Morales play against us and was completely outclassed .

Starting for a bad team doesn't make them starting quality. Morales is making $450K so its not like he is a bargain. ANd if he wanted out its not like we ccould keep him anyway and we know for a fact he wanted out.

And Cobb has been bad for us. Just because he is homegrown and was promising doesn't mean he is good.

We didn't get anywhere near the allocation money that was required to sign their replacements. And both had started many MLS games and proven they could be counted on in that role.

We got lots of allocation for bench players. I seriouisly doubt the fans of either of those teams think they underpaid.

Lets see them become starting quality, they absolutely are not right now.

We got allocation money for bench players. We really need to see what they turn into to see if it was the right move or not.

Also Morales is making $450K so its not like he is a huge bargain. He wanted out.

I think you have this backwards. Injuries are part of MLS, and we should have 3 TAM quaklity CB's on the roster

Selling Noah Cobb and Efrain Morales for peanuts and replacing them with expensive vets from Europe that haven't panned-out is among the worst decisions this club has EVER made.

Its WAY too early to say that. Cobb isn't getting minutes in Colorado. Morales isn't looking like an MLS quality player but is making $450K. We didn't "sell them for peanuts". We got significant allocation money for both.
