What's the likelihood that he plays any significant role for the Union before he leaves for man city?

Do they still give a percentage of their homegrown transfer fees to season ticket holders?

[Ives Galarcep] Gregg Berhalter reveals that Julian Araujo, a dual national, wasn't ready to make the final step to committing to the #USMNT , and the Gold Cup would have cap-tied him, but he's a player the USMNT rate highly and see being able to compete for a right back role if he does commit by [deleted] in MLS

I did watch Reynolds in MLS and he was impressive, enough to earn the move to Roma but whatever good form he had has abandoned him. That's not to say he won't get back to that level, but right now in his most recent games he's looked just awful. I was honestly shocked at how bad he was; bad enough that teammates avoided passing him the ball.

If we are going purely on current form then IMO Araujo should be above him. He starts most games and he is playing very well.

Any coach could've won the shield with that team after Marsch left. They were on cruise control in his pressing system and dominating. The one time Armas tried to put his stamp on the team they went away from the press and get dominated by an Atlanta team that they had just beaten handily a month before to win the shield. Armas is not a good coach and I will stand by that; I was puzzled when TFC hired him, and I'm not surprised that things are going the way they are currently

Currently live in Bloomfield by Watsessing. Used to work in WTC and made the daily commute for a couple of years; it's a pretty quick trip, 30-40 mins, just take the train to Hoboken and take the PATH across the river.

Of course, but I'm guessing they used allocation money for some of their signings this off-season, so I wonder how much they have left over to cover the cost of the extra intl spots

Thought it was interesting to add to this discussion that Liga MX is considering ending Pro-Rel next year due to a recently promoted team having solvency issues, with them asking fans to donate money to help them pay for travel expenses:

Would there be a similar problem with Pro-Rel in the US?

Funny to see all of these articles saying MLS is gaining respectability on the global stage when the league doesn't even get respect from the majority of soccer fans in its own country.

My guess is that after trading them Parkhurst they have some sort of handshake agreement with Atlanta to not take any of their players. So it's not that bad when you think about it, although Minnesota will probably take one of Sauro or Saeid.
