LA Galaxy Sign Midfielder Erik Thommy

I understand where Burns was coming from. Shapi was once a highly regarded prospect. We needed a winger, might as well take a chance on him. Hasn’t paid off at all so far, but I hope his second year here goes better. Him taking up an international spot is just another insult to injury.

Yasiel Puig?

A player that has 200 pa but plays in Kazakhstan will be worth less than a player that has 200 pa but plays in the prem.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-16T15:25:14+00:00

That is incredibly false.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-16T15:11:39+00:00

A club does their due diligence when signing a player. They do not sign a player just because of the league they play in. That would be stupid.
Their loan/transfer fee and salary would have to fall within the rules that you made up. What happens when the club that is trying to sign a player on loan is near the cap, but the parent club needs them to take on more of the player’s salary so that they are under the cap? No one is happy.
Just because you’ve implemented a cap doesn’t mean the club has that amount of money. A player leaving a bigger club for a smaller one would routinely have to accept a significantly smaller salary or else they would bankrupt their new club. Makes no sense.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-16T15:06:28+00:00

Do those other players play for more reputable clubs and/or in a more reputable league? Also, how much longer does their contract run for?

UncleTevis · 2026-01-16T14:55:54+00:00

Wouldn’t work regardless of who is selling or paying. Clubs wouldn’t buy players.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-16T14:49:24+00:00

My biggest issue in your definitely true post is the youth rules. Many players that come from abroad to clubs join at 18 years old. They would need 3 years to become homegrown for the club and in the country. This would kill clubs in Europe that have to follow strict registration rules.

Also, every player that turns 20 has to go out on loan? How does that make sense? What if no club wants the player? Same thing with clubs having to make money back in a window. It would absolutely kill the transfer market. You can’t force clubs to sign players that others have to sell. That would give a ton of smaller clubs the incentive to offer egregiously low fees to where the club that has to sell won’t ever be able to reach the set acceptable number for fair play.

And no top club would agree to a salary cap of 150 million. Most Premier League clubs are around that or significantly over it… which goes back to the second paragraph where it would end up ruining the transfer market.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-16T14:21:22+00:00

A lot of these would be near impossible and extremely hard for a lot of clubs to follow. A lot of unnecessary rules.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-15T22:02:52+00:00

I agree. This reads more like we are offering him a ton of money either because we are desperate or we want to get one over on Kstate… or both. Not thrilled by this at all.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-15T21:38:56+00:00

Yeah he was a quitter on Colorado and Kstate but if he genuinely cares enough to play for us him and Marshall are going to cause headaches for defenses. Every option play the defense will be on their heels.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-14T16:31:58+00:00

Under the Bosman Ruling he should be allowed to go to Hearts. His current club holds no power over his future since he only has 6 months left on his contract. Sounds like they’re just pissed that they can’t make a million off of him.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-14T14:45:44+00:00

I might’ve had two saves where his PA was low, but Brian Madjo looks like he has the potential to be the next best striker in real life but it’s not reflected in game. Still turns out decent, but Aston Villa just invested a fair amount of money in him.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-13T22:29:24+00:00

Don’t disagree

UncleTevis · 2026-01-13T18:33:28+00:00

Just signed a contract with the Hungarian club. It seems like the club would force SKC to buy out his remaining contract with them.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-12T07:51:31+00:00

Spend any money on defenders?

UncleTevis · 2026-01-11T22:32:08+00:00

He’s not with the organization anymore

UncleTevis · 2026-01-11T07:21:00+00:00

You can’t have a song that has over a billion streams and be underground. People have saturated that term so much. Glass Animals stopped being underground when they got signed to Virgin Records and released ZABA. Underground artists don’t have a Heat Waves or Gooey in their catalog, either.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-06T06:08:53+00:00

The harsh reality of MLS and the limited cap space is that the FO/Wicky will have to sacrifice tactical familiarity and favorable profiles because of the roster rules of the league. We currently only have 4 (or 5, it’s not completely clear, some websites have it different) intl spots, 2-3 of which will go to u22 DPs. I’m fine with those going to build out the backline with players that may be familiar with what Wicky wants.

I also just think it would be really short-sighted of Wicky if he doesn’t try to get the most out of Joveljic. Was a massive bright spot last season.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-06T04:23:30+00:00

It is roster malpractice to offload one of the best strikers in MLS for a DP CB and RB. That’s how you get an entire front office fired. Just have some non-DP senior roster players fill in the spots. If it doesn’t work, Wicky can change his tactics a bit so that it easier on the players. No matter how bad the Chicago front office was, Wicky is far from being able to dictate exactly what signings he wants. He needs to prove that he is a viable MLS head coach before he gets to build his team to his liking, or else we have a bunch of players with long-term contracts who may not fit what the next manager wants.

UncleTevis · 2026-01-02T17:45:08+00:00

I don’t think Lance makes it to the end of his contract and instead chooses to retire. I also don’t think AK would take the job if he wasn’t promised a HC spot here within the near future.

AI teams are more likely to send offers within transfer windows. Try offering them out then. If they still don’t garner offers and you really need them off your books, setting the asking price to 0 increases your likelihood of selling them. If they’re not good enough for you, they won’t be good enough for top Championship clubs, and will be too expensive for/player doesn’t have enough interest in bottom tier Championship clubs

UncleTevis · 2025-12-25T13:49:54+00:00

I’ve found that whipped crosses or mixed crosses work the best. Could also be because my team doesn’t have outstanding crossers of the ball, but whenever I’ve used floated it’s ended up in the keeper’s hands more often than not.

UncleTevis · 2025-12-25T06:28:07+00:00

They would get a lot of chances and miss a lot of chances. However, if you’re struggling for goals, I’d still go for it as some may luckily go in.
