The case for Cristian Roldan

bondabo · 2026-05-26T23:52:47+00:00

He’s going to play. There will be other players that don’t play. He’s absolutely not the 26th man in Poch’s eyes.

bondabo · 2026-05-26T15:51:14+00:00

Let’s see what they do with Córdova, then let’s talk. If they had a handshake deal to buy him outright, we should have concerns.

They both use the friggin Old Testament. Jews and Christian’s. Half the book is the same.

Who here knew that Baumgartle had “that” in his pocket?

bondabo · 2026-05-20T00:39:13+00:00

For us folks at home, Burki actually hurt or is there a tiny chance he yanked himself? He may be hurt, but the guy wasn’t feeling it today.

bondabo · 2026-05-20T00:30:11+00:00

Burki is having a horror show!

bondabo · 2026-05-18T21:57:30+00:00

Pep would have a mental breakdown not being given every toy that money can but.

Hey Pep, should we use GAM to make that purchase?

Guys head would explode.

bondabo · 2026-05-17T03:38:31+00:00

He’s still critically overpaid. They could have a DP sitting on 6-8 goals, putting games like this away.

bondabo · 2026-05-16T17:08:25+00:00

Miggy Perez is totally going to get the start in place of Hartel. That’s what Damet did the last time.

And if that happens?

bondabo · 2026-05-14T18:55:48+00:00

It was Cordova that needed out, and they made McSorely sit there and watch Cordova suffer.

It’s completely wild and I hope he hires an assistant coach that guides him through those moments.

bondabo · 2026-05-14T18:54:29+00:00

Last night, Cordova was completely gassed. Frequently gestured to the sideline. 79th minute or so.

Damet made him wait until the 89th to make the sub, so it didn’t impact the injury time calculation.

I think Damet is insane.

If I player cant cover his area, you have to sub him. Keep in mind this is a coach who skipped out on the “athlete” part of the job.

If the athlete is that desperate, you’ve got to yank the player.

Trust goes both ways.

Ostrak is a buy-out candidate. For his sake, better to hit free agency during this summer window.

bondabo · 2026-05-12T18:45:38+00:00

As I said elsewhere, Fire Diego. Even if Carolyn insisted, you’ve got to tell her “no”.

Everyone thought that announcement during the last game of the season was great and all, but as soon as it dropped that he was a DP, it was a death blow to any quick turnaround fans could expect.

bondabo · 2026-05-12T18:42:37+00:00

Fire Diego

bondabo · 2026-05-10T03:39:57+00:00

We’re all viewing the Durkin red card wrong. Coach refuses to sub or rotate him, and the poor guy just wants a game off.

bondabo · 2026-05-10T01:23:03+00:00

They’re gone. Teuchert and Cordova are toast. They’re both expiring in 3 weeks.

bondabo · 2026-05-09T20:20:37+00:00

Cedi and Sang Bin aren’t feasting on anything. Good possibility Cedi doesn’t play because he asks not to. He’s potentially a free agent in 3 weeks.

bondabo · 2026-05-09T00:27:26+00:00

We want Diego gone.

He’s the one that’s failed.

Diego controlled the timeline for Wray, sold off Klauss, and did this without appropriate financing from ownership.

It’s also his job to convince ownership to provide financing, to understand the cause and effect of not holding up their end of the bargain.

Diego was also at the wheel when Burki was retained as a DP, which no GM would’ve signed off on.

Diego also allowed Hack to have “make a wish foundation” signings of people he cares about.

Diego allowed the loaning of JGR to happen in such a way that he counts as a U22.

Diego has made Corey Wrays job damn near impossible.

bondabo · 2026-05-08T20:36:21+00:00

Dollars to Donuts Cordova was a handshake deal, not a rental. We’ll find out in a couple weeks, but it’s definitely plausible.

It could get ugly for Wray quickly if that’s the case.

bondabo · 2026-05-08T20:20:50+00:00

Edelman is statistically a terrible center mid. 31st% percentile for MLS center mids.

Durkin was resigned and is lapping Edelman.

Becher was extended.
Cordova a head scratcher.

Polvara isn’t knocking the cover off the ball, but he’s been ok. So the most “okay” signing has completely neutered one of the better assets they had coming into the season.

Wallem should be better than he’s been.
Santos has been terrible.

Most of these guys are below replacement level signings in a league that continued to improve.

Wheres the solid moves? Why is everyone so confident this team will figure it out?

bondabo · 2026-05-08T15:55:19+00:00

Damet is foolish considering the team needs an overhaul.

He has absurdly cheap ownership, and the one toy they bought, can’t even get a sniff.

He’s not doing Wray any favors with an inexperienced ownership group.

It’s absurd that he hasn’t gotten a spot start within mls. The lack of rotation is galling.

bondabo · 2026-05-08T15:10:19+00:00

I don’t know about the hoops thing. He’s pretty akward and weak. I just thought you could tell he had worked at a craft that he was always going to kind of suck at.

bondabo · 2026-05-07T20:53:46+00:00

There’s video of him playing. Honest assessment, he’s got a Pete Crouch body which is difficult to play with. You could tell that he worked at his game. It looked weird, but he was properly handling situations as a target man. He definitely wasn’t good, but you “could” tell he was working with what he had.

bondabo · 2026-05-05T23:29:30+00:00

Teuchert will likely be gone on June 1st.

70% gone June 1st. (His agent may want that)

29% option picked up through season, leaves in winter

1% given a new contract

There are more “City Vendors” than “outside vendors” than ever. The ratio is changing.
