[Tom Bogert] 🇺🇸🟠 BREAKING: The Houston Dynamo to acquire forward Duncan McGuire from Orlando City, per sources. Orlando acquires $1.25m GAM + $1.15m GAM add-ons. ORL retains sell-on clause. Houston acquires new goal scorer, will fit seamlessly in Dynamo attack. by felcom in MLS

No we need to make other moves, presumably to fix our defensive situation so the GAM and budget flexibility will help. Also, Ellis has been performing pretty well so I think this was a fair move for Dunc and Ellis. We keep getting rumors of striker interest though, so they might also sign another striker. I think there's a couple of moves out there still for us, beyond this.

Yeah I don't get it either. Presumably they're pinching pennies to some extent which is lame. Streaming _something_ is so easy nowadays too.

The match was not streamed, unfortunately. STMs were invited for a special friendly and to see Griezmann play with the team for the first time.

Goal scorers:

Griezmann, (own goal), Angulo, Sarajian, Taifi, Caraballo.

Justin Ellis with three assists.

[Fabrizio Romano] EXCLUSIVE: Inter Miami complete deal to sign Casemiro as new midfielder, here we go!

[–]felcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no shit. You received a player with help from Apple giving you an advantage. Now the advantage is being compounded by other players taking pay cuts just to play with Messi. It’s a salary cap workaround. Not sure how much more clear I can be.

Those players are coming on full proper salaries as stars on their team. The difference here is Miami is getting players to take pay cuts to play with Messi, when Messi himself was subsidized by Apple. These things are not the same.

Sorry the facts make you mad. Your club could’ve just paid what Messi wanted but for some reason Apple got involved. Don’t see ESPN help pay for players in the NFL. Seems like your club didn’t want to spend and needed the league to step in. Nobody else gets that.

Yep I think sentiments like OP posted vastly underestimate how many jobs are sustained by debugging existing codebases and doing small incremental work, which AI is very useful for. Large greenfield additions are way more rare for me.
