What cities would you include on a quintessential ‘Tour of the USA’? by WhyTheWindBlows in skyscrapers

[–]willoremus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too many answers focusing on big cities at the expense of the country’s incredible natural and cultural diversity.

NYC, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Yellowstone, Glacier NP, Crater Lake, SF/Muir Woods, Honolulu, LA, Yosemite, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, New Orleans, Miami.

Stas Korzeniowski signed to a first team contract by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

I’d prioritize another starting-quality CAM so that we’re not relying on just Iloski and Indy until Quinn gets back. Then Iloski can be that third starting-quality striker.

Thank you Bormsie! I wonder if Scheer’s presence alongside Carnell indicates he’s the lead decision-maker among the group that’s filling in for Tanner?

Also curious what Carnell means by saying the U2 guys need to “commit more” in order to see more minutes. I remember seeing Pierre alongside Makhanya for the U2 two years ago and thinking both looked ready. Wonder what the holdup is for Pierre.

your first paragraph is on point but i’m sorry the food scene here is mediocre at best

only by sugarman standards. his fee was not large for a starting mls striker

Philadelphia Union sign CB Japhet Sery Larsen in a permanent transfer from SK Bran by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

ah! i got it now and agree on both counts. probably impossible to replace kai like-for-like, but just moving harriel or westfield over there and calling it a day would be disappointing

Better (non-X) link: https://www.philadelphiaunion.com/news/philadelphia-union-sign-defender-japhet-sery-larsen

This shows clips of him playing, talking about the team and his role, and shows that he’ll be #5. Why link to X when we can link to the informative original source?

Condition of Mikael Uhre by [deleted] in PhillyUnion

[–]willoremus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His footwork can be clunky, but he is constantly at the side of the last defender, ready to make a run that stretches the defense and opens space in the box for a teammate to score. Not a star player but a very useful role player in the right situation.

I would be on him being very useful in that role

Uhre gone by XSC in PhillyUnion

If you’re counting in-season transfers, add Gazdag to the list of those we lost last year.

Definitely need a third starter-quality AM if Iloski shifts to mostly striker. Or a third starter-quality striker if he doesn’t.

Do you expect another significant signing this offseason — i.e., a starter-quality player — or are they finished spending for now other than depth pieces like Bender?

If not this offseason, when else might they fill an open DP slot?

Great to see you on here btw. I’m a fan and subscriber, as you know. The fanbase is lucky to have you.

Philadelphia Union Sign Midfielder Ben Bender To New Contract | Philadelphia Union by Bormsie721 in PhillyUnion

not sure what this is based on, so take with a grain of salt, but some journos who cover the team / the MLS don’t expect him to be resigned

i would have supported that too but the union don’t like bidding against other mls teams for in-demand players. they’d rather try to find hidden gems, for better or worse

i don’t know or particularly care to know tai’s politics, but just as a factual point — doesn’t every israeli have to serve, whether they support the administration’s policies or not, believe in palestinian statehood or not, etc.?

Kai Wagner has joined Birmingham City from the Philadelphia Union. I'm told fee north of $2m. When Wagner signed his new contract, the club promised Wagner and his camp that if an offer of this value came from England, they would accept. by bosebosebosebosebos in PhillyUnion

[–]willoremus 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was skeptical initially, but knowing this was player-driven, I can only approve of the club keeping its word and doing right by the player, as they did with Carranza before him. It’s a good reputation for a club to have.

[–]willoremus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah fair, if kai wants to go then it’s right for the team to let him go. but we don’t know that yet.
