...and they said he was going to come to MLS for peanuts for the opportunity to play against the GOAT.


Ronaldo and the Saudi's:
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

Okay my image didn't work, but it was something along the lines of how much is enough, or is there even a concept of enough..

Eriq Zavaleta LA Galaxy Center-back $194,000.00 $198,311.00

My takes:
- Get rid of JMac...that kind of coin for a backup keeper is ridiculous.
- Fagundez....his price always bothered me. I wish we could trade him. (no disrespect, but his salary is sky high for being a sub, and sometimes starter....and his production is average IMHO)
- Zanka making more than Maya.....Kuntz must have really thought Zanka was the answer to Maya's wheels coming off. .....and to think how our center backs would be if we didn't move Jalen Neal.
- Paintsil almost twice as much as Pec.

IMHO there is a significant amount of issues with both $$$$ and quality on this roster.
Offseason / this summer's window should be a "Bring out yer dead" time for Kuntz.

RUMOR: Brazilian Club, Palmeiras are once again interested in Gabriel Pec. In addition to Ramon Sosa, who they already have negotiations with, Palmeiras has asked about the conditions of Gabriel Pec. Palmeiras wants two wingers for the next season. Gabriel Pec is a long-standing dream of the committee and board. [ diegofirminomv @tvespiritode...
