The day MLS realizes they can be a profitable, selling league is the day the US takes the next step in soccer.
they seem to be in the beginning stages of working towards this with the under 22 initiative starting next year allowing teams to bring on relatively expensive youth prospects with a reduced hit to the cap
The club has 2 more option years on his contract. If they get $8-10 million they’ll pull the trigger. Almost a guarantee it’ll be Italy.
Classic holding 6. Seems to drop back between the CBs quite a bit. Good defender. Good reading the game. Will make all the simple passes perfect every time but won’t try the difficult one.ls often. Solid on the ball. Won’t beat defenders in the open field. Just a really promising 6.
100%. Much more refined in his short passing, defensive actions, and on ball skills. Biggest downfall I see is Trapp will hit those long diagonals to unlock and attack/counter and I have seen that in Johns game yet.
should’ve had an assist after making a great run and lay off he’s on the pitch with dembele, semedo, and a few other senior players so it isn’t just all youths out there with kdlf
him and sergiño on the same side would be something i’d very much like to see Spoiler for club and country
think this came out kinda recently indicating barça were interested in dest again barça peeps on here would probably know more if there’s any validity to it
With Konrad’s emergence at Barca it is entirely conceivable and maybe even pretty realistic that by next year, 9 of our potential best/starting 11 are 22 or younger. Sargent CP Reyna Konrad Wes Adams Dest Richards-probably the biggest stretch here Cannon We’ve been talking about it for several years but it seems we’re really starting to see the effects of the European pipeline for our prospects.
Kayo might be a guy that we should be more excited about. He JUST turned 18 and he straight up skipped the U19’s for Wolfsburg and is supposedly one of the best players for their U23’s. Even McKennie spent a year on Schalke’s U19 team.
