    2 of last 3 at CR and Mex could be rough. Hopefully we are already qualified by then.

    Agent: Reggie, there’s been a big offer from a Russian club but do you want to play in front of a bunch of racists that hate you?

    Reggie: I play in Texas

    Agent: Touché

    The guy who runs that acct was on the local soccer radio talk show (yes there is one) on Saturday and said he can’t name the French team but that they are more likely than Barnsley to get Reggie.

    In the end, PV will go down as one of the USMNT most important influencers. Between the pre-90 work in Spain, the 90 World Cup, launch of the MLS, transitioning from MLS Cup winning player (DotY) to MLS Cup winning coach (only man in history to do it at one franchise), And in the end, PV, Lagerwey, DonG. They’ve directed American soccer for years. And when push comes to shove, PV has always been the loudest voice.

    Wes is great but he’s not at that level. I’d be stunned if he gets any minutes with their squad.

    To be fair, people(me included) said Pulisic to Chelsea wasn't the move.

    Maybe this move pushes Wes to take the next step as a player

    There’s irony in a lot of US fans whining about players staying in MLS and not challenging themselves, and then whining when a player joins an ambitious club to challenge themselves.

    If you’re a first team player, I don’t see any harm in challenging yourself. Even if you “fail”, you’ll have opportunities elsewhere.

    Yep and it’s still a loan for the 1st year. If Juve doesn’t want to buy him, a good resume builder for Schalke to still sell him the following season.

    Matuidi, Pjanic, Muratore all gone with Arthur in. Plus they could be unloading Khedira and/or Ramsey.

    I don't think it's whining. people just want to see the kid succeed and are nervous he's making a mistake.

    I've ridden the roller coaster of emotions when hearing the Wes news going from "wow, that's incredible" to "wait, will he even play" and now to "shit, maybe this is fucking awesome."

    I'm glad it's just a 1 year loan 2 years before the next WC. If it goes poorly he can just go back to Schalke next year. If it goes well though then it could really improve his game.

    It’ll be a challenge but I’m fairly optimistic even though I don’t think he’ll be more than a spot starter.

    I do think there’s something to him looking less impressive offensively than he really is because he was on a team that as a whole was completely inept in the other end.

    If they get relegated I would think they'd be even more desperate to sell him.
