This is the problem with MLS… the MLS pundits, media, and homers think that there is only one way to build an MLS team… that’s also the reason that the MLS will always be a cellar dweller league. I applaud Zoran for trying something different, if Arriola and Machis were on this team then we’d be the talk of the town. The style of play (and not having relegation with the USL) is what’s holding the MLS back. Charlotte will continue to pull numbers because eventually this style of play will pay off. Hell, New England won the Supporters Shield last year and they can’t even pull. We will be fine after a couple of transfer windows.

Here for another 10 days.

It’s official!

Excited about this, Jones is a big bodied defensive midfielder that eats up space and turns defense into offense rather quickly. I’d love to see a 4-3-3 with: GK: Khalina LB: Armour LCB: Fuchs RCB: Corujo RB: Lindsey CDM: Jones CM: Franco CAM: Bender LW: Ortiz CF: Swiderski RW: Jozwiak

That .929 save % is looking solid. On the other hand, LaFontaine’s .887 looks horrible.

Only seven more wins and you match last seasons total!

I personally don’t think Tepper is involved in any of the personnel decisions regarding Charlotte FC, he’s treating this franchise much more like a hobby than a business and letting the actual professionals run it. Sure we are struggling out of the gate but a lot of that is out of the teams control. We were closing in on USMNT winger Paul Arriola before we were beat out by FC Dallas. We also had agreed to terms with Darwin Machis who would have been a top five player in the MLS before it was revealed that he was ironing out some legal issues in Europe. If those two deals don’t fall through then this team looks a lot different. I think the fans recognize that the team is truly trying and the support matches that.

Charlotte falls to the L.A. Galaxy 1-0.

We haven’t been bad overall, it’s still a bend but don’t break mentality but as we acquire more talent up top that should change.

Hell of a half for Jaylin Lindsey.

Place is absolutely packed.

Here we go!

Look like it’s a 3-4-3 again. GK - Kahlina, Marks (SUB) LCB - Fuchs, Sobocinski (SUB) CB - Makoun RCB - Corujo LWB - Mora, Armour (SUB) CDM - Bronico, Alcivar (SUB), Hegardt (SUB) CM - Franco, Ruiz (SUB), Bender (SUB) RWB - Lindsey, Afful (SUB) LW - Ortiz CF - Swiderski, Rios (SUB) RW - Reyna, Gaines (SUB)

A third and a sixth would be nice compensation for Anderson. We can find someone in the third who can drop the same amount of balls as Anderson for an eighth of the price. The sixth is so that Rhule can draft whatever LS is available this year.

In reality players are 100% judged and valued on their cap hit and dead cap. If Robby is on the Panthers this year and he doesn’t put up top 10 wide receiver numbers then the FO isn’t going to keep him just because his base salary is $8M. They are going to look at his cap hit and dead cap number and see that he can be cut very easily which in turn provides more value to the team. His value to the Panthers was high when his cap hit was only $8M and he was putting up huge numbers, with that in the past his value begins to diminish as the cap hit gets bigger. Especially considering the numbers he put up last year.

It’s going to be electric tomorrow… it looks like Charlotte will break the MLS attendance record for a single game (currently held by Atlanta United). Assuming most of the purchasing fans show up, it’ll put the attendance on par with a Panthers game.

Impressive winger we got here.

It looks like we might revisit the Machis deal if his legal troubles get wrapped up. He’d be a superstar in the MLS.

This is good news for Charlotte as we finally have enough wingers to potentially play a 4-3-3 again if MAR desires. GK - Kahlina, Marks, Sisniega, Zendejas LB - Mora, Armour LCB - Fuchs, Makoun RCB - Corujo, Sobocinski, Walkes (injured) RB - Lindsey, Afful, Santos CDM - Alcivar, Hegardt CM - Ruiz, Franco, Bronico CAM - Ortiz, Bender LW - Jozwiak CF - Swiderski, Rios, Mello (injured) RW - Reyna, Gaines

Great second, third, and overtime periods. Nice win!

Reinforcements are on the way!

Finally starting to play like they are capable of.
