Charlotte is going to remain a small club if their idea of improving the team is signing a player like Swiderski as their DP.

Toronto’s new DPs are what your DPs are supposed to be. Gamer changers

Was thinking the exact same thing so I decide to start going through rosters and I can pick out elite players on nearly every team except ours.

Don't we have the highest payroll too? We need more guys like vargas and to actually play them

No idea what our payroll is but I agree, I know it’s the nature of soccer that the guys that make all the money get all the field time but they are also divas and Karol’s on-field antics suggest he has that same mentality. I want to see more of our young players who actually look threatening.

Additionally I don’t know how much longer we can go without a number 10… after seeing Bernardeschi destroy us yesterday, I have no idea why we weren’t in on him… after all, Toronto got him in a free transfer so all they are paying is his wages.

Wasn’t Bernadeschi playing as a winger though? We do need a 10. I think that’s why they tried Jozwiak there. Honestly they should just give Hegardt some starts there if they’re not gonna bring anyone in

He was and he is primarily a winger but he does have a decent amount of experience as an attacking midfielder. I guess my thought process is that we need a player of his caliber controlling our midfield.

Bender, McNeill, and Alcivar are still young, Ruiz is a nice compliment in the midfield but he doesn’t look like a player that will truly control the midfield, and then obviously Bronico and occasionally Jones hold down the CDM position.

I still think we are a solid left back, elite attacking midfielder, and elite winger away from being able to compete for a Supporters Shield or MLS Cup.

It’s wild that we aren’t involved in any potential transfers at the moment with just over a week left in the window.

I’m also with you regarding Hegardt, the match slips my mind but he came in as a substitute a while back and was a complete game changer every time he touched the ball. He nearly found McNeill for a goal.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
