I'm told Freeman is happy his boyhood club gets a fee as well and not a free transfer.
Good for all.
This is an amazing study

If only I could check Fbref.....
Thanks for this π just started getting into trying to do MLS analysis and thought I was gonna get screwed right out of the gate! Love the visuals you guys provide!

Very hard to analyze keepers because of all the context that surrounds actions they're taking. Can it be assumed that St. Clair's G+ contributions will translate to a vastly different context in Miami?
Do you think there's any chance St. Clair doesn't work out? Going from completely different systems.
We've seen examples of world class keepers looking like garbage when the system changes, kinda odd to me that nobody seems to be considering it

Wessam Abou Ali was supposed to tear up MLS with Columbus Crew, but injury got in the way.
Yet itβs a new season, with a new manager, and maybe a new Wes.
On recovery, late night gaming sessions, and golden boot talk

08.01.2026 16:54 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Is there a reason it took so long for them to add this to begin with? Just to try to maintain stability as the league developed?

07.01.2026 15:15 β π 34 π 4 π¬ 5 π 0Think it's important to note Espinoza doesn't really score himself so while he'll provide a lot of assists, Nashville still probably need to add someone who can contribute 7-10 goals

Still wondering how San Jose let him go
If they get somebody who can chip in with a few goals when Surridge is off form it's a locked in home playoff spot
07.01.2026 14:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0π£π¦π· BREAKING: Nashville SC has signed free agent winger Cristian Espinoza, sources tell @theathleticfc.bsky.social.
Espinoza was the marquee free agent this winter. He will be a DP in Nashville.
The 30-year-old is San Jose's all-time assists leader. www.nytimes.com/athletic/694...
INSANE signing, Nashville has 3 amazing DPs. All they need is a little depth
07.01.2026 14:52 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well to be fair pretty much the entire roster is dead weight. But think Morgan and Haak needed to go, taking up a DP spot and a ton of money for not much upside and Nealis is an average player at best. Agree that there's way more to do
