When will the spend on a big time playersJonathan? The piece doubles down on academy, reserves, etc. but they think the final push is more investment here instead of one super high end player?

Weiler previously managed Anderlecht, Al Ahly, Servette and more.

Can confirm Tom’s (as always) excellent reporting - Swiss manager René Weiler will take the helm at DC United.

The Lesesne move has been on the table for months, as DC have had convos with a number of candidates all summer.

Oof.

Kind of.

On what was mostly, in my opinion, a successful #USMNT summer
www.mlssoccer.com/news/usmnt-a...

What I learned this summer with #USMNT (2/2)
- Tyler Adams is not the same player since 22/23. Not sure he ever gets back to his true level post these hamstring injuries. EPL did him no favors
- LDLT, B Aaronson did not impress
- Berhalter, Agyemang, Downs impressed

What I learned this summer with #USMNT (1/2)
- Chris Richards cements himself as CB1
- Diego Luna, Malik Tillman have worked their way onto WC26 team
- Freese is Goalie 1 right now but I still think it’s all up for grabs over the next year

Wait I had a take lined up for after the game

Was told little interest in him at PSV, Ajax passed and going for Pablo Torre. He was offered to Feyenoord as well. Who knows.

Timo Werner makes $11.7M/year but #RBNY are offering him $11.7M spread over two years. It’s not seeming likely that a transfer will come together.

Are we done with Martinez at LAFC? Should they cut their losses and just sell the kid? He has moments of magic once a month but hasn’t developed in any meaningful way.

I think they think he’s not a TAM player

@mattdoyle.bsky.social we need some sort of post game reaction Doyle

Agreed, who can do that job for them on the bench? I don’t really see it

Source: Jack McGlynn has interest from La Liga club Alaves and Serie A’s Parma.

- PSV, Sociedad interest has cooled
- Anderlecht has interest but won’t be close to $5M+ asking price
- Variety of English clubs still involved

Jack open to switch this summer or upcoming winter.

Our boy made it

Feel bad for all the Whitecaps fans that made to trip to Mexico City

Surreal because this was Tyler Adams’ #1 landing spot many years ago. The ultimate TA club goes for Cardoso. Wild.

Musah’s downfall needs to be studied. Also, no Sargent

This was supposed to be the play for Tyler Adams’ career which really has stalled at the moment. Adams had Sevilla offer in ‘22, turned down and wanted ‘top 3 of La Liga’ offer. Atleti would’ve made the most sense.

Behind Sebastian Berhalter's rise to Vancouver Whitecaps star & USMNT hopeful | MLSSoccer.com It wasn’t much to look at in the moment, the sort of transaction that flies under the radar for all but the most obsessed fans. The baseline General Allocation Money (GAM) involved – $50,000 – is the ...
