This is a shit competition with mostly B squads. I have little interest in it outside of watching some of these players who may actually have an impact next year.

Morris needs to do well just to make the WC squad.

Zardes? Don't care how nice that assist was, and how well he did in take-ons. The guy is awful in front of goal.



Does Johansson expect to play at WB?

I would like to see him work his way back into this team. We need a striker with his type of skillset and experience in the mix.

I think Morris would be wise to get out of the MLS next season and grind in Europe like Bobby Wood has done.




I follow WB, he gets ZERO time

That's been the biggest complaint AJ has with WB and has asked for a trade. With Max Kruze back from injury, Aaron is a non-starter. Although with Gnabry moving to Bayern, if he stays with WB, he may have more starting time now.

WB has some magic mojo last season with him out of the lineup and they had the best comeback from bottom of the league (maybe in Bundeslinga history) so they had no reason to play him with their magic working.


Gnabry went to Bayern...then loaned to Hoffenheim

And it was really nice to see WB pick up some steam last year and get far from relegation.

I have a soft spot for them (along with Koln and Nurnberg).


Makes sense, he wanted playing time, Bayern doesn't have any

I was surprised he moved from WB needing playing time and thinking he would get it at Bayern. Loaning him to Hoffenheim would be a good choice as Hoffenheim is also in good contention for Bundesliga


Yeah

He's definitely a long-term acquisition for Bayern.

It is amazing how well they're stocking up for the future. Goretzka is coming next year as well - for free.


I like Dwyer more. *
