I too agree their approach and ...Really well said!<br /><br />I too agree their approach and mindset needs to change. I feel like Zusi and Besler were great PR moves and necessary at the time. But now you've acquired all of this TAM yet you haven't paid their contracts down out of DP status. Nor are you aggressive in finding really good DP's. The Nemo deal NEEDED to get done. You instead go and get a young promising player in Rubio, but don't play him nor do we change formations (to say a 4-4-2) which would benefit Rubio and Zusi. The last part aside, you decided to go a much cheaper route. Basically you want to play moneyball.<br /><br />Well, that is understandable but in that case you need to approach building much more like FCD. We are not taking the draft seriously enough. We aren't singing homegrown kids nor are we playing them. Salloi gets loaned out because he can't get minutes on SPR. EPB gets loaned out because we give minutes to Olum, Ellis, and even Coelho. You go out and start a USL team but then don't play Lindsay, Tekesky, Hernandez, Kamal, Little, Armstrong, Wilkinson, or Selbol. I mean let them sub in sometimes at least. Hell they aren't even playing Kempin. anymore.<br /><br />Winning at that level should be important but not so important you hurt player development.<br /><br />Hopefully they overhaul their approach.
