Kim popping in this thread is always a treat

I'd like to think the sellout streak is safe, but there seem to be quite a few tickets available for the upcoming games.

ATL is going to start strong. Will be interesting to see if they keep up momentum after year 2 or 3

From Cauldron fb page:

Highly speculative rumor: SKC has offered Bieler to Columbus for top allocation spot in an attempt the get Kei. Source is a friend in the Columbus area so I am putting no stock in it.

Would probably take depending on the kind of salary we would give Kei. Makes sense in the sense that Columbus desperately needs a striker.

[Tobias]

i wish we could keep dom around - personally (and unpopularly), i prefer him to bieler. dunno that i'd consider kei a true "goal scorer" - to me his real value is ability to effectively hold up play and link up.  absolutely love him and his style to death, but he just marshal henderson'd shots when he didn't get any support.  i agree that soony is underrated and hope for good things from him

seems like a long time ago

Meh can we just wait in that allocation spot for someone better than Kei.

That's what I was thinking too, my question is when does the order reset? If it resets as soon as the season is over there's probably not much chance of many other options coming available.

[sunny_cat]

I was not aware the order "resets"

I don't know, allocation has me a little confused and it seems like. MLS pretty much makes up rules as it goes with it. If it doesn't reset then yea, no way would I use it on Kei.

Only thing I would wonder about is where NYCFC/OCSC would fit in. Top? Bottom?

They can get mumped seeing that we lose two guys to an expansion draft.

I've loved following SKC, but my only criticism is the #MLS season is too long. It cuts into so many other sports and it's hard to follow at times. I don't think our local media does a good job of advertising the games either. Other than that, #1SKC!

[sunny_cat]

I like it being long because usually when the Royals/Chiefs are super sucky, I still have a stud soccer team to watch alongside my Cat Football team.

That is a good thing.

the biggest problem for an MLS is the fact the game times arent at the same time everyweek, sometimes its Saturday, sometimes its friday night, other times its sunday. Confusing. i heard the new TV deal will change that tho.
