@andystake88 For sure...it would be a hard deal to get done due to roster status

@david97dillman Hence why they're "working" on it

Sources tell me CF Montreal have informed Thomas Aviles he will not be playing again this season barring any injuries to the backline. Team seeking to terminate loan.

@USSoccerColl True. I apologize.

@david97dillman "make him one of the most expensive MLS sales ever" is what I said.

RSL blocking Gozo's path to Europe would be a mistake, and not just for Gozo. It would be a mistake for MLS. Gozo has done everything right. He signed a Homegrown deal, developed within the system, and turned himself into one of the most coveted teenagers in the Americas. Now RSL wants to hold him hostage because they don't have a succession plan. That's not his problem. The club reportedly requires a fee approaching $20 million, a number that would make him one of the most expensive MLS sales ever. Fine. Get your money. But don't block the move altogether. If you sell him for $15 million and can't figure out how to replace a 19-year-old winger, that's a front office failure, not a reason to stall a kid's career. The broader issue is what this signals to the next Gozo. MLS is a development league right now. That's not a knock on the league. It's just the reality of where American soccer sits in the global ecosystem. It's the launchpad, not the destination. Every top young American player, every family weighing a Homegrown deal, is watching how this plays out. If the message is that MLS clubs will stand in your way the moment Europe comes calling, why would any elite kid sign here? They'll go straight to Europe as soon as they can and skip MLS entirely. RSL has leverage right now. Use it to get fair value. Don't use it to block a 19-year-old from taking the next step he's earned.

@USSoccerColl Second, they have going to say 20 million...makes sense and then clubs are going to negotiate lower...however Gozo should be sold for around $15 million. He's putting up Pepi numbers and is still so young.

@USSoccerColl This is not the case. First, John Duran was the most expensive sell for 22 million, therefore, Gozo still won't be the most expensive. Second, the FO has to wait this month to see what happens this month. Does he add more G/A? Does he make the WC roster?

#RSL Availability Report vs. #FCDallas

Me watching @royalriothayden rip into our newest pod producer @david97dillman for not having the #MLS Walmart Saturday Showdown game schedule ready to go #RSL

#RSL coach Pablo Mastroeni says @PROreferees admitted the non-red card DOGSO moment against RSL forward Victor Olatunji in the LA Galaxy game should have been a red card & was a mistake by the referee & VAR not to call it. Said their meeting lasted an hour and a half about officiating mechanics etc. #DaleReal

#RSL availability report v. POR:

The Dark Knight #notevenclose

@MaxBretosSports Why Pro/Rel would do amazing is that it would bring so many more fans into the fold...not just from different markets but people who are tired of teams tanking/rebuilding in other leagues (NBA, etc)...it would offer people an entirely different product.

I would love Pro/Rel in MLS for a variety of reasons, top of the list no other 🇺🇸 sport League has it. Commissioner is right though you have massive investment right now in teams/stadiums you can't tell these owners, "thanks, oh you might be playing in D2 next year." Breaking news - 💰 for ⚽️ here is not growing on 🌳 In due time.

@MaxBretosSports Hey, but hear me out!!! USL championship pays like $1 billion dollar+ fee and that money goes directly to the current owners. They get to recoup money as their clubs will plummet in value and we get a competitive sports league.

Well deserved 👏 #RSL
