okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Both can be true. Very happy to get the win, baffled by the fact that a last-minute home win over SKC is somehow a result that has people wanting to extend Waibel. 010
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Give Waibel another 10 years, we've beaten the 3 worst teams in the league. 110
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Instead of that, they're probably going to get Jackson Yueill in a year and talk about how he was a former DP. 100
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Thankfully, there's about 8 other teams who are equally bad and inconsistent. Doesn't bode well for a playoff run if we were to make it though. 000
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Andre Luiz is clearly just a class above anyone else on the field, which doesn't help either. 010
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026So they just won't have a sports section? If all that's left is the Mariners, Seahawks, and UW football that's pretty pathetic. 190
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Assuming the CB depth chart would be: New CB / Ragen / Hawkins / Yeimar / Lopez Then that wouldn't be much of an issue, especially in a 14-game season. I want to see a bunch of roster churn and wouldn't mind Yeimar leaving, but I think there's a world where he can still be a valuable depth piece. 011
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If he's willing to take a Kim Kee-hee salary and we sign a new starting CB, I'd be happy with that. I could even be talked into a 1.5-year Jon Bell-level deal, maybe. If he wants to be a starter or make anything close to what he's on now, though, he needs to be gone. 100
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026What was the Minnesota player doing? One of the worst misses I've ever seen. 140
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026They really just had the one great chance, but we also missed one, so it evens out. 000
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/20262 things can both be true. We clearly need a more favorable situation, and at the same time, moving to a 25k-seat venue in Renton would probably end up killing the club in the long run. Look at what the Bridgeview move did to the Fire. Part of our identity is tied to being in the city. 040
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026And half of those things won't be any better in Renton. Do you actually think Adrian will lower prices and have better food options than they have at Lumen? He's clearly shown that he doesn't care about what the fans want by pushing for this in the first place. Not to mention the lack of transit. 120
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Kind of felt like treading water in that they didn't make it catastrophically worse for themselves, but by not making it better, they still made it worse overall. 050

okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Trying to soft launch a Renton stadium and then asking fans to be proud of him is.... a choice. 060
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I don't think he wants his resume brought up if it's compared to Garth's 030
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026In a half-empty 25k stadium that looks the exact same as every other SSS in the league. 000
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm starting to see why Adrian doesn't talk to the public much, the guy has some of the worst pr instincts I've ever seen. 060
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So, was he not going to release the letter if they didn't get Joveljic over the line? 000
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Might be true because other teams get Messi games which inflates that number. 000
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yes because I’m sure noted philanthropist Adrian Hanauer totally wouldn’t jack up concession prices🙄 010
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I love how the same people who tell fans not to overreact after 1 loss do the exact same thing after a single win against a truly garbage team. At full health, this is still the worst Sounders team in at least a decade, if not more. Why are we defending this? 010
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026But that's only because Nouhou is incredibly durable. If he were to get hurt, then it's Arriola and Lopez for the rest of the year? Doesn't really inspire much confidence. He also looks visibly exhausted in a similar way that Rothrock did before he got hurt, and a backup would've helped with that. 210
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I do think this summer has (hopefully) made them realize they need to make some moves; I just worry that Craig values continuity to a fault sometimes and will fall back on it if whatever their "Plan A" is doesn't pan out. 000
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Unrelated, but I was curious if you saw this, Jeremiah. It doesn't sound reassuring if that's what they were going for. 100
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also a fair point. Nashville has clearly been a good spot for his development and there's no guarantee he would've gotten there here. Just wish we had gotten a replacement in the winter when we traded him, or in the summer when it was clear we needed one. 100
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not that there is a particularly good publicly available valuation benchmark, but I don't put too much stock in Transfermarkt valuations. I doubt we could get 2 million for Arriola, 3 million for Dotson, or 3.5 for Nouhou. At the same time, Hawkins is listed at 175k, which is comically low. 100
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think it'd also be nice to hear that there will be some real roster turnover, cause I still think there's a decent chance, either through budget or personal preference, that Craig will just run back the same roster yet again if he stays. 120
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It only makes sense to trade a player if it's worth it for the club and they have a replacement, though Maybe the club felt the RBW valuation was fair but it seemed low at the time and it looks worse now And aren't backups usually not rated by the manager as much, considering they aren't starting? 200
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is, of course, why trading RBW for relative peanuts didn't make much sense, considering we're just going to have to go get a player that will almost certainly be more expensive and might not even be an upgrade. 120
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I am a Nouhou fan, but he's always been at his best when there's a genuine contender for his spot. I want us to sign a younger, more attack-minded backup this winter for that reason, either we get a better left back out of it or a better Nouhou. 120
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It's hard to know, though. RBW has looked much better at Nashville than he ever did here. I do think that placing all the eggs in the Nouhou basket is a bizarre move, especially when we also traded Bell and Baker. Also considering our injury record this year I fear for what would've happened to him 240
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Here's what I want to know: Which of Waibel's moves in his 4 years now makes him one of the best GMs in the league? Some of the criticism of him should be directed at Adrian, but his track record doesn't exactly jump off the page. Before Deki his best signing was Ferreira, who has been a mixed bag. 030
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 25/09/2026We are literally bottom in transfer spend over the past 3-4 years, but ok. We are solidly in the middle of the pack for salary spend, but considering we used to be top third, it's a tough sell. I think it's easy from the outside to say we're okay, but it's been constant decline for a while now. 110
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'm kind of ready to move on from Ragen. I'd like to see Hawkins paired with a new CB as the starters next year. 010
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It's crazy that we still don't have goalline tech and people should make a much bigger deal about it. 030
okb04 @okb04.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Federico Higuain recently missed two games for Crew 2 for a "suspension" right after a game against Huntsville with a female ref. 1141
