TD;DR (Oshan’s predictions)

  • Lodeiro probably leaves
  • Rusnak probably gets renegotiated to a max-TAM level player
  • Ruidíaz may get bought out or traded; he wants an extension but that would be hard to imagine
  • JP probably back
  • Heber probably gone unless he scores a boatload of goals in the rest of the season
  • Xavi probably leaves, either by having his option declined or by having it picked up and Sounders trading him
  • Hopefully Frei stays on a team friendly contract with a small pay cut
  • Cleveland may be headed elsewhere to let the other keepers in the pipeline get more time at lower cost
  • Rowe and Fredy probably won’t be back
  • Sounders will probably listen to offers for Vargas, RBW, and Leyva.
  • AB is probably gone given his age and so he can get playing time elsewhere, to free up minutes for some of the Defiance CBs
  • CR7 will have a bounce back year after the injuries; JMo will be back to his excellent form, Atencio needs more minutes, and Chu will be in the last year of his contract and out to prove that he deserves a big new contract.
  • biggest off-season priorities: new DP 10, new number 9 (maybe somebody younger to develop while Jordan starts up top for now)

Create post

A place for Sounders fans in the Fediverse. Discussion, analysis, match threads, and more.

Looking for mods, banner images, and new ideas!

Who are the Sounders

  • Seattle’s MLS team, born in 1974 and in MLS since 2009
  • Winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, 2016 and 2019 MLS Cups, 2014 MLS Supporters Shield, and 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2014 US Open Cups

Community Guidelines

These are some proposed guidelines to get us started, but open to discussion!

  • Hot takes and strong opinions go hand in hand with fandom, especially with a supporter community as passionate as the Sounders’. Still: keep it supportive! Remember that players are people and our boys bleed blue and green, even on an off day. Overwhelming negativity is not an attractive look.
  • Abusive language directed towards anyone - including opposing teams - is not acceptable. Similarly, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, or other hateful language or content will not be tolerated.
  • This community is meant for Sounders-related discussions and content. We welcome fans of all teams to share in these discussions. Trolling or brigading by opposition fan groups, however, will be removed. Similarly, encouraging the trolling or brigading of other communities is not acceptable.
  • While most content will be Sounders-focused, we welcome posts & discussion about any Seattle- or Washington-based soccer teams (e.g. OL Reign, Defiance, Ballard FC)
