Please make it stop

Per Bogert's reporting, the Timbers were "among the clubs in the final sweepstakes" for Espinoza. So close, yet so far. Portland couldn't offer him a DP-level salary with Velde, Rodriguez, and Da Costa on the books. #RCTID

Strike that. They tried their hardest. It looks like they're intent on adding another DP attacker this winter. Such an addition would necessitate a transfer/buyout of one of their current DPs. Pretty easy to figure out how they'd open up a DP slot. #RCTID x.com/i/status/20089…

Fee should be in the region of $7-10M. Would be very disappointed if the price is below that range. #RCTID

Two million is LAUGHABLE. Ayala can remain on a U22 deal until he's 26 (provided he isn't making more than the senior max). Decade of humiliation continues. #RCTID

Don't be mad at Miami. There's nothing fraudulent about this transaction. "Personal reasons," on the other hand.......#RCTID

If this deal were to go through and Miami didn’t win a domestic double, everyone should point and laugh at them.

Some thoughts on a dizzying day in Portland. #RCTID cascadiafc.com/new-year-same-…

Two million dollars. I can't get over it. #RCTID

INBOX: Reilyn Turner earns first ever USWNT call-up #BAONPDX #USWNT Incredible season for the Portland Thorns forward this season, showing her versatility by playing all over the frontline - centrally and on the wings. Olivia Moultrie will also be joining her.

MLS is the hardest league in the world to win games on the road. Ramsay guided Minnesota to the league's 3rd best away record last year. #WBA

The Portland Thorns losing their captain ahead of the 2026 NWSL season would be the worst case scenario #BAONPDX #USWNT There are players who mean everything to their club - Sam Coffey is that and more. The team had multiple years to build a winner & they failed to do so.

The reported fee of $800k for Sam Coffey is way too low #BAONPDX If this is around the final amount, this is an even bigger loss for Portland Thorns. She has two years remaining on the contract. For a world class talent of her caliber and stature, it’s an awful return.

A decent source when it comes to transfer news in the Netherlands. However, Berghuis (CAM/RW) is 34 years old, the #Sounders are crowded in those areas of the pitch, and he’s making $2.9 million a year and would certainly occupy a DP spot. There’s absolutely no way this happens

#BAONPDX

ICE should be dismantled, all "agents" should be put on trial and jailed, and every member of Congress who voted to keep funding a police force of misfits created to terrorize American communities should be primaried. That's the bare minimum.

2 things: the justification for this cash trade is highlighted. Miami hasn't signed Ayala to a contract extension either. Feels like an expiring contract trade that allows Ayala to enter global free agency next year and give PTFC some comp without losing him for free. #RCTID

Daiane's Loan to Liga MX Femenil's C.F. Monterrey Femenil is Official #BAONPDX The Portland Thorns are now down to: Jayden "JP" Perry, Isa Obaze, and Sam Hiatt at CB. If center back isn't a priority this offseason...

To truly dispel this silly rumor, sources told me that moving to MLS (whether it’s the Sounders or NYCFC) is not an option for Steven Berghuis and that there is zero truth to this. #Sounders

I really hope the #Sounders accept a decent offer for Obed Vargas during this European transfer window or else it’s increasingly likely they lose him on free…
