I mean the bare minimum we need is a striker. But what else would we need?
I personally say we need depth more than anything right now. With contracts expiring and our depth piece in cdm is parez.
I just moved down here (STL) from Chicago. My son played for the Chicago Fire youth program. I’m looking for a team for him down here, all of his Chicago coaches said that I need to find “Coach Sully”?? I guess that’s who they think is the best option is for a youth coach down here. But I can’t seem to find what club he coach's for. Any STL soccer parents know where he coaches?
This from another part of the interwebs. I’ve also run this by people in the know and they are hearing the same thing, but whats still blank is what comes next for the site and most likely answer is a redevelopment by City SC, they own a couple other sites between the the stadium and jefferson and i believe they’ll eventually take it all.
Is there even a HINT/rumor that we will sign ANYONE??? Much less a "9'/Striker...
Or did the Taylor's look out at a full stadium, cash the Apple TV check and decide that indeed Becher is the starting Striker that will get us to the playoffs <and pocket the GAM from selling Kluas>?
I feel like at this point if we were indeed going to get the help we so desperately need up top we would have heard about a visit, the rumor mill would be churning , flares would be lit.
Instead... we are bringing in... a head of analytics?
“My heart comes from Bosnia,” said Elvir Kafedzic, an assistant coach with City2, City SC’s development squad, and one of many who fled Bosnia during its war and settled in America, “but my home and everything I’ve achieved in life is here in St. Louis, in America. For those 90 minutes, they stand on opposite sides, but I feel like, after the whistle, they’ll always be part of who I am. This is not just a soccer match. I feel like it’s a celebration of two countries that shaped my life and the lives of thousands and thousands of Bosnians.”

I thought that I shared the link in a way that would make the article free for readers, but turns out it isn't. Apologies.
So, I usually check the City job listings once a week or so because I'm looking to change jobs and working for the team would be great. Came across this listing this morning and I know it's been discussed Lutz not having a scouting department but this job listing is so someone can run the data and analytics department which blows my mind we've gone this long with seemingly NONE of that! No one was doing any sort of analytics work? They haven't been doing it even this year? When Corey mentioned building things out I guess I really didn't have my head around just what that meant. My assumption is after they fill this role they're going to start posting jobs for data scientists, which would be awesome to apply for, and starting from the ground up. Just really surprising at how little was there in the sporting department.

What questions do you have about the team, league, rules, etc?
Hey. We can't end this week without pawsing to note note that CITY's goodest boy had a birthday on Wednesday. His dogged pursuit of excellence is an inspiration to all.
Corey. Here is your striker. Make the deal.
Super last minute, but I've got 5 free tickets to the CITY2 game tonight because my family last minute isn't able to make it. DM me and they're yours.
Edit: All tickets have been claimed. Let's go CITY!
Has City made any announcement for their plan for the USA first knockout game on the 1st likely against Bosnia & H?
Think it could be an incredible atmosphere if they did something big and split the crowd.
It's Monday Morning, CITY2 got steamrolled yesterday and not much news for the senior squad. Let's hear your thoughts on all things St. Louis CITY SC.
