@wildbob420@stlsoccerguy@n8stlcitypress Lol not my point. People take the transfer fee as a personal attack and as if they’ll see that money. The difference between receiving $1m and $2m won’t be the dealbreaker in regards to how much they’ll spend on a new DP
@Pantsalot11@willbrattonstl The idea that we can hold off until the winter doesn’t make sense. At that point, there’s likely no suitors for Hartel since it’d be the middle of the season in Europe. No suitors = no money AND an unhappy Hartel who’d I assume has already discussed a move with the FO.
@MattBakerSTL@stlCITYsc I’ve seen people make the comment of “if he wants to go, wait till the winter”. With the misalignment of the calendar between MLS and Europe (for one more year), I feel like that’s not really an option. By the winter window, the European season is halfway done and interest gone.
@MattBakerSTL I feel the only way we let Hartel go now is if HE wants to go, I doubt we’d simply transfer out our best player regardless of how much $$$ we get
