2026 kit leak... Meh... #DCU www.footyheadlines.com/2025/12/adid...

#DCU should give him a call. They desperately need chance creation, they have the open DP slot but not necessarily the international slot. Not to mention they desperately need something to make them more relevant. Can we honestly say this would make things worse at the team right now?

Ok maybe not... #DCU

More moves. Ball playing CB. Could be a good pair with Bartlett if he stays #DCU

With DCU taking the draft this seriously, an arrangement for the MLS2 HAS to be shortly announced. I understand we are months past the “in 48 hours” statement by Levien, but…you’d have to think it’s coming.

Lol wut? #DCU

Edison Flores, Boris Enow, Gabriel Pirani, Nigel Robertha, and Zoltan Stieber were all 7-figure acquisitions. Mohanad Jeahze, José Fajardo, Erik Sorga, Victor Pálsson all cost $500k or more. You can't be a mid-level MLS spender and miss this often.

This is fighting a battle from the past for D.C. United, who have long been accused of not spending on players despite evidence to the contrary. Anecdotally, over the last 6 months this complaint finally dried up. People have caught up: their problem hasn't been spending, it's been talent eval.

RIP the Atlantic Cup #DCU

Simmonds also has pro-level experience with Richmond. Registered a goal in 12 appearances. #DCU

Incredible how the Superdraft transformed from an event held in a ballroom to a Zoom Press conference. It is like the reverse of every league draft in American sports. #MLS

4.5 year contract is probably one of the longest I have seen #DCU give for a DP. This is a massive investment in Baribo to say the least...

⚫️🔴 BREAKING: D.C. United has completed the signing of Israel int'l Tai Baribo from the Philadelphia Union, per sources. Cash transfer worth around $4m. Baribo becomes a DP for D.C. United. Baribo, 27, has 35 goals in ~4,300 mins over last two seasons for Philly.

Lol, great timing. #DCU

Sure. #DCU

You say that now, but that leaves Rowles and Tubbs as your starting CBs. #DCU

Cornel to Orlando, Zimmerman to Toronto, and now Bartlett potentially leaving. Our list of possible defensive improvements grows thin...

@tombogert.bsky.social reporting that Bartlett is requesting a discussion about his future. #DCU is fielding offers for him. A LOT of questions if he leaves this window.

The hostility to the move can IMO be boiled down to 2 related points: 1. DCU fans have no trust in anyone at the club to make a good move. That's gonna take years to fix. 2. When DCU spends 7 figs, they've bought at several career value peaks. This deal feels like, for example, Edison Flores.

Biggest thing still to solve for #DCU in 2026 will be chance creation. Baribo does nothing to solve. At least one of the new DPs should go toward solving this problem.

Good. They should also offer Seattle a bag for Minoungou, pick up Kent off of waivers, sign Haak, Coronel & Zimmerman in free agency.

The Benteke replacement call is coming from inside the Acela corridor.

At this point... maybe it is time to just have free agency for all.

New player rumor dropping. RB Jordi Altena from the Dutch second division. Just turned 22 in December, so he would not be eligible for a U-22 initiative slot. #DCU www.soccernews.nl/news/kkd-sen...

I wish Grant Wahl was here rn

Guys don’t watch this. You don’t have to watch this. They’ll put the groups on the internet later.

#DCU could have exercised his option and kept him on his academy deal. What is weird is they released him and the annouced they were in negotiations to re-sign him.

Loudoun United has a reserve team before DC United does...

CROIX IS SUBBING ON

Love to see it, #spiritfam

Both US goals tonight have been insane but this is some stuff you pull when FIFA is on easy mode.

CANTORE SUBBED ON!

Newest episode is out for Clyde Simms Patrons, we talk about the thin margins of defeat for @washingtonspirit.com, and look at the evolving nature of @dcunitedofficial.bsky.social roster rebuild: www.patreon.com/posts/bon-vo...

"Sir, they posted hotdogs for Thanksgiving."

They know. Happy Thanksgiving, sickos.

I finally tracked down a pair of datasets and put them together. This is Deloitte’s 2025 valuation of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, and Forbes’s 2025 valuation of NWSL. Kansas City Current’s estimated annual revenue is bigger than Barcelona & Chelsea combined.

Are you suffering from #WOSO withdrawal? Are you looking for a game with a local angle to get you through the long holiday weekend? Check out our preview of the international matches featuring Washington Spirit and DC Power players.

Ted and I both love Benteke on a TAM deal if it’s possible.

Appears there are some personal issues between him and the club driving that drop off... that sure worked great last time! #DCU

Oh? #DCU

If this guy was 21. Sure, take him on a U-22. But as a DP and your Benteke replacement, no less? Not confidence inspiring to say the least... #DCU

And now the long boring winter has fully begun.

#ThatsTheSpirit made two straight finals all while battling through significant injuries. Rodman this year, Bethune last year. Pretty incredible, and ultra devastating to come up short twice...
