Chris Tierney

... them moving forward.

It was a really good window for Chris Tierney.

Um, it was one of those where it's actually when I looked, it's like this is maybe the most, like, normal really good window.

You know what I mean? Like, just one where it looks like they did, like, the business I've come to expect from MLS teams in the summer, and they nailed it.

The Rebs sneaking in in the cloak of darkness, locking up Joshua Winder, right? Yes.

I think another positive type of thing we could talk about is the job that Chris Tierney has done in this transfer window.

Because the reps have brought in... multiple players, but you know, you look at winder, look at Tyler Smith, you look at Jack Harrison kind of as the, the big, the big names that stand out.

Yeah.

But even, you know, Wilson Harrison, the initial window more or less, but you look at, and Chris Tierney has done a great job turning over this roster.

What are your thoughts on what they've done? And by the way, Winder is a one-year loan, no purchase option for now, but the teams have agreed to pick up discussions again.

That was reported out there.

Can I throw something in here, Rob, before you get a question in? Caught on Blue Sky from our friends at the Blazing Musket, go support them covering New England soccer independently.

Some quotes from Chris Tierney, who is obviously the guy in charge of building the team for Marko Mitrovic in New England.

And I actually caught this because Matt Doyle highlighted it, that Chris Tierney said that talks about the shift in roster investment model are still in the early stages.

Now, obviously, we had the reports.

I think once that kind of gets out there, everybody goes, oh, this is going to happen.

But if Chris Tierney is saying that they're in early stages, then, yeah, that leaves a lot of uncertainty for these clubs as to what tools they're going to have and how important is it for you to have a bunch of gam on hand next summer rather than maybe spend it all now with the roster rules changing.

Right.

Will there be more, I guess, more liberated approach to the high-end spending? We talk about the premium roster spots, which right now, essentially, you have six slots between designated player spots and under-22 initiative spots that you can spend, have a much higher ceiling, in some ways, kind of no ceiling on what you can spend.

We're

joined now by Chris Tierney, Revolution GM and CSO, Chief Soccer Officer.

Chris, how we doing?

Doing great, boys.

See you, bud.

All right.

That is Chris Tierney, Revolution GM.

We're going to step aside.

I know a couple of weeks ago you compared them to the Red Sox and the differing third-place teams and how they were acting.

So now that this is all being said and done, how do you feel Chris Tierney did in his first transfer window?

All right.

There's a lot there.
