r/soccer is pleased to be hosting an AMA with Tom Bogert of The Athletic this Friday at 11am EST / 4pm UK / 5pm CET.

Tom is The Athletic's MLS and US soccer insider, and has previously written for MLSSoccer.com as well as The Guardian. Tom will be here to discuss all things from Messi in Miami to Phil Neville in Portland. He also was the first to report multiple big MLS transfers, including Gareth Bale to LAFC and Christian Benteke to DC United.

Again, that's this Friday, November 10 at 11am EST / 4pm UK / 5pm CET (or about 48 hours from the posting of this thread). We are looking forward to your questions!

I have a question about transfer.

So how do you mainly get the transfers source , is it from agents , or from club source , or from leak?

Why has the Athletic fallen off so much in terms of quality over the past few years?

[–] Alternative-Candy550@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Mean question for tommy scoops who's quality is still amazing

Because it was a vc and they accomplished their objective of getting bought. Now the NYT is trying to run it like something they want to hold and not just burn money gutting local sports sections around the world.

To this day still one of the most absurd stats I have ever read in football:

49 – Marco Reus has featured in 49 matches across all competitions this season (2020/21) - more often than any other Bundesliga player. Endurance.

if only he could have been that healthy for more than 20% of his career.

Is the Athletic never not on sale?

What are some good MLS twitter accounts outside of The Athletic to follow for all the transfer news this winter?

[–] Less_Engineering_561@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Any news on DC United’s general manager and manager situation?
