That's an admirable move from Tata. Sometimes, things happen outside the lines that are bigger than the sport. He's doing the right thing and it's awesome to see from a man in his position.
u/Thatdude2495 still seems like a good kid, I'm not ready to give up on him.
He's not Johnny Manziel yet, we can still save him.
Heard he struggles with a reddit addiction though
fucking karma whore, am i right?
you are already beating us in soccer, do you ha ve to insult us even with football? fyi Manziel now play in Montreal
Je son plumerai la tete
et la tete, et la tete
I mean it’s an insult he’s even there in the first place. Pretty big fall from grace I wish he wasn’t a cokehead because Johnny Football was the most exciting thing in sports in his short lived prime
Can you fill me in?
Meme that started on r/atlantaunited and spread here.
u/Thatdude2495 follows a bunch of South American journalists on twitter and therefore gets a lot of transfer rumor info. During the lead up to signing Barco, he was all over it and right about everything. Led to the speculation that he was actually Barco.
Johnny Manziel is a Heisman winning QB that failed in the NFL due to domestic, drug, and alcohol abuse and now plays in the CFL for the Montreal Alouettes.
Thanks man, how did Johnny football get involved in this?
He's not involved, it's just an analogy.
Barco and Johnny both made off the field mistakes but Johnny's were worse and continued, and Barco's just had the one incident (whatever it was). So unlike Manziel who lost everything and spent a couple years in rehab, Barco can easily come back from this.
Not that he needs any.. but this gives Tata so much trust and respect in the locker room. He is the captain there. No player is bigger than him.. which is how it should be.
Exactly this. It’s the right move for the club and the culture.
ARTHUR, EXTEND TATA NOW!!!
@DEalesATLUTD announce Tata
They are legit working on it. The exercising of his initially negotiated option(s), that is.
I know. I meant we need to go beyond just exercising our option. We need to give him a full contract extension. As long as it is reasonable. We need to make Tata the Atlanta United equivalent of Tom Landry or Alex Ferguson.
hold your horses dude... need to win some silverware before we start talking about SIR Alex Ferguson... I want to like ATL but man you fans need to chill a little. It's getting unbearable now.
I mean it did take SAF 4 years to win his first trophy, but I get what you’re saying.
I want to like ATL but man you fans need to chill a little.
You're not wrong but I think we are seriously ready to freak out if Tata leaves so the hyperbole is leaking out a little bit.
Where does one find one of these coaches that wants to grow a well defined club culture. ^Asking ^for ^a ^friend... ^^that ^^totally ^^doesn't ^^support ^^MNUFC.^.^.
Hey man, don’t be sad we (philly) still don’t have a culture yet
Don’t worry man. It’s bound to never happen
That’s our Tata “High Road” Martino. May he never change
I love this man. He's so all in on the team it's not even funny
What was the latest on this? I know there were rumours, but did it come out officially what "romantic overtures" Barco made towards Vazquez's girlfriend?
Nobody knows for sure what it means and I’m okay with that I guess. The team obviously doesn’t want to go into details.
Is there any chance of Barco returning to the team at some point? Or are they pretty much forced to trade/sell him at this point?
Everyone is expecting him to return. I think if he wasn't going to return there is no chance he would have seen the field in the allstar game.
On a hunch I believe he will return. But I can only see that happening if he makes a sincere and lengthy apology to Vazquez that he accepts.
Can we get a ELI5 on what's going on with Barco and Vasquez? Is Barco suspended?
Barco tried to bang Vasquez’s girlfriend and seems to have done some stuff with her but no one is dumb enough to comment on it.
I'm guessing that this action caused some pretty hard feelings in the locker room, enough to warrant a suspension
About all that was confirmed was that they didn't have sex.
I don't think someone who works with Atlanta saying that they didn't necessarily means its true, and there were no other confirmations besides that one tweet
Doug Roberson from the AJC is the one that confirmed it. There is no info out there to think that sex was involved.
Why do chicks let this happen?
On OWFSS Pablo Maurer said that the team is currently looking for a loan spot for him, but things are fluid and could likely change.
Absurd that no one has posted that into in our sub
I mean, it is a DC United focused show. Here’s the podcast link. I don’t have a time stamp for when they started talking about it, but I do know it was around when they were going over the all star game.
Hey, it's me, your loan spot.
I know someone who would LOVE to fill it for you.
Makes sense, we need to keep him till 2020 I believe so the independente portion of his next transfer fee drops and we don't want this interfering with out chemistry going rn
Pablo is also the only person who decided to say which teammate and to also add that Barco nailed the GF... only to later delete the tweet. No one else has suggested, confirmed, etc. this info. So I tend to take his information as being as valuable as shit.

1⃣4⃣ BARCO´S SANCTION
"I know this is soccer and we must win, but I don´t do this because I´m nuts. There´s an #ATLUTD´s culture we want to install, a lifestyle our club embraces, that we like to be observed, that must leads us beyond a result. If by taking my chances in a..."

They paid 15 million dollars for this kid, bahahahahahaha. Hasnt showed a single instance that he’s been worth the money.
3rd most chances created in the league, even after missing the start of the season from injury, and now Tata's benching
but whatever floats your boat I guess
Worth it then I guess?
We'll see. But he clearly has talent and has shown many instances that he's worth the money.
You just haven't watched him.
15 mil for 3rd most chances created is hardly worth it. A record transfer signing should be lighting the league on fire, not banging team mates girlfriends and getting benched for it.
Well I mean 15 mil is chump change for Arthur Blank and despite his not-so-amazing goals/assists record he showed a ton of talent and flashes of what he could become. Plus he’s still only 18 (19?) and has played 10 matches. So maybe consider slowing your roll.
Awww did I hurt your feelings? Honestly theres a greater chance of him busting than playing worth his transfer fee/transfering out for more. If ATL could get 10 mil for him tomorrow they'd be stupid not to take it. Plenty of 18/19 year olds in the league doing far greater things than he is. Also plenty of 18/19 year olds that arent trying to bang their teammates significant others.
Lol “plenty” is a stretch when it comes to skill level. And I’m a bit confused as to how you’d see me as upset when I presented some pretty level-headed stuff. But you do seem to be pretty worked up about this...
Lol project much? Maybe sit the next few rounds out, there champ.
Triggered ATL fans are triggered.
That's funny. I thought it was following an Argentine tradition of own goals.
Reach that hard for a joke again and you’ll dislocate your shoulder brother
Headbutts : okay.
Fucking your friend's girl : not okay.
Jesus christ move on with your life man
Obsessed
nah most of the fanbase has moved on to thinking we're going to win the MLS cup again now that we beat minnesota...
I guess we'll see you there ;D
i have a doubt...
And people get on our fans for injecting ourselves into conversations...
I guess Seattle invented that too
Underrated comment. Trying to talk soccer with someone on the west coast as a dirty southerner is like "oh, you guys just got shoes, right? Wait for indoor plumbing!" Ffs. Wish I had more than one fake internet point to offer you, sir.
Would you rather someone headbutt you or fuck your girlfriend?
Can they headbutt me while fucking her? Let’s see how Tata handles THAT!
This got KINKY
Just let it go man
Its been like 2 weeks man.....
Be more of a pussy about it, really
good on tata
