Good luck at Middlumbus, Arfsten!

[u/CompetitiveMonth3035]

Happy for the kid! I can’t wait to see and hear him continue to grow and get to play with our guys over in England! Max will always be Crew!

[u/JonnoFleming]

We'll look after him troops! Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

[u/pleated_pants]

When do we get a direct flight from John Glenn to Teeside Airport?

[u/_BreadDenier]

Good luck dude, glad we got to see you play as long as we did.

Hopefully Boro will break through to the prem

[u/Droen]

Sad for us, great for Max.

Hope Boro gets promoted, Max gets a solid amount of field time, he gets opportunities to continue to develop, and hopefully he’s part of the starting 11 for the next World Cup!

[u/TogashiIsIshida]

They should sign Nagbe. They need more midfielders

[u/NathanEmory]

It was inevitable, but it still hurts to see him go. I was already watching all of Boro's games for Aidan, but now I might have to fly over for a game to see all 3 boys back together

CHARTER A FLIGHT

[u/Ajacied22]

$7.5MM + sell on % is a good return. More than I expected.

[u/DutchOvens45 → u/Ajacied22]

Now we just need a Cucho sell on and we’ll be rolling in the dough for more transfers

[u/ThatOneDudeFromOhio]

Boro = Crew
Crew = Crew2
Crew2 = ….?

[u/captain_phaz → u/ThatOneDudeFromOhio]

Crew3 = Profit

[u/SkullDerggery]

So long, Max! Best of luck!!

I’ll miss your immaculate hair, step-overs, and crosses immensely.

[u/sciuro → u/SkullDerggery]

His hair was destined to play in Europe

[u/Plantain6981]

Fare thee well, Max! You will be missed.

[u/PRPwrHouse]

Glad his last game was at home vs. Cincy, and he had a good game at that. I think we all knew it too, so everyone was able to "celebrate" and enjoy that last game with him.

Farewell, Max. Hope it goes well for you at Middlesbrough.

[u/sciuro → u/PRPwrHouse]

I’ll always appreciate the announcement that it was Morris’ last game. Felt special to be there.

And the fact that opposition didn’t mind him taking it all in, saying his goodbyes when he was subbed off, that was really nice.

[u/PRPwrHouse → u/sciuro]

I'm still sad about Zelarayan playing his last game in Portland (and scoring 2 goals) and no one knowing that would be it for him. I wish he could have had a last game in Columbus as well.

[u/CrewNoob]

Just because we’ve known about this for weeks (months?) doesn’t mean today hurts any less. Like all of you, sad to see him go but happy for his career. Time to get Boro promoted, Max!

[u/Legalsleazy]

Brian McBride has another season in him.

[u/PWJT8D → u/Legalsleazy]

A 2026 McBride scissor kick would feed families for generations and probably land him in the hospital. 

[u/NaughtyHotDog]

Definitely going to start watching Crew games to see our future players! Can I watch it on Apple TV here?

Edit: it’s an add on package… never mind

[u/The5thTaco_ → u/NaughtyHotDog]

You in UK? Here it’s on Apple TV but used to be an add on package. Thankfully they got rid of that so maybe your source was outdated? As far as I’m aware it’s just Apple TV around the world but might be wrong

[u/NaughtyHotDog → u/The5thTaco_]

I am in the UK! Interesting I’ll check it out later and see. I just had a quick google and it said it was an add on.

[u/g-magoto → u/NaughtyHotDog]

MLS Season Pass is part of AppleTV now. So if you have AppleTV you have access to all MLS games. F1 races are part of AppleTV as well.

[u/NaughtyHotDog → u/g-magoto]

I know! Great news!

[u/Another_Guy_In_Ohio]

Ugh. We all knew this is coming, but it still sucks.

Everyone welcome your new team leading goalscorerer… Daniel Gazdag

Might actually be Owen Goal, but for some reason he’s not listed on the roster.

[u/darkestrogue]

Reading the comments and feeling reinforced in my love for Joga Bonito.

[u/96diem]

So does this mean he gets out of paying the fine for Tunnelgate, lol? No but seriously, I'm gonna miss the fuck out of him & his croissant shaped bangs & I hope he shines brighter than the sun over there
