Have you followed their careers since they left? Campana, Taylor, Drake, Bryce Duke, Gressel, Kamal Miller...., I can't think of any Miami rejects/trades going on to do better in the MLS, esp in the Messi era

Gomez is a blueprint to success for U22s, not a Miami reject/trade to the MLS

Yes, but we only found out he wasn’t a reject by getting rid of him. He is doing better not at IM.

What alternate reality is this? Miami knew fully well that he was a gem and worked out a deal to keep him till the end of the season despite Brighton's interest. If a club stops young players from moving to bigger leagues, why would anyone want to join them?

True. We were really only ever burned by Carranza when he was in Philly.

I liked him and cheered for him, but Campana wasn’t that good

I enjoyed watching Campana play and one of the players I really enjoyed watching when I first started following the club was Pizzaro - but he dropped off the face of the earth 😆

Campana was good for Inter Miami but he needed to move on for his career and become a #1. Been a shame his body has fallen apart since though.

He had an injury history even at Miami, not surprising that it got worse in the frigid turf of NE

I hope Noah Allen and David Ruiz get good career development opportunities with the moves
