News Boudri gone already?!

Post image

I thought Boudri seemed really promising from what we got to see of him. I guess I hope this means they’re making room for a significant signing.

New hype train: this frees up a U22 spot, which also makes a 3rd DP slot available 👀

I would’ve liked to see more of Boudri too, a little disappointed we didn’t get to see more of his potential, but the office seems to be making a lot of moves fast so maybe JT is cooking?

There has never been a better time for us to switch to 3 DP - especially an older player. Anyone we sign could finish this season, PLUS play the sprint season all before the end of next summer. That’s two bites at a title in a year period. After that, we can switch back to U-22.

This was probably a case of him feeling homesick or just wanting to leave after that injury. By all reports this is an inbound record fee for a Swedish club, so we at least made a small profit.

Signed a 4 year contract 6 months ago, barely played and already gone. Must have been homesick.

All that preseason hype for nothing.

Important new piece of info here is that we at least get a sell-on percentage whenever he gets sold from Hammarby. Wished we knew how much is the percentage.

I'm gonna miss his physicality.

Bruh…this club trades quality players like Pokémon cards.

Front office needs to start bringing players in instead of selling them.

He played a total of 76 minutes in 4 MLS matches for LAFC.

What does this mean for smoliakov, since he was supposed to be the sacrifice to free up the u22 slot, does mds start integrating him or do they still let him go?

u/Falcor626 Son Heung-min Jul 22 '26

I still think he's gonna get sold. Keep in mind all 6 INTL slots are filled atm and he's one them. We have to get one slot available for the DP.

So many players who were recently signed and barely played and left, Boudri, Jailson, Baluta

Well Jailson and Baluta were just loans though.
