Podcast: Moïse Bombito Transfer Scoops

PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. After a nine point week, it’s all vibes here on Holding The High Line. Rabbi and Red banter about silly season. We discuss why we think the Rafael Navarro permanent transfer is not done yet and what the timeline could be. Then there’s Olympique Lyonnais’ interest in a Rapids center back. We’ve got Moïse Bombito transfer scoops. Matt’s got some information on that and perspective on how the Rapids could be approaching that. There’s a lot of moving parts and variables to consider. Still, it’s a bull market for those with Moïse Bombito maple syrup futures.

Then we discuss the two wins from last week. Djordje Mihailović got a hat trick at St. Louis CITY. Sebastian Anderson looked good. The team managing the game state well. How about that clean sheet even with the penalty miss.

Then there was the 4-1 win over CF Montreal. Calvin Harris did so well. Mihailović scored again then they did Navarro a solid by setting him up for the fourth goal in stoppage time. Plus, the Rapids players, staff, and fanbase showed support for Bombito after he was racially abused on social media. #WeStandWithBombi

Matt and Mark then look ahead to LAFC on Saturday. Colorado has never won in five games there and have been outscored 14-2. Kei Kamara revenge tour? Can the Rapids avoid playing small like previous games there? This match could feel like a playoff game if so.
