Football is back!! Doubters were circling near the end of the window but Charlotte FC appears to have defied the odds by bringing in a new record signing just before the deadline, Creative Attacking Mid Calvin Stengs from Feyenoord Rotterdam. Stengs projects as a transformational signing For The Crown, potentially one of the best players in MLS as the league hits its homestretch...and he may not be the only signing in store! A shock move for Miguel Almiron is also rumored, one which would not only shoot Charlotte FC into the talent stratosphere, but also would break the hearts of whatever fans Atlanta United has left.

Johnny & Brams are here to break it all down, plus put this news in context of all the amazing things happening across this Soccer City. The Independence are top of the league and fighting for glory in the Jaeger Cup, and the Ascent are preparing for a launch that will elevate women's soccer to heights never seen before in the Queen City. It's all happening, folks, and there has literally never been a better time to be a fan of the beautiful game in this town. Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride...we promise you will never regret it. For the Crown, For the Jacks, and For the Climb, BABY!
