Atlanta United's crucial transfer window ends with a whimper

The Five Stripes end the summer worse than they began it.

Another transfer window as come and gone for Atlanta United. Once again supporters are left with more questions than answers when it comes to their beloved Five Stripes.

Garth Lagerwey and company made some massive, club-changing decisions midway through this season. Three crucial choices laid the ground work for what was going to be an uphill battle for the rest of 2024. Parting ways with Gonzalo Pineda and selling your two best attacking players was a huge signal of intent to rebuild the core of the club.

While the summer transfer window offered supporters a small glimpse of what the future could look like, it failed to live up to expectations after so many high-profile departures.
