If he tests FA and gets an insane deal that we choose not to match, it will be because Pioli badly ****ed up the negotiation process prior to this and in the end lost all leverage in the matter.

If Carr leaves, it's an indictment on Pioli - period. And yeah, there are also circumstances where Carr staying could end up an indictment on Pioli. Frankly, Pioi's already dicked up the Carr discussions, all he can do now is mitigate the damage.

This whole post is full of assumptions.

There is nothing to indicate that Pioli has ****ed up the negotiations of any of this teams players.

In fact, quite the contrary is the truth.

All got fair deals, indicating we have done what we needed to do and retain our own homegrown talent and continue to build on it.

There is nothing indicating that we are:

A) gonna lose Carr to free agency in a couple months

B) that Pioli has ****ed up the negotiations

Carr was on a 1 year tender...unless he wanted to take a deal that averaged 4 million per year, we can't sign him till march.

I have no doubt that talks took place during the year and that he will be re-signed.
