i read this in a tweet from soccer by ives but i cant seem to embed the tweet here.

Well MacMath went to SKC and Meara might not be available so does that mean we go after Kronberg or Gruenebaum from SKC?

I think MacMath were just rumors I don't think it was finalized. I believe he's still in Philly. It'll be interesting to see the protected lists tonight.

Can you guys tell me how the squad is made up? I believe we are allowed 3 DP's

The other international slots you talk about, are they within the cap?

How many players are you allowed to sign within the cap?

 

[Fantazma]

Omar Salgado as a trading chip?

Three DPs, only the first ~385,ooo costs against the cap.

You get a total of 8 international players, rest of the team has to be Americans. We traded with DC for an international slot, so we have 9 now.

"To clarify, NYCFC will flip Omar Salgado in a transfer to a foreign club. Several Mexican clubs have long eyed him, like Tigres, Xolos, etc."

hmm... ronaldinho muahahaha... *escorts himself out*

NYCFC twitter just confirmed the trade from Vancouver and the trade to an unnamed international team.

its weird. i mean cant vancouver just transfer him themselves to the foreign club. I kinda hope he doesnt go to tigres, team is already stacked and may not get playing time. on the flip side they are in the copa libertadores and may get minutes since Tuca LOVES to play bench players in any international tournament he is in.

Xolos may be more believable.

Reading a story from MLS, there is a transfer freeze for all clubs this year until after the expansion draft. Only the expansion teams can transfer players, so they needed NYC to do the deal.

Transfer Freeze? thats new to me, thanks for that. Its like everyday i learn there is a new rule regarding trading players in the MLS.

 

[LightTheLamps]

so basically, the NYCFC impact is the shared transfer fee?

 

[MagnusPax]

That's my understanding. Maybe a agreement to not pick Vancouver players in expansion draft.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

we give Vancouver some "future considerations" in order to help facilitate their trade to a forign team and we get a few bucks back from the transfer fee for our trouble? I wonder if the future considerations are not picking their players in the exp draft?

 

[Vinjay]

Not sure I'm going to bother reading how the hell this deal works LOL.

 

[USAfan6]

So I'm assuming Vancouver just payed us in order for this to go through?

 

[BxLio91]

Wish we could have somehow gotten Mauro Rosales.

@SoccerByIves: I'm hearing NYCFC are lining up move to add Carolina Railhawks GK Akira Fitzgerald
