They paid $10M in transfer fees to get him ?!?!? WTF were they thinking ?!?!? Toronto will never recoup that money when added to his salary - he's not that big of a jersey pull and he's not putting extra butts in seats (for a Canadian team) that couldn't be done with somebody else. I'm floored by the gamble taken and the gall to initiate it.
It was completed for $1M less than the original deal. Dallas hurt themselves by calling it off because they then didn't have any leverage with Castillo being persona non grata within the club. It wasn't like he'd ever play for them again. They got fleeced.
Original deal was $4 million to buy. This is $3 million for a loan, with an option to buy for an additional $1 million or more. That is not worse.
Ah, read it wrong.... Thought it said $3M total with $1.5M through end of year and another $1.5M to buy outright. Instead it's $3M through end of year and another $1-1.5M to buy.
You'd have to think with a $3m loan and another $1m to buy, thats almost a certainty.
His best best with any new flare-ups is to go full-kit wanker on his way to the embassy and hope he isn't stopped by a rival's group of fans. The situation may be one of political nature, but that country loves them some good footy...
You might even say they are footy lovin.
While RB contacted him, it's didn't seem like he said they were a given destination. Just that he was open to MLS. He's also never struck me as the type that runs non-stop during a game - his style is more deliberate.... The whiny twit Marsch would have a fit with that attitude.
