HOLY CRAP!!!! WE SIGNED DOOGIE HOWSER!!! Why couldn't we have done the when Fatso and Jack were injured last season??
No, it's not. GAM can be used to buy down salary implications OR purchase a player.
Time to revive the "Request a Forum Feature" offtopic thread NYCFC_Dan liked so much
You guys are splitting hairs and it's obvious you both know what GAM is. You could call it "salary cap" in the sense that the more GAM you have, the higher your salary cap (both team-wide and for individuals over the DP threshold that can be bought down).
I am not sure, but I believe it allows to to buy a player over your current salary cap limitations. You still have to spend the actual money, I think.

Think Vieira will add a babysitter to the training staff? Or will Emily take on even more responsibilities?
So apparently Chris Wingate is a Norwegian-born American midfielder.
Now where have I heard that before?

I can't tell if these players are getting younger, or we're all just getting older...
That's what I love about these SuperDraft players, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
Where did you read American? We don't know if has a passport, yet alone a green card.
True enough. Now I read back it clearly doesn't say that, I just tricked myself into thinking it did. That said, I would guess that with a surname like "Wingate" he's almost certainly the son of American parents (if his parents were British/Canadian/Aussie/otherwise Anglo then the NYCFC article would certainly have mentioned it) and as I understand it US citizenship law makes him a US citizen from birth so long as he has at least one American parent who has spent at least a few years in the US since childhood, so I'm going to assume that the odds are that I'm right here until NYCFC or MLS declares differently.
A buddy just emailed me regarding DeGraffenriedt:
He's a respected poster on Big Soccer and was one of the earliest (maybe first) to compile the list of Americans playing abroad, so he's not green with analysis.

did he give you tips on how to pronounce his last name
Is it bad I want to see DeGraffenreidt succeed just so I can see the disdain in MLS/ NYCFC in having to print that on a shit ton of home and away kits??
