2018 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter The Toe
- Start date
I want a midfielder who is good at tackling, not instagram and poetry.
Well, we sat on a lot of dry powder in case something like this happened.
It has happened - so it is time to go out and spend that TAM on a box-to-box mid. The fact that Herrera is probably not coming back next year only makes it easier for us to use that money on a long term solution. No excuses.

Season-Ending Injury
Season-Ending Injury List
If a player suffers a season-ending injury, a club may place that injured player on the Season-Ending Injury List and receive roster relief (i.e., an open roster slot). Once placed on the Season-Ending Injury List, the injured player will not be eligible to play for the club in any remaining competition during that MLS season (including any exhibition games or tournaments, CONCACAF Champions League, Canadian Championship and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game). If the player placed on the Season-Ending Injury List recovers prior to the end of the MLS season, that player may only play in games for the club's USL affiliate.
Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player
A club may replace an injured player that is on the Season-Ending Injury List with a new player (a "Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player") in accordance with parameters below.
The club will remain responsible for the injured player's full Salary Budget Charge. Clubs may execute a trade to create Salary Budget space in order to sign a Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player. This is the only circumstance in which a club may trade for Salary Budget space. Clubs are only able to receive Salary Budget relief (paid out of the club's own pocket) for a season-ending injury under the following parameters:

- The injured player must be earning at least US$100,000 per annum.
- The injured player must have suffered the season-ending injury prior to the close of the Primary Transfer Window and the new player must be signed as of such date.
- The Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player may earn up to US$250,000 but not more than the player who suffered the season-ending injury.
- The club is ultimately responsible for the payment of the replacement player's salary (which will not be charged to the club's budget).
- Clubs will only be allowed to sign one such Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player a year. If the injured player occupies an international roster slot, the Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player may also be an International Player and occupy such a slot.
i wonder if the injury is actually not season ending ( but will take 3 months or so ) just to get him off our books, since he was going to go back to CFG afterseason anyway and try to get some else this summer where its more probably to get someone long term rather than in winter
We are after the primary transfer window, though, so I don't think this gives us salary cap relief. Our only hope is that we do have some more TAM money left and can make a signing.
Herrera was making $200,000 this season, so even if this was under effect, we would be limited to signing a player only up to $200,000.
Accountability for all the effing calls Crapman has blown against NYCFC. Suspension and him never getting assigned to ref NYCFC games again is a start.
I think that is correct. Herrera only made $200K, so the replacement amount might not have been that much anyway. The question for me is whether we would need an international roster spot in order to bring in an international to replace him. I think we probably do, but MLS, so who knows.
As for salary, we still have the $750K in GAM from selling Harrison, plus probably some other funds. You can't mix TAM and GAM, but there is no reason you can't use GAM this season and TAM the next.
We have to see what happens over the weekend, but this week is making a run for the worst in NYCFC history.
And that's a tall hill to climb. At least we can all focus on the USMNT and the WC for a couple weeks after.
The funny thing is that it can be up for the worst week in NYCFC history, or we can be in first place in the league.
Idk how it happens, but is Khedira ready for MLS post World Cup?
Maybe it will be all of the above.
4-0 in Harrison.
Herrera out for the year.
Beat Atlanta.
PV leaves.
Announce a stadium.
