2018 Roster Discussion

[Midas Mulligan]

Ugh. Not the direction I'd prefer. But it would be a step up from what we saw from RJ or Ethan.

I'd take Struna at his price and use the money elsewhere. I don't see game-changing difference between the two.

i.e. may have been or will be re-signed.

Although, we could also just be doing him a courtesy to stay in shape ahead of him signing elsewhere during the January window.

Rossi also trained at RBNY for 3 months before signing with Genoa according to the tweet below, so might be nothing.

But yeah, bringing Brilliant back on a reduced salary would be great.

I think it's us doing him a solid. If Ferraressi is on board, how much of a salary reduction are we talking? Going to half his wages?

The fuck is this? Who the fuck is making these DP offers? And why are none of them respectable? Fuck no. I don't want another Pirlo. I want a 10G/10A player MINIMUM.

I don't read DP offer anywhere?

Moreover, he has a 78 rating on FIFA 18, so he must be good.

Where does it say DP offer? I'm one of the most critical of the FO and this is just some bullshit to blame them for.

Found this in google images.

Coincidence? I think not.

Watch them spend their TAM on a backup 6

why do i feel thats bad ....or is it good? these rules always confuse me in terms of budget strategy

Well, it's bad because we are using TAM to keep our roster current rather than to improve it.

It also means that Matarrita is making over $500K now, because there is no transfer fee to pay (unless somehow this involves a buyout of the Alajuelense interest).

The injury means he isn't getting transferred this off-season - at least not at a decent fee. This probably ties him up a bit longer, so that we won't lose him on a free transfer in the near future.

 

[Kjbert]

Matarrita's new contact is now worth more than $481,000 per year. TAM is being used to pay it down below the DP Cap Charge.

We do not know how much of the rumored $2 Million of TAM was used. We do not know what his Cap Charge will now be, but if it is the maximum, Matarrita is now making what he and Brillant combined to make last year. All of Brillant's savings are gone.

PV also talked about the importance of having two good Left Backs. I guess we're sticking with a 4-3-3

Also worth noting there's no details on the contract length because why would there be?
