Morales would be excellent as a Herrera replacement. He’s far more intelligent and polished, although a bit less athletic.
I was thinking Peruvian, to link with Callens. But USMNT eligible. I’d love him here too.
He’s better than Chanot.I like Ikea lot but hell prob want a raise so would or should we pay him Chanot money. What was he making?
Chanot wasn’t really good at the defending part of being a CB last year.
I don’t think we need to spend a ton of money on another CB, though. So I think we’re in the same camp. Which means expect
Ike Opara as a new DP any day now.
US-capped. But not nearly as often as should be. Somehow, USMNT is simulataneously terrible, yet too good to call in a year on year starter in the Bundesliga.
He also rejected several proposals to play for Peru before he became US capped, because he thought playing for the US gave him a better chance to get to the World Cup. Oh well...
It’s only his second day and Brad is already making us money.
Yes I know it’s not because of him.
Yes I know it’s not because of him.
From what I read of Twitter it’s basically royalties to the club. I wonder how MLS breaks up the funds.
The cash is probably evenly divided and the team that it's assigned to from FIFA gets GAM. But that would make sense and I'm just pulling it all out of my ass, so there's that.
The Club didn't have the services of those players for a few weeks despite paying them a salary.
There are rumors that MLS is going to increase TAM and the TAMable salary to 2 million. Could be a precursor to the end of the third DP slot? Maxi still making too much?
Funny story. The rumor is the TAM ceiling could be increased to players earning $2 million.
Maxi makes $2,000,000... and 4 cents. https://mlsplayers.org/resources/salary-guide
Do we still not know with certainty how transfer fees are allocated against the cap? Would impact analysis on Medina. But as a young DP, he only costs $200k instead of $500k against the cap, so might as well leave him in that spot.
Would be nice to be able to buy down Maxi, keep Medina in the young DP spot, and then bring in a CM and ST designated player.
Don’t we have a whole mess of discretionary TAM lying around that is “lost” if not used this season? Granted, it would require Uncle CFG to loosen the purse strings, so......
Yes. And yes, CFG would have to choose to use it.
I believe we paid an undisclosed fee for Maxi so that could complicate things. He might have signed before they changed the rules on how a transfer fee needs to be spread out over the life of the contract instead of the year it was paid.
This is what pisses me off so much about MLS, we have existing contracts and obligations as a team that started in 2015. Whenever a new team comes in they change the rules and we are left with money already tied up and unable to fully benefit from the new roster rules.
