think of it within MLS rules. He’s IMPOSSIBLE to replace. Once you’ve committed to selling him, it doesn’t matter what he goes for. You could sell him for $50 million, but you end up with $500,000 of GAM. This isn’t Europe where Spurs can reinvest the Bale money in 6 players.
Just sell him if he wants to go. MLS roster rules don’t allow you to replace him. The money doesn’t help us one bit in replacing him. I think the club is being short sighted.
What you are buying with Taty is not just a guy who can score goals. He's a terrific defender at that position - lethal at the top of the press; maximum effort; gritty. Taty the goal scorer is not worth $15 million. Taty the complete package might be.
We also don't know what the gap is between what's been offered and the asking price. If it's small, CFG might feel that waiting out the bidders will get them what they think they deserve. If it's big, you have to wonder if Man City will buy him for $15MM and then loan him out with the expectation that his value will rise.
I respect this opinion, but disagree for two primary reasons:
1) Making more money from the sale may allow the team to increase its coaching budget to avoid losing yet another coach midseason in 2024. Funds received are not required to only contribute to player salaries.
2) MLS salary rules will, hopefully, change in the future. Holding the line on Taty's transfer value may not be of immediate benefit, but long term it could help set higher floors for transfers (Santi, Magno, etc.).
The rules have changed a bit. We keep 95% of what we sell Taty for. We get to use $1,102,500 as GAM and the rest for whatever else we want.
Taty is not going to be replaceable, but that's why we've gone out and signed players like Magno. The plan is clearly to get young players, develop them, and sell them at a profit. Thus, younger options will cycle through the system, and if they were well scouted and improve, we should continue to be a good team.
Remember what the Club said late last season. They were getting more revenue that season from selling Joe Scally than from anything else.

Crazy to me that we still have nothing. Potential season-ending injury and no word from the club three days later.
You think they want to give the Red Bulls any hints on a lineup?
Keaton Parks out indefinitely with another blood clot issue. Terrible.
What a tough break. The fact it's the second one really, really worries me. Aside from being such a key player (the key player, as far as I'm concerned) he's a young man and a newlywed. I hope and pray they can get to the bottom of what's causing this and get it straightened out. Very scary stuff.
David Lee pick up the white courtesy phone. Time to make some moves.
I’d rather see Haak than any more of Acevedo.
This would be something
