This is a good list. Would also add if the team were to sign a top level striker, then that kind of solves 4 and 5 as you move Talles back to winger, but he can "sub" in at striker.
2023 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Shwafta
- Start date
From the looks of it, Segal is capable of getting into some really areas. That late run against LAG was top notch. I don't think he's anywhere close to challenging for starter spot, but he could be useful off the bench this season.
The big question, given how much better Talles is on the wing, whether the team does better with Segal at striker to accommodate Talles in his preferred position, even if he is the weaker link in terms of quality.
Got the strangest question ever.
We know teams sign contracts, or even loan contracts, for players... but have two teams ever signed a "time-share" multi-team contract? i.e. "player X can play for either team" such to make the contract cheaper on both teams and split the total allowed games, or something? I don't even know if that's possible in the laws of the game or if anyone would even actually consider doing it - was just a random thought I had today. lol

You mean teams in different leagues, like us and Torque or Bahia? I don't think that's possible, though I have zero evidence or rule citations. Logistically it also would be crazy. Could be easier with proximity. Maybe within regions of Europe, or US/ Mexico, and SA teams with each other.
But I would be shocked if it's legal.
Sounds like a short term loan tbh. But to bounce back and forth? It wouldn’t be very good for team cohesion. If that were the case we should set that up the Girona right away.
i think this was/is a practice in Italy. I think two teams owned 50% rights for a player or something. but it complicated future transfers. the other option was that a team owned half of it and a third party owned the other portion ( usually an agents company), but i think this practice was banned recently by FIFA.
If we can get some Patrick Mullins level performances out of him, that would be great.
I didn't mean this post as a joke. If Segal can provide this year what Patrick Mullins did in 2015, that would be pretty decent from the youngster.
Ah Patty Mulls. I thought we were going to roll out a 2 striker system in 2016 with DV and PM up top and Mullins was going to have a break out year. I got a hypno kit with his name and number… and we all know what actually happened
sidenote....that hypno kit grew on me. so much that i got a replica in that clearance sale rack they have after games.
Mean in the same league. Say NYCFC and Philly shared a player. Or say Miami wanted to sign X expensive player and were like "heyo orlando come join in on this"
I have 0 faith it's legal or real, but wonder if anyone's ever thought of it.
But how would that work for playing time?
i think the player is technically "on loan" at a serie b/ serie c team ( who own like half of the players rights). i think its more the first division team not wanting to lose out on a future payment for the player, IIRC they did this with young players or players that are at an academy.
im just going off memory but process was something like that.
oh, it is, and that's EXACTLY why i was wondering it to begin with. Imagine rivals sharing a player lmao
A quick bit of research reveals that Ledezma was in the RSL Academy, so we might have to work something out there in order to sign him. He did not ever sign for their senior team, but did play for the Real Monarchs in USL.
What happens when they play each other? Which team is he/she on? Would they have the advantage or disadvantage because they know the other team so well and conversely the team knows them too well. Would they accidentally pass to this player and vise versa?
For example, Altidore played for the Red Bulls years before he returned to MLS with Toronto. This article says nothing about compensation to Red Bulls but does say he would have to go through Allocation Order. But Allocation is now dead and there is only Discovery rights. Maybe RSL put Ledezma on their Discovery list, but I believe that's the only way they get anything for him.
I think I might be wrong. The weird thing is, it looks like RSL might have more rights because they never signed Ledezma. Paul Arriola was in the LA Galaxy academy, played in Mexico while never signing with LAG, and then when he came back to MLS and DC, United paid $3M plus Garber bucks for his rights.
