Brek Shea Going To Orlando
- Thread starter Tom in Fairfield CT
- Start date
But on the topic of Shea, its a decent get I think but Shea has't exactly been blowing me away in the Championship which is similar quality of play to MLS. I would assume he would be a DP and he certainly hasn't looked like someone prime to walk into MLS and dominate but we will see, he has a ton of ability.
Yeah it was part of the draft draft thing. We passed, therefore Shea goes to the next on the list, Orlando.
Oh not a DP contract? Pretty good deal then, I would assume OCSC is giving him the max salary (380k) plus some allocation money on top of that, if he isn't taking a DP slot for OCSC then its a solid move for them.
I am under the impression that Orlando will not run the club like Seattle, LA or NYCFC. They seem to be working on a much lower pay scale.
I would assume something like:
----------------------Meara----------------------
--Wingert---John---Hernandez---Williams--
----------------------Jacobson--------------------
-------Lampard-------------------Grabavoy-----
--------------------Diskerud----------------------
-----------Mullins------------Villa----------------
And when he finally goes full Agudelo and just hangs them up, he'll be really close to Disney, allowing him to bring his post-modern artistic stylings to their world renowned animation studio.
Aidan Heath stated that they are not actively trying to sign one. If there is an opportunity that they come across that is "cheap" and it fits his team, they will look at it. But he said they definitely won't sign a 3rd and probably won't have a 2nd. Which is dissapointing for a new team.
This league needs all of the new franchises and the big market old ones (New England, Chicago, Houston) to use more of their slots before a rational argument can be made for a 4th DP.
So are you not expecting a 4th DP slot to be added? Twellman is scary accurate it seems with his MLS reporting and he is saying the DP number will not stay at 3.
I didn't know Adrian "inchy" Heath was over there, he was a great player, good luck to him and Orlando (Except against NYCFC of Course).
I only agree if we don't have a USMNT on the radar. The USMNT allocation #1 spot is a big asset right now. It needs to be used. I would imagine it's used - but maybe we are thinking about it all wrong - maybe it is traded for a different asset (allocation money, draft spots, a young player).
Yea thats the big if in the situation. We can offer him a lot of money though, it will be interesting to see how his situation plays out. I know he has been rumored for a potential MLS move for a while.
Can NYCFC trade back in their DP#2 to MLS to use it on Mix's signing?
