Jack Harrison to Manchester City - Official

GAM from transfers up to 750K from 650K

League source indicates there is a proposal that the $750k in allocation for a transfer will increase 5 percent every year. That might not be finalized yet, but it's being considered.

It should be $750k + 5% of the total transfer fee. So a $5 million sale nets $1 million in GAM, and a $20 million sale nets $1.75 million in GAM. That way it will naturally scale as the league sells better players.

Right idea but 5% is way too low. Imagine selling a player for $25m and then not being able to buy down a $3m DP to replace him.

Besides, increasing the GAM limit doesn't really help a team whose DP slots are full unless you also lift the restriction that you can only buy down 50% of a player's budget charge with GAM.

While not perfect, the bigger news here is that MLS is starting to slowly remove the single entity grips. 100% of homegrown player sales. Increasing GAM for other plays sold on. Discretionary TAM.

 

[Jagmandeeep]

While the transfer GAM for a player sold is still low. It's a start.

In terms of the homegrown 100% rule change. Does this mean a HG player sold for 5 mil, will award the team 5 mil to use on the roster?

No, it just means 5M goes to the team, only 750k of which they could use for the roster. Previously it was 75% went to the team, and 25% went to MLS

No.

There is a difference between a team getting the money and how a team is permitted to use that money. Only the portion of a transfer fee that is received in GAM makes any improvement in a team's salary profile.

This is part of that solidarity payment stuff. If you develop a kid, you keep all of the money

We might be giants.

So, Harrison may be staying in New York this season after all. Would much prefer it that way. All out roster push for the 2018 MLS Cup then a sale in the winter where we get 2/3 since the r/MLS community is saying we'd only get 1/2 now since he's a SuperDraft pick (even though we didn't pick him...)

Two things to watch moving forward:

Does Harrison get a raise?
Is Harrison happy?

If no to 1 definitely no to 2. Even if yes to 1 probably still some no to 2, it will just be a matter of how he handles and channels the disappointment.

This guy is also saying Andy Carroll to DCU, so let's take that tweet with a grain of salt.

 

[Gotham Gator]

The words "feel they can offer Harrison what he wants in the medium term" might mean just what it suggests. Jack is more focused on getting good playing time and improving in the next year or two, and we can give that to him. If it comes with more money, all the better.

Hopefully, it is true and Jack is happy in the Big Apple for another year.

I've never believed that a trade somehow washes clean the fact that he was a Superdraft pick in 2016 (much less a trade within minutes of the pick itself).

Chicago couldn't have traded to us more than it actually held.

 

[Kjbert]

Matarrita got a raise. There exists discretionary TAM. We don't have to give him a raise. We have one more option year at $130k on him.

But if he's sticking around, I hope they give him a raise.

Why? What’s the difference if we traded for him then or a week later? A year later?

We didn’t draft him. We gave up assets to acquire him.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Gotham Gator - to be clear, I’m not disagreeing with your decision. I’m disagreeing with your logic.

It’s like being a little pregnant. Either the rule is interpreted as an MLS acquisition via draft or it isn’t. If the latter, milliseconds or millennia shouldn’t matter.

Drafees are drafted at inception.

You mean conception? Because if they have Leo involved in the draft, I may watch next year.

I have an irrational love of that man. Probably because he too likes to get fat and buy donuts at the same Dunkin’ I used to visit when I lived in Nikita.
