NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

I don't know if what you have highlighted applies to acquisition costs. This is so teams can't have contracts that are for 10 million one year and 300k the next which would allow teams to sign 6 DPs.
I mean, not easy is different to intractable. Is there a way through?

Ah. I suppose the "amounts payable over" part implies that it's not transfer fees, because they're unrelated to the contract.
derek_villa's reading is most likely right:https://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/commen...dly_making_a_9_million/dtq7rly/?context=10000
This would suck, because it would mean we can't buy down Medina.
It's always possible that his transfer fee wasn't what was reported. At a salary that low and with so much TAM on the table, I'd be surprised if NYCFC didn't do everything they could to structure the deal in a way that kept him in range for a potential buydown.
I thought that thread mostly backed my original reading (that transfer fees were averaged out over the length of contract years not including option years).

Probably did, I caught the tail end of the conversation and thought I was posting on another thread entirely. But yeah that's the takeaway: transfer fees are amortized for DPs and TAM players but not for everybody else.
Ok that's interesting. I'm perhaps optimistically reading it
derek_villa's way now. However it wouldn't do much for parity. You could essentially sign 3 new Medina-esque DPs each year. There would be a pretty rapid loss of parity.Can't the Harrison 750K GAM transfer money be used against Medina's transfer price taking it down to 3.25M? With $770,833 in guarantee. That would get you to 1.5833M amortized salary a year which is close to TAMable.
Of course, that requires them using the Harrison money now.
Of course, that requires them using the Harrison money now.
Or why can't we do this. New contract, his transfer fee now sits on his old one.
Can't combine TAM and GAM.
I don't think you can magically wipe away money you've paid from ever hitting the salary cap.
So you'd use GAM this year on the transfer fee and TAM next year. Or am I just butchering that?
Alfredo Morales is leaving Ingolstadt. We can definitely use an extra box to box midfielder.
This would be excellent. He has similar Bundesliga II stats to Alex Ring before joining MLS.
