HAHAHAHAHAHA. Idk what would be worse for Slippin' Stevie, never winning the epl title or going from Anfield to Shuart Lacrosse Stadium.
 
What about Will Packwood as a Young DP? Has experience with Claudio Reyna. Would only cost 200k against the cap even if the team had to purchase him.

He would be a great signing but he seems pretty important to Birmingham nowadays. Is DP money worth it for him?
 
Wouldn't be DP money. Would be young DP signing if he had to be purchased. Though transfermrkt says he is out of contract in June?
 
If you wanna go for a younger american DP as a centerback, then Brooks has the most upside. Although Packwood is more reasonably attainable, there are good quality mls centerbacks as well as potential players in the draft to fill that position.

Young DP is an intriguing option tho. But would anyone want to risk that spot on a raw player such as Zelelam, or Rubio Rubin or Junior Flores?

I wish we went for marcos lopes as a young DP on loan- I love the way he is playing for lille. Mad potential. He will be a beast if he avoids injury and gets regular minutes.

There is talk that Xaxi is still possible, SBI said there is an offer still on the table....but honestly he doesn't seem like he wants to be here and quite frankly Im not sure I care about how talented he is, if he doesn't want to be here then I don't want him.

After watching luyindula play and how well he was able to pick apart DC united, I think it became pretty apparent that having a good playmaker is what can set a team apart from the rest in this league. The problem with a guy like luyindula is he is not consistent. However, if we can find a solid, consistent, classy playmaker then we can do damage in this league. It would be awesome if we can get a young south american playmaker as a DP. Young DP's still have something to prove, and that will show on the field.
 
What's the difference between the Jacobson 150k cap hit and a Young DP 150k cap hit? Not that you could get a Brooks or Rubin, but I would prefer them at 150k in cap space.

A Young DP Cap hit of $150K is just that, a cap hit. NYC might actually be paying him a milion a year, but according to the cap its only 150k. 150k cap hit on AJ is just that, his total salary. But so far you only have 3 chances to do it and NYCFC has used up 2 of them already.
 
But does the Young DP count against the total DP numbers? Maybe it does.

But if you are thinking of a younger DP anyway, then pay the young kid whatever it is, knowing you have a smaller hit on the Cap.

I am really hoping so. I think this league is ready to handle 5-6 DP's. Could do 3 non american and 3 american Dps. Or 3 Over 25 dps and 3 under 25 dps.

And of course the cap needs to be raised. It's time for this league to put its big boy pants on.

Cool, then we can end up like the NASL. No thanks. Lets go for a mild trot as opposed to walking, running or standing still. I am hoping for at least 1 more DP, possibly limited to only North American players. Any more and it will be too much too fast. Not every owner has the wallet or stomach that CFG does to burn through money.

What I would like to see would be any means that allows the club to pay real wages to younger players, both those ready for first team games and those still developing. That's the best way to incentivize clubs building development academies that support long-term quality in the league. It seems to me that youth player investments provide the greatest opportunity for exponential returns. I like the idea of a full exemption for young players (particularly Aemrican players) who spend over X years in the club's DA. I'd also like to see sales of those players abroad add cap relief in some way, either through proportional cap exemptions for transfer fees received for homegrowns or greater allocation of the allocation monies.

Others have hinted at the same goal. Surely, MLS has to have this goal in mind. The specifics shouldn't be too difficult to be figured out. I'm not even sure how much of a CBA issue it is from a bargaining perspective since it would focus on future players far more than current MLS players union members. If anything, the players should be for it because it doesn't force as much of a choice between paying veterans vs. youth.
 
We are going way off topic, but don't MLS clubs already get exceptions to HG and youth, they get salary relief and they get a big chuck of the eventual transfer fee. Are you saying they just need to buff it up or is that not what you are talking about?

I realize what you're saying, and I am saying they need to step it up. They only allow a few per year right now. There is also a huge problem in MLS teams not being able to compete to get guys Pulisic, Haji, Boxi, etc. They have no really competitive means of signing these players that would afford the players and the club a chance to get paid. LigaMX is stealing a lot of young talent right now. Xolos have like 6 USYNT u-20s. No MLS club is close to that.
 
Mix Diskerud played his last game in Norway today. Went the full 90 in a win. Rosenborg finished the season in Second Place.

If the money makes sense, HE WILL play in MLS next season. His father needs to stop acting on his behalf.

I think I agree. I think they want a American from Europe, thats why they grabbed the Allocation tie-breaker.
