I hate to say it but I think that they just mabe considering Plata . I think that coach winters doesn't think that Plata can handle his own agienst bigger players .

This was seen in TFC's last home game when they Played him on his opposite side with an opponent closer to his size .

They also sat him out that last game with KC .

Would hate to see him go , he busts his ass running around out there

Keyman
07-25-2011, 06:07 PM
They didn't sit Plata. He was unable to get proper documentation to make the trip. The team had purchased a ticket for him to fly down, but he didn't get the document in time.

Keyman - MaxTO was referring to the last HOME game.

But hmmm, i think Winter Fancies plata as an attacker, i'm not so sure he'll be shipped out. LIkely Sturgis/Harden....maybe Zavaraise?

Hopefully, but to be honest I'd rather have Gargan on the team than Borman. At least Gargan can lob a ball into the box from the sideline whereas most of Borman's crosses go into the stands behind the net. Defensively, they're pretty much on par.

Armen - Where was the rogue that is peterson spotted? There is no way we are resigning him. Maybe here moving his stuff out to San Jose?

Gargan > Borman? hrmmm...Gargs looks to have lost 10lbs and is moving well, i'd keep him at base salary over Borman.

Stryker

I just realized what a great job Winter has done clearing out the overpaid players. With the exception of JDG who Im confident will be gone at the end of the season, the only overpaid players are Yourass at 81k, Gargan at 70k and Harden at 74k. Bouchiba is at 92k but who really knows how good he is.

QFT.

While Peterson maybe able to make the occasional cross, at $150k that doesn't cut it. AFAIK Tchani will be the same next year at $200k.

No, MaxTO was referring to the KC game, when Plata was out. Keyman correctly noted that Plata was out not by Winter's choice, but due to a passport problem.

I haven't seen any indication that Winter dislikes Plata. the kid has gotten the most playing time of any young player on this team.

my money is on Sturgis being shipped. he really doesn't fit the system. too slow on his feet, gets closed down easily, doesn't close down others well. may still have value with other teams. borman is a possibility, but im skeptical there.

i dont think ANYONE will take harden right now.

that is plata's natural side on the right (i hear) so with johnson now able to play the left thats why he was there..

and the paper work stuff..

so he is not going anywhere well when his loan is up maybe..

True. And if on the off chance we ARE close to trading JDG, it's possible we'd be taking in multiple players as well and need to get under the roster size limit (I can't keep track, how close are we to that?)

Or the club is making a run at the prestegious "Most players in a single season in MLS history" designation

Well said Scott, well said.

He was a 70k hit to the cap. A guy like Rosales at Seattles earns that much money this year....so...maybe it's a move to free up another US/CAnadian slot.

It's comical how little money these guys make. Don't any of you find it disturbing that you're paying several hundred $$$ per year to watch guys play professional soccer for less money than what you make for sending emails in the office all day? I certainly do. This league doesn't make any fucking sense when it comes to wage disparity. One fucking guy makes $1.7 mill per year only to be flanked by half-amateurs who barely make twice the minimum wage. What a fucked up league this is.

Simple solution: all money that teams pay to the league as part of fees/fines whatever (even TFC paying 250k or whatever for the right to use a 3rd dp slot) goes to a fund for players earning under 50k a year to use for rent and lease payments. keep their actual paycheques for food and whatever else, but at least then the players/league can take care of the costs of living a bit

Maybe because Gold is on the portion of the roster that doesn't count against the cap?

By the way, unless Gargan's departure was mutual, I believe TFC is on the hook for his cap hit because it is after July 1.

Agreed. Apparently, TFC has already made an offer and is waiting for a response from his agent. His playing resume suggests that he could definitely be an upgrade on the backline.

http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2011/20110725_103658_monsoreau-en-c1-avec-zagreb.html




The St. Etienne, Sylvain Monsoreau, (30 years of age, under contract until June 2012) is no longer favored by AS Saint Étienne manager Christophe Galtier despite a full season (30 matches Ligue 1) and could rebound in North America where two clubs in MLS, Toronto and Washington, have made offers. But the agent of the former Sochaux, Lyon and Monaco defender said therewas another track that could lead him to Dynamo Zagreb.

Before making an offer, the reigning champion of Croatia is waiting to find out if they will be participating in the group stage of the Champions League. A response is expected after the third qualifying round of 27 July (1st leg) and 3 or August 4 (return leg) against HJK Helsinki in Finland.

Should Matt Gold, oh I don't know, be doing this? Shouldn't management be more than a little pissed with him?

Doesn't look like he's overly concerned (can't blame him, he's been on the reserve team all year)

Agreed. Apparently, TFC has already made an offer and is waiting for a response from his agent. His playing resume suggests that he could definitely be an upgrade on the backline.

He played for Lyon too and won the French league. He is only 3o wich is ok for a LB or CB. I would get him for sure but it looks like he thinks he can still play at a high level so I have doubts that he will come here but who knows...

On this Monsoreau guy, it appears he wants to see if Dinamo Zagreb qualifies for the Champions League Group Stage before making his decision.

Are we willing to wait until the end of August to sign him?

I say get over and done with all the transfers now, so that next year will there will be a permanent backbone to our squad with very few trades, at least compared to this year.

A French LB would be a huge improvement to Borman and Yourassowski. They can also send Borman on a long, long vacation, in my mind.

Would he be played at LB, or could he be the type of guy who gets shifted to CB (ala Maldini) and suddenly becomes the more mobile experienced CB who plays with Iro..?

Not really a trade, but Cesar V to FC Dallas according to John Molinaro
