Yeah, I'm glad that we're spelling it "winning" instead of "whining" today.

Haha, yeah, we'll leave the whining to our friends on the west coast.

Anyone notice the salaries for this year have been released by the MLSPU? Interesting to note that TFC have very few players earning in the 100-200 range compared to other teams.

Perhaps a structural problem with the way we've designed our roster?

The first picture is stunning. As for the team i hope the team over the break improve on finishing, really lucky to get a result yesterday but we sure deserved some luck.

There's a thread in the other forum about the salaries.

That's a very interesting point, by the way.

I think its because we have some seriously underpaid players vs over paid. Morgan, Henry, Kocic, Plata should be at 100k. While some of the older players are just earning unearned money. Aslo its because we have a 3rd DP, i think its ideal to have 2 then the 350k is split on 3 players. Most teams have 1-2 dps which is why they can afford those type of players your alluding too. I actually hope tfc stick with 2 Dp's going into the future.

Union fall to FC Toronto, 1-0

So we're "FC Toronto" now? :facepalm:

I would disagree. Both Henry and Morgan are still young raw talents and neither has played close to a full season yet. Once they show consistency in their play, then they get the bump. As for Kocic, remember that until Frei was injured he was our backup keeper. You need your backup to Be very cost effective because they are most likely to only play in a handful of games in the season. At 100k, it's conceivable you could end up paying him 20k a game in the end.
