We swapped allocation position with Houston for an international slot. Funny that no one disclosed it. They used it on a player who sounds a lot like Ibbe....

By dropping to number 10, we're not likely to get anyone via the allocation process this year (remember, pretty good assets could be available in the allocation process, we turned our rights to McBride into a lot)

This obviously is a big part of what caused Frei to drop in the draft, international slots are becoming more valuable.

We lost two INT spots coming into the 2009 season as provided by the league, we also have 2 US spots coming up at the end of 2009, as well as losing the full INT that we gained from the Cancela trade.

I don't think something is up that wouldn't have been in the works regardless of the trade, but it's more that Mo was making a trade sooner rather than later, so he doesn't get into a position of weakness (where he has more players signed then INT/US spots available, and either needs to dump someone, or do a trade for a spot).

This is really interesting as valuable assets continue to come into MLS via the allocation process. Here's the next "McBride", unfolding right now...

There are two "next McBride"s coming down the pipe currently, Convey and Beasley. Neither of those two would have made it past LA and SJ (in the one and two spots) and they probably would have wanted an arm and a leg to trade for the spot (just like Mo did with Chicago).

I think it was a good trade made, as we needed the INT spot.

Not to start the debate over an international CB, but could this be the sign that we've been waiting for?! Either an international CB or the official signing of Pablo Vitti? God, I can't wait for this season to start. KC is gonna rock for the season opener if this the news were hoping it is...

Dynamo need the allocation spot to sign Felix Garcia....

"To sign Garcia, the Dynamo traded an international roster slot to Toronto FC and swapped the No. 10 allocation ranking for the No. 3 spot that was held by Toronto. The international slot will remain with Toronto FC for two years. "

I'm I'm not mistaken that's how we got McBride rights. Basically, if someone comes back TO the MLS after being signed then that player goes to the team at the top of the allocation ranking. We were 1st when McBride came back because we were the expansion side at the time.
