Lots of spec tonight that Cheyrou will be retiring - possibly to take a coaching position with the Academy.
Would be a dream if the 2018 TAM was used to bring Atiba Hutchinson home to upgrade the Delgado position.
RE Cheyrou: absolute class intelligent player. All signs pointing to him staying here to work within the club. That would be good news.
Just a reminder Teams who play in the final are required to do some roster moves today.
I am hoping the team told those involved all before last night I'm pretty sure Moore knows he will be uncovered for the draft.
I vacilate between thinking LAFC is going to grab Irwin or LAFC or going to grab Moore for some trade back allocation money.
^ Beitashour is another potential target here. He's not from LA, but he is from California and the latter has a pretty large ex-pat Iranian population.
Think he's out of contract if memory serves but not sure that would stop them.
It's so annoying to think that we might lose someone we care about 24 hours after the victory parade. I know that's the sports business, but I wish this timeline wasn't so stupid.
Two years ago, Portland mangement pulled guys out of the champagne celebrations to tell them - Seattle apparently did it the next morning before the flight home.
I would be VERY suprised if Bez didn't chat with the players being moved last week sometime.

Manning also confirmed they will use all of the new Discretionary TAM
With 2.8 million TAM there should be more than that with some good cap management
Interested to see what happens with fringe guys like Endoh, Chapman, Morgan, and Hamilton. Something's gotta give especially if we bring in more Mavinga salary level players.
It was Cheyrou that intercepted the ball which lead to the Vasquez goal! https://youtu.be/6Y1n1Nkn7bM
Moor is a FA and Beitashours to. Why would we protect them?
Maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure they want to put ink to paper with the GOAT.
Hutch plays mostly CDM/RB, wouldn't be a fit up there. With MB in the fold for the foreseeable future I don't see Hutch playing for Toronto ever considering his age.
The player I dream of for now, but probably is out of our price range is Junior Hoilett. Plays either wing, excellent shot from distance, can cross, draw fouls....would be an offensive threat with the attention already on our main 3 attackers. Out of contract in June and only 27. Just think his wages would be well beyond what TAM can buy down as the internets suggest he's on 3-3.5M GBP.
A lot of this DTAM salary budget is going to be used for South Americans but I'd like to see if there are any options in Liga MX for kinda mid-level, bench but gets minutes type players.
what about lucas cavallini? Might be to much of a drama queen for the group but he is good friends with oso?
It's been a long journey from Marseilles to the Six; Cheyrou. Cheyrou.
We never stopped hoping; you were our midfield fix, Cheyrou. Cheyrou.
We won't buy down a DP. If we need to create additional salary budget space we'll buy down Vazquez's charge, otherwise we'll use the TAM to make player signings.
Would love to get Hoilett, he has been putting in goals too, very in form since a great Gold Cup. I watched his 2nd half yesterday, somehow Cardiff wen't down 0-2 but of what I saw they dominated, even at 75th minutes 0-2 you felt they had total control and could tie, which they did. A lot of their offense goes through Hoilett one way or another.
Edit: Cardiff looks good for him though and he's on way to promotion.
didnt he jus sign a new contract?
