This thread is a catch-all for general banter not specifically related to transfer rumours.
Just looked at the FourFourTwo USA's list of top 50 USMNT players.
https://www.fourfourtwo.com/us/featu...ers-2017-usmnt
Morrow, Altidore, and Bradley are number 13, 3, and 2 respectively in their rankings. No other MLS team has that many quality players so high on the list (Seattle's are next closest 45, 41, 12, and 5).
^ Thanks for sharing. You can really see how well he reads situations in the video.
New jersey season has begun with....New Jersey

Latest rumour is schedule drops on Thursday.
Apparently 15 of DCU's last 20 games are at home due to the late opening of the new stadium
It’s now official, tomorrow at 2pm

LAFC not so subtly trolling LA Galaxy
3 TFC players called into USMNT January camp: Bono, Morrow and Delgado!
Good for them, recognizes the massive club season each of them had. On the down side, USMNT is a complete mess right now. Getting called into this camp not predictive of future call ups.

In 2017 MLS teams spent $210m in player salaries. The MLS Salary Budget allowed for $85m.Teams spent an additional $80m through DP exemptions.Which means teams used $45m in TAM/GAM to buy down contracts
More stuff in the twitter link
That guy also did some serous looking into how teams can grow their wage budgets if they don't spend on DP's - not that much it seems.

Looks like SKC has grabbed the latest version of Bez.

She worked for eight years as senior manager in player relations in the MLS league offices. Her job was to help teams manage rosters and budgets, while also approving player acquisitions and trades.
Also, I am amused that the MLS MVP award is named for an active Liga MX player.

Welcome to the club, Preki! 💚💙
Sounders FC hires former @MLS great, @ussoccer_mnt international Preki as Assistant Coach.
I hope their players are fans of training until they puke.
So new TFC Jersey is coming out about a week before the first game then? So Mid-February? When did the home jersey come out last year? In 2016 I think it came out days before the opener
Tee Heee

I'm not sold on this.

BMO is taking over the naming rights of the training ground, supplanting KIA. It's now the BMO Training Ground, and BMO is the official partner of the TFC Academy as well.
It wasn't that long ago we were speculating BMO might have been pulling out of their sponsorship of TFC...
Looks like they had an amateur redo the academy entrance wall to get BMO on there. It's not centered or left-aligned, just looks stupid.
The presser interviews today are extensive.

30 minutes with Vanney
20 minutes with Bradley
10 minutes with Cheyrou
Interesting stat from the Twitteratti:
Over the last decade, 83% of all CL players at QF stage started playing 1st-team football from 17.
Makes me wonder if North America's development model is all wrong.
Did anything ever come from the 'future considerations' in the Laba deal with Vancouver all those years ago?
Cheers
The Miami Project looks like it is finally a go

And in other news, after not being able to get a site in Austin, looks like Precourt might be open to selling the Crew.
