The $1B number is also just the drop in revenue, not profit. The league had savings on salaries, reduced staff costs, didn't have to staff stadiums on game days, etc. No doubt the league didn't...

Perhaps, but one of the key advantages of the youth fund is that transfer fees don't count against the budget. No transfer fees for your own academy grads.

After sleeping on it, I have to agree that signing a 3rd traditional DP and one young player is probably the better option for TFC at this point. The likelihood of success with these young players is...

Some DP/Youth fund news from The Athletic. I'll copy/paste the relevant stuff. https://theathletic.com/2245419/2020/12/07/mls-2021-start-youth-fund-mauro-manotas/

This will significantly change...

And Vanney is gone...

He was in a tough spot when he joined the team. We were built with an older core ready to win and hadn't really worked in any youth players prior to his joining. If he decided to fully turn the team...

The team needs an additional left/right back. They're spoiled that Richie and Auro can play either side, although best with Auro on the left and Riche on the right. Even if Morrow comes back they'll...

I have decided to do some Youtube scouting for a new winger... I looked at Transfermarkt for wingers based in South America that are U23 (and ideally younger). One area we could try to work in is...

Reading the quotes from Curtis the team is open to Piatti coming back but at a TAM level. Team will also bring...

I'd be happy bringing him back on a lower salary. We also have an option to buy Gallagher. Not sure if that needs to be decided yet however.

At the end of last season we exercised options on Auro Jr., Julian Dunn, Richie Laryea, Chris Mavinga, Justin Morrow, Marky Delgado, Liam Fraser, Tsubasa Endoh and Patrick Mullins.

Marky,...

I had been wondering when we might get 2020 salaries. Looks like it will be a while, which is disappointing.

I think the only way we can exceed the TAM max for a DP is if they are a young DP. From the Athletic:

MLS will still allow teams to sign up to three DPs, but it reserved the right to “limit the...

I'm struggling to write Achara into the lineup for next season. We saw him for one game and he was great, but the league hasn't had the chance to scout him or force him into his flaws. I'm not going...

Maybe his salary went down for the last few years of his deal? I’m guessing Goff was just wrong though.

I wonder when/if the MLSPA will release salaries for this season. I had thought they...

Now here’s something interesting. I doubt any team would match what TFC is paying Jozy on a per year basis.

Perruzza's season with San Antonio is done, as they were eliminated in extra time. It was apparently a controversial goal as the New Mexico attacker appeared to elbow the ball. Perruzza had a strong...

Is there any possibility that Jordan Perruzza could join the team after the USL Championship season ends? San Antonio begins their playoffs this weekend. If they get bumped out early is there anyway...

Wheeler floated that idea on Twitter, but it seems ManU is going to keep him around because of their needs on the wing.

Julian Dunn back with the team after playing with Valour in the CPL. He had a pretty good run with Valour and was a finalist for the U21...

From The Athletic:

MLS will still allow teams to sign up to three DPs, but it reserved the right to “limit the compensation for the third DP to the maximum TAM salary of $1.61 million, unless the...

There's no way Gallacher is a DP. Transfermarkt has his value at $275k. My understanding is that any transfer fees can be spread out over the life of a contract or included in the year it's incurred,...

TFC has done a lot of covering for Jozy. I don't think Bradley, Vanney or Ali ever really threw him under the bus. For example, when he sat out the Montreal game for personal reasons (FTR, I think...

There's more than enough game time to go around. Both Laryea and Morrow have battled injuries this year. Plus, Laryea has shown he can play up on the wing. Given a condensed schedule down the...

TFC signs Jordan Perruzza. There had been rumours that european teams were interested in bringing him over. From last week:
