I like the move. Draft picks are largely a wash imho. Without know the TAM amount given up hard to judge.

Love the moves tho Johnson is not the DM we are looking for. Not sure how they are going to setup to balance the team but adding three quality starters to our core group is great. Props to Bez.

John has never led us wrong expect maybe intially with the Giovinco stuff. I can't stand Larson these days personally..

Anyway great work by Bez. If we can get the RB spot confirmed we are on the...

Expect Kantari to be bought out now.

One less keeper.

Huge. $800,000 this year plus add on the contracts we cut. We have room. Let's not fuck this up.

Zac MacMath is apparently done at Philadelphia. Was on $130,000 while loaned out to the Rapids. Prob not our top option but he has over 100 MLS games played and is only 24.

edit- don't think he is...

I am waiting patently to see what happens with the Omar Gonzalez situation. If the league makes new rules for LA it will only help us lol. Have heard other teams squabble about the same salary cap...

So adding it up... (all base salary)

Findley : $225,000
Jackson : $165,000
Bendik : $150,000
Konopka : $66,000
Total :$606,000

If you dump a buyout on Kantari (hoping) then...

+1 for Manning now. Vanney's favourite boy will be no more thank fuck.

Glad we are getting a new keeper. Hopefully this isn't a tact to resign Bendik in entry draft at lower $$$. We need a new...

I think the absolute mininmum we need is a starting GK and a DM.

CB's havent been good but to be fair they never were really given the proper set up to succeed. Should we expect more with the...

Bono was GA so no cap hit. Home grown no cap hit in their initial contract? Still a little unclear on that. So probably Chapman, Aparicio, Manella and Hamilton aren't on the cap? Morgan for sure...

We have his discovery rights apparently

Not to dampen the mood

Duane is saying we had him on our discovery list so no other team could touch him. Apparently he was looking into Europe, Germany specifically but it did not work out.

Great if true. Exciting player to watch. Not sure if step down to TFC II is best. Can't be worse the. Findley eh if he makes first team.

Out of contract on a free. Could pay dividends in future.

100%. This is why we must dip into South America again. We have had scouting success down their before (Laba, Gilberto, Urruti) so why not again? Value for wages in massive in SA. If we go the aging...

Not sure there is much here. He would be riding the bench, TFC would...

Who do we use our one buyout on? Easy answer is Findley ($250,000) or Kantari ($345,000). However we need a a new keeper and not sure when Bendik's contract ends (Thought it was this January but not...

We do need a real DM. Cheyrou I like but he is not the destroyer we are looking for. People keep going on about Laba. Well I assume there is a lot of South American talent that we can grab on lesser...

If we only got him a couple of years ago...

Would like him back on a lower $$$ more in a backup role. He is not the destroyer DM we are looking for tho.

Yep, I have always hated our 2 DP striker approach. It mandates us to play in a 4-4-2 to get them on the field on play people out of positions. I personally would rather have a destroyer DM DP, CAM...
