Guess it's about time to close this thread and open the in season speculation thread since our season starts today?

He has to get his visa, international transfer certificate, etc. It all takes a few days

I was talking under the assumption that Aketxe was a formality and included in my calculation, while you are talking about him as one of the 3 additions. So I think we're on the same page regarding...

His contract is done at the end of the year according to transfermarkt. Maybe if we're lucky, we got him on a 2+1 option deal and he's happy and wants to stay one more year

It doesn't say that it will be three morr TAM players after Ager, that doesn't seem reasonable cap wise; just says three players, which would sound about right. We have 5 open slots I believe room...

I didn't mean to imply he doesn't have sources. My comment was from his response of "likely usl". Wasn't a definitive answer. Sounded like his own personal thoughts to me, just like we said it was...

He's clearly speculating and knows about as much as we do, which is nothing. As others have said, we've seen many reports over the last year of him signing with various teams all over the world, so...

We previously mentioned that we signed Caleb Patterson-Sewell as our third-choice keeper, but I don't think it was mentioned that we made a trade with NY Red Bulls to acquire his rights.


...

Really gotta hand it to Bez on these TAM signings. Transfer fees are included in the cap, but Vasquez and Aketxe on frees, Auro on loan, and VdW on a 200k. So 200k transfers fees combined for four...

Current team status. 6 of (7 if Ager Aketxe is finalized) 8 International Slots used with 6 (5 if Aketxe signs) remaining. Therefore only one of Kubel/Endoh can be signed assuming a trade for a new...

We also acquired 50k of TAM in the draft day trade where we got Kubel (traded our first for an early second - Kubel, and 50k in TAM). Not too much, but not insignificant

He's been in camp for a few weeks. Was in the NASL, but with the season change with them, figured he was probably going to sign with us

Tfc officially announced Auro on Instagram

Wikipedia and Soccerway say Auro is 5'6, while saying Messi is 5'7

Allocation. Just looked it up. Wiki has every trade made. Atlanta traded one to LAFC for a fourth round pick. I wouldn't mind giving up a late pick for one
...

So with three international spots left, we have five names in contention - Mino, Auro, Quintero, Endoh, and Kubel.

Quintero is likely a no due to price. Maybe Endoh and Kubel on TFC2 deals to...

Any chance that the 5 million that they want for Quintero is actually in pesos and not us dollars? Just a random thought. 5 million pesos is 267,000 us dollars

Any chance of Auro, Kubel, or Hasler being able to play left back? Hasler does have midfield capability. Also the Darwin Quintero news is interesting. Would certainly seem as though Endoh is out of...

I think part of the reason people are penciling him in is the Dortmund II and Schalke II experience in Germany. I'll admit, I haven't watched much preseason, but that did get into my head a bit

$5.2M TAM?? I thought it was $4 million TAM. $1.2M + $2.8M in discretionary? That's how I did my calculation, ~$1M for Vasquez, ~$1M for vdW, $375 traded to DC equals $4 M available less ~$2.375M...

I didn't watch the press conference, but just based on my rough math (~$1.6M in TAM remaining), we could get 2 lower quality or 1 higher quality. I just feel since we already have Vasquez, Delgado,...

.
I agree they could very likely go that route again, but either way, they'd still have to leave an open roster spot for the 3rd goalkeeper, if he's on a USL deal in case we need him. Even if we...

I think we are knocking at the cap already, and need the depth. Doubt we have space for two TAM players. Read we have one. Vasquez likely got a raise and we have vdW so they're probably ~$1,000,000...

I think they may just waste two of them on Endoh and Kubel.
We have 8 roster spots open. We need a 3rd string keeper and Hernandez is essentially a lock to return with the GAM acquisition. That's...

I have to give credit where it's due. I didn't make that image. Found it on the twitter feed where tfc announced the trade
