Do you think that just maybe Vanney believes the younger players are MLS ready? I'm sure a lot of coaches are looking at FC Dallas and Vancouver and how young the teams are (and good). There seems to...

Part of me thinks we should give Bez some slack. He usually is good with contracts, but I can't help but think that the MLS Head Office is meddling again. Every time a trade or exchange doesn't seem...

You know, I really don't mind the sound of that. If we have a solid midfield and backline by that point, I think the energy of young strikers might overwhelm some of the league's older defensive...

Prior to TAM, having 3 DPs took a significant chunk of a teams salary cap that made it hard to fit teammates around them of good quality (case in point: TFC 2011-2015). The TAM mitigates this effect...

I bet they use TAM on their highest salaried non-DP player to become cap compliant.

Does anyone know what happened to Hanson Boakai? He's not with FC Edmonton this year and I haven't seen any signings in the news. It's like he fell off the face of the earth.

I'm betting that D-man they're looking for is a DM. So if they are looking for two players, does TFC have enough space under the cap to sign them? TAM can only be used to lower a salary to a minimum...

The way I see it, I think Bez is waiting until after the superdraft to make more roster moves. If they pick up a forward, Moore is probably gone. If they pick up a defender, They'll probably trade...

I get the feeling that Bez is going to wait with signings until after the Superdraft when TFC will know what player they got from the draft. If it's a winger, then they'll probably split TAM on a...

I could see Moore being moved for Boakai (who is no longer listed on the FCE roster), which would free up a fair bit of cap space and might allow for transition to a 4-3-3, although a 3-5-2 might be...

It looks like Perry Kitchen is on the outs at DC. Would we want him as a DM at $400-450K?

Maybe they're going to get Bruce Grobbelaar from the Ottawa Fury? Everybody else seems to be leaving. :facepalm:

If TFC blows $400K in TAM on a keeper, that will still leave another $400K in TAM for another player (stud DM?)

So then where would Moor, Hagglund, Zavaleta and Simonin fit on this scale? Is Moor considered better than O'Dea? I think since we have Moor the point is moot. It would appear that experienced...

I'm hoping that they didn't just use some of this years TAM to pay for WJ (which I'm quite ambivalent over as a DM signing). They'll need this year's TAM to pay down whatever Goalkeeper they get to a...

^ ...or they might go looking to see if an NASL team is looking for starters. I think this could be pretty good overall for improving Division 2 in North America as well. And if they ever end up...

Just saw this on the MLS website. Where is Williams on the roster?

Is there any advantage to waiting until after the reentry draft to pick up a player you want rather than picking them up in the draft itself?

I'd rather see this 4-3-3:
Stud GK
Beitashour-Schuler-Moor-Morrow
Johnson-Bradley-Osorio
Giovinco-Altidore-Boakai

with alternates
Roberts
Bloom-Perquis-Williams-Morgan
Warner-Cheyrou-Delgado

How about both? Based on what I've seen so far, I'd take Schuler if he's available at 9th and if he is even remotely close to his pre-injuries form, he'll be the steal of the draft.

Regardless of how good Beitashour is now, the fact he played with Morrow hopefully means they'll have an understanding of each other on the pitch right away. I kind of like the thought of Schuler as...

Oh crap, I just realized: That $300-345K everybody is quoting for Kantari, is that for the half season? That means he would be on for $600-690K for 2016, which would require TAM to be spent.

That TAM news is interesting. And it can be traded between clubs. It makes the salary cap a lot more fluid, with next year's cap effectively being $ 4.5 million once the TAM is included. That's what...

But if they trade for him, the deal would end in two years and Roberts would be 23. Good for transition, I think.

I think signing a good goal keeper on loan for 2 years should give enough time for Roberts to get up to speed to be able to take over the #1 position when he's 23. A loan means we could get a higher...
