    For some reason, I wouldn't be surprised to find that Mo was unaware of Houston's discovery claim when he set his sights on this guy. Don't ask me why, but it just seems possible.

    All discovery claims are filed with the league. You don't think Mo would look at the list? Ridiculous.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    LOL - but in all seriousness I think Velez + some minor allocation could suffice

    There desperate for Defenders - and this guy wasn't on the radar for along time....this could be their one and only oppurtunity for the guy

    Seriously tho, I hope its not Harmse or Velez (not because they are good), but we are giving away from a position where we need backups (Gold Cup - Serioux). I don't know, what would Mo give up in this kind of deal.

    Not sure about that, you'd think if this guy is so good that they'll just sign him if they need defenders instead of trading him for our junk

    Can someone tell me how you get these discovery claims? I'm planning to go down to Peru and Brazil... possibly Chile as well.

    If Toronto FC hires me... I'll put a discovery claim on everything that I see...

    There is only a certain amount of discovery claims a team can have at any one time, I think its 3 or 6....something like that...

    Just because Houston also needs a defender does not mean that we'd trade a defender to them. Maybe Mo can dangle some allocation money at them or a draft pick... Maybe we trade them Johann Smith and they in turn trade him to someone else to get a defender in return... There's too many possibilities and only Mo knows what's going to happen.

    according to the houston forum they don't need defenders - they feel they have more than enough - 9 out of their 24 are defenders.

    this makes sense, because Onstad is going to retire eventually

    speaking of trades, Mo, work your magic and get Mullan too!
    liked what I saw of this guy at right wing for Houston

    definitely ridiculous!

    it's not like TFC can sign the guy. MLS signs the guy. MLS informs the clubs who has discovery claims, since MLS has to allocate the player to the team in an administrative sense.

    It might not be all that easy is what im saying

    The reason he's not there could be he doesn't want Houston...
    Afterall, they own his rights -
    if he's on trial with us and not them then there's something up there...gotta be a reason for it afterall

    And if we're the only team that's inquired thus far, then it appears to be there window to capitalize and get something for that asset

    True I completely forgot that he's a human being with his own wants and he can do what he wants

    I would imagine though that the clubs must have some input in the process as they have to deal with a salary cap. No point in signing the guy of teams can't afford him.

    so anyone have any idea how much allocation and cap space we've got left?

    this team better produce this year... next year no more allocation to pull down cap space

    I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere that we had 200K-250K left over.

    I am just wondering how the heck we can afford this team next season with no allocation. Unless we finish out of the playoffs and get the you suck allocation cash. And in that case the team needs to be blown up anyways.

    pray for a nice bump in the salary cap I guess.

    hopefully next year the cap starts to go up by more than the usual little bit and it doesn't really matter.

    i'm wondering when Garber is gonna start negotiations on the new CBA. There's gotta be some big changes coming.. the last CBA was signed before TFC, RSL, Chivas etc. lots of change since then.
