What should we get for McBride?

this is interesting. Based on you just saying we had a deal today with NE....
what about Rolfe?

trade him for some grass...
just make sure there is enough for everyone...
Other than that NCAA lad that would count as a Canadian what's the depth of the upcoming draft class like?
I got some grass, but I'll want money for it, not some aging american git who crosses himself when he scores.
Justin Mapp and Wilman Conde of the Chicago Fire are rumored trade bait for Toronto FC's stake on Brian McBride incoming from the English Premiership.
Got this from
TFC news
We are going to get either Wolfe or Barrett. I don't think they would give us Mapp and I the last thing we need is another CB and if they got McBride they would have a overload of strikers (McBride, Frankaoski, Wolfe and Barett).
He means Rolfe. I've done that a couple of times, too. Weird slip to make, I guess we're thinking of Josh Wolf when typing or something
Chicago fans seem to think Rolfe is out of the question due to potential, that Barrett is more likely. I don't think Mo will settle for a 1-in-6 guy as his main striker though, since we already have a pretty speedy one sitting on the bench.
You never know, it could be a three way deal. We keep Mapp and trade Conde.
LINK?
Nyarko seems to me to be in line with todays trade. His status is International/Developmental on Chicago's roster which makes him easy to add to ours and it still leaves an international spot open for a DP. I suppose you figure Chicago would value him to highly for that but hey he would be so deep in the pool of forwards at Chicago the odds of him seeing any game time is slim to none. The fact he's on a gen-adidas contract means the league has a vested interest in seeing him play and we just proved the value of draft picks in that trade for Phelan. Total speculation on my part but
Mapp is a mid... we have enough of those.
Conde is a Cb... we have enough of those too.
We are limited in roster space.
They are only worth trading for if we can unload them to some other team.
We need a finisher and we need allocation cash to keep the team together next year.
Conde's contract ends this year according to Chicago BS'ers so what's the point of keeping him? Transfer fee? The only team that has really wanted Conde is NYRB. I just can't see the use of sending McBride to Chicago and Conde to NYRB, thereby strengthening two teams in our division unless we get something REALLY SWEET in return.
Every time I see "three way" on the internet, I think of this.

I would love to see us just get allocation money and sign a quality striker instead of trading for anyone...although I would love to see Mapp here.
The problem is, allocations are temporary solutions. I think we need to be very careful how many allocations we choose to use to buy down player salary, since next year we're on the hook for the full amount (and we don't want to get into a situation where we're 600k over the cap and need to dump players just to get compliant).
yep, was thinking that.
Conde to NYRB for money allocations and whatnot.
They want him, he wants to be there and chicago would free up capspace..
PS
we will sign a top level starting striker, i just dont think itll necessarily be from Chicago
the more grass the betterI mean on the field of course
Why aren't we going to take mcbride, woudlnt that make the most sense???? did i miss something?
The fact he wants to go to Chicago, has said as much, only wants to play a season and a half
Thanks for clearing that up, so it seems that chicago has the upper hand on this one. hope for the best, I like getting the international spot for phelan though, thats sweet, adn will be perfect for a non DP european striker whos odler eh eh?
Patrick Nyarko.
We trade McBride's rights for Nyarko. We need a forward and he's young, talented, went 7th overall in the draft and he's sitting in the reserves. He'd be a great addition going forward. altough he won't solve our striker problem this year, him and Smith should develop quite nicely in the future.

Okay, that link was certainly not what I had hoped...
A lot of you seem to think we'll get a player. I'll be happy with allocation money, enough allocation money to give us room under the cap for Mo to sign a striker DP or no.
I don't know how much space we have now but I would think it is limited at the moment.
