Mo making Chicago's life hell in negotiating for McBride :)

^^ He thinks TFC stands for Total Fucking Charity.

Well, to be honest, I don't see us needing the allocation this year. The allocation is most useful when dealing with returning USMNT players (who we don't want/they don't want to play here). Other than that, it deals with the situation where more than one team files papers on a player at the same time. Of course, this can be circumvented by using a discovery signing (and I think we still have a few left). Essentially, I don't the need for us to keep top allocation, considering how few pieces we have left to add to our team this year.

Not just USMNT players. SJ used the first allocation earlier this year on Peguero, a Haitian. That was a serious mistake by them. Peguero only lasted a couple of games before going down for the year.

Didn't Will Johnson play for Chicago?
I wouldn't mind seeing him on TFC, especially after the U-23 tourney, but I think it's safe to say he'll be in Europe for a good while longer.

No deal for McBride yet


So where is Brian McBride?
No, he can't play in Major League Soccer until July 15th anyway, but why hasn't a deal for his move to MLS, an presumably the Chicago Fire, not happened yet? The deal has stalled as negotiations between the Fire and Toronto FC, current holders of the allocation spot needed to sign McBride have hit a wall.

Well, let's be honest, we all know these rules are completely unfair and stupid. Under the current system it's more likely a star player will be forced out of MLS as opposed to come back to the league (because the price to keep players in the league is inflated as you have to compensate the other team). MLS clearly didn't think these rules through before they made them...

However ... considering that the rules are what they are, it's up to individual teams to consider how they want to apply them. It's a competitive business, there are no handouts.

If Mapp won't do because he plays the wing, I'd like to see Bakary Soumare. He plays mostly in defence for Chicago but is also a midfielder.

"Mo needs to understand it's about doing the right thing," Klopas said. "Someone who has had a great career wants to finish in his hometown. He has to understand that."

Has Johnston been unreasonable during trade talks?

"I think so," Klopas said.

Hhrrmm??

-------------------------------

I`m confused!

I`ve just picked up a paper and read that our former striker Brian McBride will be signing for Toronto FC!

But, that will not be his true destination as he`ll then be sold on immediately to Chicago Fire!

Apparently, it`s something to do with MLS rules!

Can anyone enlighten me what those rules are because it seems a bit strange to me?

[TFC-Tyler]

Every second thread on this board tells the story, try looking around.

Basically, Toronto has first allocation rights to sign him, he doesnt want to play here and we dont intend to sign him, so we're trading (not selling) him to Chicago.

[sweetlemon69]

This article mentions him signing, taking 1 of the 3 options (signing McBride and then trading him, trading his rights without signing him, or passing all together and keeping our #1 spot). All the articles I've seen on the forum talk about Mo looking to trade his rights. Unless I've missed something... I know he's mentioned he wants to play for his home town club, but what if we do get him to agree to a 1 year or something?
