    i thought they did away with developmental contracts? At least Garber or one of his helpers said that terminology is over under the new CBA.

    At least Joseph doesn't have the 12000 deal that guys got back in 2007. Haha. 40K minimum now I believe.

    Little does he know that "developmental contract" in TFC parlance means "get suited up, you're starting next weekend."

    LOL. I love how in MLS you're a "good young prospect" at 23 years of age.

    ..and Lionel Messi is 22.

    That is true of many North American sports where players go through the college system

    ..and Lionel Messi is 22.
    Guys like Messi, Ronaldo and Aguero are still the exception overseas. Plenty of players are still considered prospects at that age.

    Isn't he the one who's on a 7 year GA contract? I'd assume we are going to keep him around, its not like he counts against the cap or anything

    yeah, pretty sure Herold is already listed on the TFC site isn't he?

    Edit: just checked and he is.

    Didn't it have something to do with him being under 18 and therefore not allowed to play for us until his next birthday? I thought I remembered reading that somewhere.

    Yep, pretty sure it's something along those lines.

    That's true for international signings, like Sanyang last year.

    I don't think that holds weight in this case though. At least it didn't for Ibby in 2008.

    He's 6'2"

    Maybe we can convert him to a Centre Half.

    Since he's American FIFA would probably consider an international transfer. Same reason we had to wait for Sanyang last year.

    Hey folks, what about that 2nd rounder (?) from last year's draft: was it Kyle Hall?
    Whatever happened to him? Simply released?

    I don't think so.. cuz he's signed to an American company (MLS). And Ibby was considered an American too but he's been able to play for TFC.

    Nonetheless, this wouldn't explain why Herold doesn't even seem to be with the team at all. Sanyang practiced for almost a whole year with the team.

    Good points.

    At the very least the new NCAA rules means Herold should be playing for TFC Academy since it wouldn't affect the college eligibility of the other academy lads.
