“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Allocation Ranking (as of Feb 16, 2012)
- Montreal - have so many cbs
- Vancouver - couldn't afford him
- New England - possible
- Toronto - WE need him
wtf why did we give away our best player in our youth academy??
What are the trade, transfer, acquisition options right now? Don't we have to wait until the trade window opens before we can make any moves? Please tell me that isn't the one in July.
Oscar Sanchez can play left centerback maybe?
Not sure about him

In his weekly column “Se dice en… Europa”, MARCA’s David Ruiz reveals that Spanish defender Javi Calleja could land in MLS next summer.
According to the player, Toronto FC is the MLS team interested in his services, and since his contract with current team La Liga’s Osasuna is close to expire, the Spanish defender said he is open for an opportunity in American soccer.
“Honestly I wasn’t expecting this, it was an authentic surprise for me”, Calleja said to FutbolMLS.com.
“A source told me there is a chance to play in the US, in Canada to be specific…, Toronto FC is the team interested, they have been observing my style of play, and considering my contract situation [with Osasuna], they were thinking of making a serious offer to me in case I was interested to play outside Spain”.
Reports in Spain have confirmed that Osasuna will not renew Calleja’s contract for next season.

Guys what is our cap-space estimate with Frei going on Season-ending Injury. Any word about Dicoy Williams?
B) TRANSFERS AND LOANS An MLS player may be transferred or loaned at any time to a team outside the League (subject to that team’s Federation’s transfer window), subject to the consent of the player.
The registration windows – the dates between which MLS may request the transfer certificate of a player under contract in another country – are as follows:
January 21 – April 15 (Primary Window)
June 27 – July 27 (Secondary Window)
***
Domestic transfer window is open until Sept something. TFC has until 15 Apr for international transfers

Remember guys Montreal does not have the first allocation pick because they picked up Eddie Johnson with their first pick and then traded him to Seattle for Lamar Neagle and Michael Fucito.

Calleja is a left winger, but I guess he moved to LB recently? I don't know how good he is recently, but all those years in La Liga gotta count for something in terms of experience
There are a lot of guys 5'7-8" who can flat out play in MLS. Size is useful, skill is better

Legit, what the hell are we doing chasing left midfielders??
We. Need. CENTERBACKS
Didn't NE pick Nguyen after Van released him via the allocation? Which would put us 3rd?
The more skill and experience the better. Keep bringing in any players who are an upgrade at any position.

Yeah, Montreal isn't first anymore are they?
It goes Vancouver, New England, Toronto FC?
Montreal is already out due to the Johnson pick, so we're actually second then.
Nope, it was weighted lottery.
http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news...evs-new-system
yes ofcourse but in this league imo you go for athleticism/size first and then
skill level because the league is based on the former
hence why marvell wynne continues to win mls team of the week honours, and aceval someone who many would argue is a far more technically superior player is having a shit show.
And I just asked Kyle McCarthy from New England to confirm it for us,
1. Vancouver
2. New England
3. Toronto FC
I don't know much about him but looks like he's worth a punt if he drops in our lap.

What about cap space? I thought that TFC was almost at the spending limit.
