    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.

    http://www.mlssoccer.com/es/news/art...a-javi-calleja

    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.
    “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.’

    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

    Frei's salary still hit cap space, however TFC gets roster back (this is to prevent a team from declaring a player 'injured', so that they can sign another player)

    I heard Dicoy Williams will not be fit again until May some time?

    Hmm, that's an interesting one. Well, looks like they are still trying to work on this. I guess Winter read John Molinaro's column this morning on you need to fix the defence, face palmed, and said "why didn't we think of that."

    seems to be listed as a midfielder and at 5'7 is to small imo for this league.

    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

    The more skill and experience the better. Keep bringing in any players who are an upgrade at any position.

    i'm not sure if Nguyen was picked up using allocation. I think Nguyen was available via waiver draft

    Montreal is already out due to the Johnson pick, so we're actually second then.

    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.

    I don't know much about him but looks like he's worth a punt if he drops in our lap.

    That Chicago 08 team was pretty stacked in defence. Segares, Conde, Soumare and the weakest link was Tim Ward with Jon Busch in net

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

    TFC can waive players on semi guaranteed contracts till 1 Jul to free up cap space

    Or trade players
