If Urruti happens I don't think it'll be very soon. Gonna take time to sort through his contract mess.
40 mins to go....
well it could have been worse . We could have got stuck with Dempsey at 8 mil a yr....
wondering exactly at what exact time this thread goes tits up.

Guaranteed there will be someone that posts at 12:01 complaining there was nothing done.
reminds me of the old MO bullcrap days...nice job KP...maybe you can spent all that allo on a roof now,or is that bull also?
damn... how depressing
Lets not get suicidal gang. Always time for announcements after the window closes. We all know how they love that photo of the player holding up the jersey. Also, as pointed out earlier, we can still sign bosman's after the window closes (Urruti included).
To keep me distracted from all this transfer banter and not dwell on what or what not is going on, I have given my imagination to the great Harmony Korine and decided to watch Spring Breakers. If anything is going to distract you from some of this going back and forth with nothing really to report, this will.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
i think 'this is balls' summarizes my feelings well.
yes.... lets change this thread to the sexy girl thread.
and thanks to that great tfc PR group on not saying a word to the fans tonight...
I'm gonna rent Spring Breakers tomorrow!
maybe MANU...is our new DP?
So no new signings of players under contract to teams outside MLS. Attention now turns to free agents or players within MLS.
And he will probably be our top goal scorer this year. Hey Ensco, you have been here for a long time, how the fuck do you do it? And, tell me this whole bs episode with the non signings isnt similar to the Mo era? I still remember the mid field plaintive crap that autumn.....and, despite my being the minority in this forum who feels this organization continues to mire in shit, I am actualy part of a much greater whole who have abandoned this club over time. Lets see how the present day optimists feel when firstly,better mls teams smoke us the remainder of this wretched season, and then watch as the pattern continues next season, and the next. I have said this for years: when mlse is out of the picture this team will improve.
just remember that the only reason Silva was tradable was because he actually was an asset......no one wants our garbage except us.
now.........how much is MLSE profiting this year from all these non signings???? ....this is the question
I still think we'll sign someone but if not or if it's not a marquee signing, at least they won't (or shouldn't) be able to jack up the prices next year.
It is different from the Mo era: Mo would have signed someone, anyone, to look like he was doing something. You know, like a Mista. or maybe a Laurent Robert.
I'm actually pleased that they didn't pull the trigger on a lower-quality substitute. I'm disappointed, but willing to see this team get built properly, and KP is someone who can do it.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Well I guess they should focus on having a full squad for spring training. Something that I don't think has ever been accomplished in past seasons.
The Silva deal casts a giant cloud, that's getting darker by the day. But let's be fair, Payne is totally different than Mo. He has a track record. He didn't do a panic-driven signing here, just to appease us, or the suits upstairs. Which is nice.
Mo was actually very good in the first year, but fell apart thereafter. Who knows why? Because the games with Anselmi got to his head? Maybe because he was too close to Barry McLean?
Leiweke is the guy that really worries me. His public statements have been a debacle, much more so than Payne's. I don't see how Leiweke and Payne can avoid clashing.

“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I'm glad they didn't just go out and sign someone for the sake of signing someone, but I'm very disappointed.
At the end of the day this transfer window is a fail in my eyes, simply because this is a results based business and because of all the grand standing the management did over last few weeks. Sure they tried, but as per the ever wise yoda 'there is no try, only do'..
