    More than likely we would be looking at a 1st round pick and allocation for the allocation pick.

    Would give us 5 1st round picks this year

    Yeah, that's about it, probably.

    To those who think we might be getting Laba back, I would suggest a reality check at this point. He's one of Vancouver's best players and short of having to pay us millions, they're going to keep him. Again, what Bez describes as a big clause might just be a first round pick.

    rather the 1st rounder; shipp for reasons above and he'd also be one more person to protect in this year's expansion draft

    with Chivas' first and Chicago's first we'd be in an ok place with probably 2 top 5 picks in the draft considering we could lose 2 players in the expansion draft and still have 3 other top 20 picks to help build more depth/long-term projects

    Between Hagglund and Lovitz I also trust our ability to pull talent from this next draft class.

    5 1st round picks would give us the ability to send quite a few players on loan next season.

    Depending on how everything plays out,

    Most of the 2015 Superdraft picks that are ours will probably be sent down to the Hammerheads.

    They days of teams using their allocation position to strong arm another club out of a lot of assets are over.

    You basically negotiate in good faith or MLS pushes it through. That much is clear post McBride. They might as well scrap the system next CBA as it's already a joke.

    I think Prizby is bang-on. First rounder, Garber bucks, etc...

    The whole damn thing is a joke.

    I hope the CBA brings more concrete transparency for the good of the league.

    Im starting to wonder how much Garber bucks we got last year if we can show interest in Jones and Lampard.

    I'm just being optimistic but who knows.

    I don't understand why we would want to hijack it, unless its trying to play with the system and get something off of NYCFC (1st rounder?)

    Regarding Jones, I'd be happy with a 1st round pick and allocation.

    If Vancouver keeps Laba (which would suck), and we end up with another 1st round pick and allocation, we could conceivably go into the off season with SIX 1st round picks and a shitload of allocation.

    Gilberto out for a 36 year old Lampard? Not happening. It's not possible unless he takes non-DP salary.

    Somewhere, Pookie's just creamed himself at the prospect.

    Just looking at this last draft and I have to say.. even with the 4 picks that we've got stashed, it's likely that we could walk away with at least 2 very decent players. Hagglund and Lovitz have both shown well so far this year and show how important it is to get some good players through the draft. Holding onto Chivas' and Portland's pick looks like we'll have two top 10, assuming we finish higher than that for once.

    Speaking of the superdraft.. Is there any chance TFC could sign Larin has a homegrown player just because of where he was born or has that ship sailed?

    He needs to have trained with TFC Academy for a year (according to the rules, which have been bent) to be eligible for homegrown status. Since I don't think he's ever been associated with TFC, there's no chance.

    Don't think a year is the stipulation. I'm pretty sure it's number of practices or hours trained with the team (or something like that), that's how we got Osorio on a HG IIRC.

    osorio isn't home grown; signed off discovery list; was actually suppose to play with our academy but impressed in pre-season

    Here a few off the top of my head.

    Chivas: 1st round pick & Rivero
    DC: DeLeon & 1st RP
    SKC: 2nd RP & Feilhaber
    and now Rivero has a torn acl ooops

    I really can't imagine Bez thinking a first round pick is a big clause - Bez seems sharper than that to me. anyway we'll see.....

    Ok so one positive coming away from this game.

    On my way back from 123 while waiting for the elevator Bez came through the door to the stairs talking to a man in an expensive suit. He said, and I quote, "I can't have you coming to games and being so public with people in England - I can't have rumours flying around."

    Lampard on loan from Man City or NYCFC am I just getting ahead of myself. If this does happen it would have to be a Julio Cesar type of situation.

    That sounds like he's talking to an agent.

    I'd take him for the short term. For the summer to push us thru to the playoffs until we can lock in someone younger.

    Nah, we'd end up with another version of Gerrard and Lampard, with Bradley playing the Scouser.

    That just seems like a good way to stall players like Osorio's progression.

    No point in signing a guy like Lampard and placing him over someone more valuable like Osorio.
