Well it would matter ..... if it is based on net and they sell him for $3.2M or less it means that other than freeing his $375k cap space and dp slot there is no net benefit. If they get off the total sell then they are looking at at least couple hundred thousand in allocation that can be used to buy player or pay down a new contract.Originally Posted by ryan
My understanding is that we would get allocation based on the amount of the transfer fee, regardless of the amount we initially paid to acquire him.
Based on the reported allocation allotted from previous transfers, my guess is that if we sold Gilberto for 3 million dollars, we would receive approximately 180K in allocation, in addition to freeing up his salary cap hit.
There's no question he has skill and I think you have to have that attitude as a striker, even if you don't live up to it. I'd rather have a forward who goes out there thinking he'll score every match than one who is sort of sure, but maybe not.
My concern with Gilberto was always that his career past seemed to indicate he always teased managers but never quite delivered. In the lower leagues in Brazil, he scored just fine, but on the higher level teams he always seemed to show a drop in production. Of course, I freely admit I haven't watched a whole lot of Brasileirao matches.
But if he's on a DP contract and he doesn't give you a DP goal total, then he goes. I can live with that, even though I liked him.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
There's confidence, arrogance and straight up delusion. Letting yourself get out of shape while thinking you're going to walk in 25 goals is a poor attitude no matter how confident or skilled one is.
Regarding the bolded part, that's basically what we've got with Altidore.
Ok thanks.
I don't think that tells the story. It's not just the number of pieces but the importance of those pieces. Two DPs alone is a big adjustment.
The more I think about it, the less I'm able to refute the last point. It's probably too risky to assume he'll be a consistent producer next year, whereas selling him gives us significant ability to make other improvements.
Show me a nice striker and I'll show you someone that doesn't score often. These guys come with attitude more than any other position.
I don't see the self belief as the problem. He worked hard on the field. If we heard something different about training or his general attitude towards being here I might criticize, but we haven't seen much in that regard. He's not the only one on the squad to clash with Defoe.
I will give just about anybody a pass on fitness under the previous managment. Everything we heard slip through the cracks made them sound like a bunch of rank amateurs stuck in the past when it comes to training.
I just see it as him not having a strong start and TFC taking the out rather than potentially see his value go even lower. Hard to argue with that.
Did I miss something in "while most items are tossed in the garbage" that meant just Gilberto and Defoe?
Come on, this isn't a rebuild. Now, is it going to be successful? That I'm not sure of.

FWIW, via @RennerMonnerat: #TFC's Gilberto wearing a Vasco de Gama jersey
#TFC official tells me reports of Gilberto being sold to Vasco are FALSE. He's just training there. https://twitter.com/RennerMonnerat/status/560134579244498944 …

Wearing their jersey with a big-ass smile on his face. The text, as best as I can make it out, reads something like "Looks happy to be of/with Vasco da Gama. Don't think small, Vasco's the world's biggest club"
There are several tweets welcoming Gilberto to the club in the guy's feed. He also makes a comment that states Gilberto is going there on a free.

Oh FFS.
As mentioned in the YouTube comments -- he kinda looks like Soolsma...
There is 0 % chance of this happening
I remember Zavaleta from the 2013 draft. He was being hyped up a lot before the draft and was in the top 5 of most mock drafts.As mentioned in the YouTube comments -- he kinda looks like Soolsma...
The strange thing is that in college football he was a striker - highest scorer 2 years in a row (scoring almost 40 goals in two years). but by the time he got to the draft, he was a defender!
Sounds like he can play multiple positions well.

Toronto FC announced Tuesday that the club has acquired allocation money from the Montréal Impact in exchange for midfielder Dominic Oduro. As per club and league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“This deal provided an opportunity to acquire financial assets that will allow us to continue to strengthen our squad,” said Toronto FC General Manager Tim Bezbatchenko. “We’d like to thank Dom for his contributions to our club and wish him all the best.”
Oduro, 29, has made 258 combined appearances across MLS league and playoff matches during his career. He was originally acquired in a trade on June 6, 2014 from the then Columbus Crew; and made 24 appearances, scoring two goals and added five assists for Toronto FC.
Not a big loss. Probably the same amount of allocation NYRB sent to Montreal earlier today.
We need a winger though.
Big chuck of salary room freed up in that move
Duane Rollins seems to think that Gilberto is gone and the TFC FO is just TFCing about the whole situation.
<edit: now that Oduro is gone, it looks like things are starting to snowball. When is the real opening of training camp?>

Now we are really thin on the wing!
Don't like the Oduro move. It's always useful having a guy with that pace.
Good Riddance
Can't pass
Can't score
That's 200K of cap hit we can play with.
I'm not judging that side of it. But look, how many different starters do you think we'll see opening day? I'm going to ballpark 4, maybe five. That's a pretty large amount of change. They don't have to replace the whole starting 11 to meet that threshold.
Edit: Oduro is gone too? List continues to grow.

Very true. 250k salary off the books and even if we get 50k allocation back that's 300k to spend on new players.
Or cover the players we've already signed.
We re-signed white boots this off season. He's got some pace.
Ha, I haven't heard white boots before. But I knew exactly who you meant.
maybe billy whiteshoes jackson
