Love it.
Jozy is 25, 6'1" and will be hungry to prove England was a blip in his career. Hopefully he works well with Goalberto
Curious to see what TFC is allowed to do with the cash (if it counts as Gerber $)
I hope this is the guy that shows up:

With us apprently getting cash i would seem the "10 teams interested in Defoe" could be true. Bez wheeling and dealing.
that sounds great but hope we dont trade gilberto next thing you know he will score 20 goals for the red bulls or even worse the fucking crew
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
The way I read that article was MLS is getting Altidore, and TFC is signing Giovinco.
It will be interesting how this plays out.
Either way it's a great deal. We got back what we paid for Defoe. Amazing work by Bez.
So fucking pumped right now.
I can't believe we made 1 million in actual profit. amazing.

Reports out of England indicate Defoe has signed a 3 and a half year deal worth Ģ80,000 per week ($129,000) with Sunderland.
Similar or even a little more then what he was making with us! We eat none of it apparently
Thanks for the info. Hope that is the case as it would indeed be a big coup. Can't help but be skeptical though with Lieweke involved and his ego that we end up making some big deal with record transfer fee but somehow or another pass significant money back through some other mechanism (portion of wages, inflated Altidore transfer fee, crazy appearance fee for friendly). Regardless good to have the distraction over and looks like they have plan in place for other pieces.
It is obviously a team effort. Bez is the GM of this team and therefore involved. TL hasn't been seen or heard in a long while and he is leaving in a few months. This is Bez's team and granted it would make sense TL could have had a major role in this but until I read otherwise, In Bez we trust.
Edit- front office aha

How much allocation do we get from a dealing defoe anyone know\/
It's a bloody big deal!
so
11 million for Defoe
and
Altidore MIGHT be a separate deal with MLS.
Unsure of final details, we should know soon
i may be wrong..something like..660k?
What i mean is how much Allocation Money can we get from the 11mill?
