Aside that he's made of glass.. he would be one of the most technically gifted players in the league.
Though no idea how they get him.. either Bez knows something we don't or is just trying to build relationships.
*I read in another forum Aquilani changed his agent to Giovinco's agent.

I would just ignore Amoyal's tweets at this point. According to him all of Serie A could be coming to Toronto this summer.
The new roster rules have been announced.
The DP cap hit is now $436,250. An increase of $146,250 for 3 DPs. Couple that with Caldwell, Perquis and Cheyrou's contracts and you can absolutley forget about us signing anyone of significance.
Amoyal so far has been more reliable than anyone else when comes to TFC's Italian signings and scouting news.
I'd imagine that those are percentage increases in accordance with the increase in the total cap. doubt it changes much.
It's actually exactly the same ratio as before, 12.5% of the total cap.
Signings? We've had one signing, and he's been banging on about 5 different players and a new manager for a couple of weeks now.
Once TFC finds a way to create cap space, then we might see more signings in summer time. Right now, TFC is looking at players in Italy which Amoyal was first one to break this news.
Also, he has said TFC is looking to add President which might lead to coaching change which now everyone in local media is reporting.
So it's hard not to believe Amoyal at this point.
We should make it clear that we don't necessarily know we're capped out. cap went up and we had a fuck ton of Garber bucks this off-season.
It's also posted on football-italia website which is a very credible source.

Not sure how they will pull this off, although bringing in Aquaman would be HUGE.
The cap went up 380k. So for teams with 3dps your cap increase is 240k. In TFC terms, Robbie Findley.
Given that Perquis and Cheyrou are supposedly on close to max deals, it's hard to imagine a way they can actually bring in any of these Italian players.
He fits in the same category as Giovinco. He was once touted as the heir to Totti similar to Giovinco being the heir to Del Piero. He'd definitely be incredible because of his technical skill, even if he never put it all together in Serie A.
So they increased the DP cap hit under the cba? Rediculous.
no, as nothesun pointed out, it's the same percentage cap hit. if the total cap goes up, so to does the DP cap hit.
“We don’t have a whole lot of salary cap room,” Bezbatchenko said. “We do have an ability through loans and trades (to bring guys in). Once we get players back from injury we’ll be in a good place.“We have roughly $3.5 million (salary cap) to spend. By definition of the salary cap you’re going to have areas where you have less depth.”

I don't see why that needs to move in lock step. The end result is less money for players than initially advertised (which was not a huge sum to begin with).
This line of discussion is what sucks the most about MLS. The league needs to grow up.. and shed this nonsense.
There has got to be some decent CBs out there were you do not have break the bank for.
The big that I noticed in that Club America vs Montreal Impact matchup was that the Impact total Players Salary was listed at about 7 million while Club America was at 40 million, There lowest paid player was at 4 million while Montreals was at 50000. I think Mls better change there act soon. Just saying
Nine times out of ten the team with 5-6* the payroll wins. So far CCL results confirm this.
From what I understand, liga mx salary structure is something like this:
Starter: 350-600
MLS "DP" equivalent - 1M-3M (keeping in mind they only have a few of these)
Backup - 200-300
Fringe player - 50-150
We pay far more to top players than they do. Half the issue is we pay less - and the other half is we're top heavy. When a guy earning 600k is running at a MLS fullback earning 100k the gaps start to show quickly. It gets even more skewed when you start comparing depth.
I can't find anything directly to say otherwise but I do not believe the America payroll figures are as high as the poster above has quoted. The closest I could do is point to the liga mx top salaries lists that seem to show most elite players are earning a million or two, not multiples of that.

Four million pesos equals about $312,440 CDN.
From Serie A, players I can think of that should be feasible...
Italians:
-Daniele Bonera
-Gabriel Paletta
-Marco Andreolli
-Paolo Cannavaro
-Salvadore Bocchetti (he may command too much money)
-Fabiano Santacroce (He'd be a good one I think, he's athletic, cheap, and has incentive to move b/c he doesn't play)
-Phillipe Mexes (He is older now, and his contract is expiring this summer...he won't make even close to what he made before...he may be too expensive as well. He also is a nutcase...)
-Andrea Costa
According to the latest roster rules, buying out a contract in season (Caldwell for example) would not free up cap space.
http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/conten...nd-regulations(D) BUYOUT OF GUARANTEED CONTRACT
Clubs may have the ability to buy out one player who has a Guaranteed Contract. Details follow below:
- A club may buy out one (1) player who has a Guaranteed (including a DP’s) Contract during the offseason and free up the corresponding budget space. Such a buyout is at the MLS club’s expense.
- A club may not free up room in the salary budget with a buyout of a player’s contract during the season. In the case a team buys out a player’s contract during the season, the buyout amount will be charged against the club’s salary budget.
Good find. The fact that the buyout amount hits your cap too makes it a terrible option.
My level of apprehension and fundamental disinterest in a major Serie B talent experiment is extremely high.
If there is a particular player that makes sense, fine.
Can we get Payne back to do this part of the job?

“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
If Caldwell was to retire to a $500K job in the front office as a scout or something, would his current salary become available to sign someone new?
