Breaking News. It looks like Marcel de Jong has been released by @SportingKC ............. Would be a good pick up for TFC.
191K guaranteed last season
He has experience in the midfield.
Although if he's called up to Canada he'll be missing similar games to our other internationals either way.
Does the permanent loan have to be done at the start of the season? We currently have one roster spot open (two if we use a permanent). Any chance we start the year with both Endoh and Babouli on TFC2 contracts, wait until they are needed before giving them an MLS deal (kind of like Simonin last year), then use the permanent loan if and when we sign the second one of them. Could help defer the decision to see who would be best to use on the loan (ie, Hamilton, Babouli, Endoh). If there's a season long injury (ala Bloom last year) I assume there's some sort of rule that would prevent us permanently loaning that player to free up a roster spot, or could that be an (unfortunate, no one likes injuries) loophole
So Robbie Findley is no longer with the Reds as per a tweet from John.

Since I've been asked, Robbie Findley no longer with the team. He cleared re-entry. But am told #TFC won't bring him back at less $.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
So is Moore the only player from last year's roster that is up in the air for this season? I think so.
I'm fairly sure that releasing Moore is the plan. But they have to hope that a team in England will want to sign him. They still need to become cap compliant, so unless they trade a draft pick for GAM, they have to let someone go, and everyone but Moore seems to be in the plans.
isnt that old news?
'releasing' him does not address the specific issue with the cap. For his salary to come off the books and for the Reds to get to (or get closer to) cap compliance he has to 'go' somewhere (ie. a club in England - another MLS club, etc.). His contract (and consequent MLS cap hit) remains in force for TFC if they just simply show him the door. TFC had only one opportunity to release someone without a cap penalty as a consequence and that was already used on Kantari.
For those few suggesting Gomez could leave, MLS just put out a video, with him and Seba starting it off. He ain't going nowhere.
Gomez played well in a very limited sample size for us last season. I think he can contribute a lot more if he is given the opportunity.
Usually when someone has to be moved for compliance reasons, they don't play much or at all in preseason. Two years ago it was Laba. The only time he played a preseason game was at RB. Last year it was Gilberto. This year, it's pretty obvious who that guy is.

I'm certainly still very happy with Johnson, but in terms of building our team this off-season (on paper, anyways) maybe this is the guy we should have went after to fill in our midfield instead.
Herc is involved with the MLS media team in some capacity I believe... he was on their panel for MLS playoffs and also did some non-TFC related PR stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a MLS decision to have him in there with Seba and not TFC's.
