Buried in there is a report that Moor is being chased by a number of teams, including TFC.

Didn't he just blow his knee out again for the second time in three years?Originally Posted by Abou Sky
That TAM news is interesting. And it can be traded between clubs. It makes the salary cap a lot more fluid, with next year's cap effectively being $ 4.5 million once the TAM is included. That's what they should have had this year. I think we're going to see a major uptick in quality of player for next year. I just hope that transfer fees are excluded from counting against the cap...
Dear god, talk about swinging hard and missing.
I'm not buying this.
Every instance of TAM being used was disclosed by the teams using it in the press releases announcing player acquisitions or trades and there was no mention of TAM in Kantari's.
Did not use TAM on Kantari - only had a half-year charge to the cap, no need to spend it on him
TFC pass in waiver draft.
I'm surprised nobody took a chance on Pogatetz or Cochran.
Their previous salary would have to be picked up at 105%
Everyone in the Waiver contract was Out of Contract, so there would have to be a firm offer if chosen, but i don't think there is a Waiver Draft rule like the one you mention - that is a Re-Entry Draft Rule, i believe
A total of 30 MLS players are eligible for the Waiver Draft, which will be held at 4:30 pm ET on Wednesday. The Waiver Draft consists of players who have been waived by their clubs and are not eligible for the Re-Entry Draft or Free Agency. Under-contract players who are selected in the Waiver Draft will be automatically added to the drafting club’s roster. Clubs that claim out-of-contract players must issue a genuine offer to the selected player.
I THINK teams can only negotiate a salary with out of contract players, not the under contract ones. This is basically like a re entry draft stage 1+2 combined.
Ya, that's how I interpret it.
The thing is, if those players were placed on waivers while under contract, the team that picks them up has to pay their set contract (think of Gilberto and Chicago)
Do one of our beat reporters want to weigh in?
I consider this a fireable offense. Good god lets this be completely false.
I highly doubt this is true. Every other instance of TAM has been disclosed by the league. I'm pretty sure Bez specifically said they didn't use it on Kantari too.
hope so...but BEZ has lied before.
about?
doneil s transfer for one.
How was that a lie?
he said it was a loan...and you can add the LABA bullshit and the RN crap.i would not shocked if he used the Tamm on kantari...he was trying to save his job if he didnt make the playoffs.
Doneil was initially a loan if im not mistaken with the option to buy which they did, then they sold him to West Ham.
Dont remember anything about Laba being a lie, was unfortunate but straightforward.
Need more details about RN being a lie.
No, Doneil was sold outright to the club in Cyprus then loaned back to us for the season without it being made public.
Yea and when his loan expired he was returned to the club in Cyprus, then was sold to West Ham by the Cypriot club.
It wasn't revealed because it was a backdoor move to get him to England.
Seriously, people aren't upset about this right? It's one of the few times in our history we do right by a player.
AND made Caldwell retire. Never forget that.
Probably not as competent as he wants to be seen.
I recall TB saying it would be 'prohibitively expensive' for Caps to hold on to Laba. Well, it was not.
Urutti for Dike was presented as a no brainer, and it was not.

Ah yeah, forgot about that. Dont know if I consider that an outright lie so much as not letting the public know, unless he said "Hes not on loan, hes currently a TFC player" type of ish. Inclined to agree with Notthesun.
Think that league forced our hand re: Laba and agree we got hard done by there but we've discussed ad nauseum how it was basically Laba for Bradley.
Urutti for Dike also a bit puzzling but doesnt add up to a lie either. That being said, looks like both those guys are currently unemployed in the MLS (wait and see if Urutti gets picked upf or less). Wonder if theres ish behidn the scenes re: Urutti we dont know about from the Payne days. We can all agree that Bez is under pressure this off season/season coming up. I did find it interesting that our new GM said that Bez will be forced to focus solely on player acquisition as opposed to marketing etc etc, which really solely puts the pressure on him and him alone.
Has Bez been on the money 100% of the time re: players?
Nope, prob 40/60 off the top of my head.
Is he under pressure to pull this team up by the boot straps?
Yep
Do the majority of us know where our weaknesses lie?
Yep
and its up to Bez to fix em, im sure he knows his job is on the line along side Vanneys
I'm not sure that's the case. Does anyone thing Caldwell had anything left? He was constantly balttling injuries.
That, and he was having more and more games where his performances were pretty unflattering.
He had one long injury. Before that he was one of our most regular performers and before he came to TFC he was an ironman. They did say there was a "setback" in his rehab.
I think he'd been a little shakier at the end of his tenure than the beginning but he was consistent, a line leader. THe second he left and we didn't get an adequate replacement, our season was fucked. The fact that his career didn't end until his captaincy was taken away -- for the only time in his career -- and given to Bradley, who doesn't even strike me as a locker-room leader? Yeah, I think we'd have been better with him than without.
This was interesting:
