the money still counts against the cap.unless somebody picks them up..so wasted cap space.
So with the TAM ... GAM and Spam and glam and what ever 'ams they come up with I vaguely remember someone saying that Hoilett is a possibility and with all the 'Am money being aquired and such a young striker core I could see him or maybe someone else being signed soley as depth nothing major just to help us out
Ok so I can't find the source at the moment where I read it but apparently all the moves that were done recently was to free up room for a potential summer signing once they figure out what are needs are at that point in the season. That would kind of make sense since we can probably get by with what we have for now if everyone stays healthy. I don't think we will see anyone else signed until then.
When does the transfer window close and re-open?
We already have Martin Davis and the draft picks... not thrilled if they are giving another roster spot to a non canadian.
TFC II is their to develop our academy players into MLS players. It is designed to promote Canadian youth not to be run as a separate organization, the stink that would be kicked up would be pretty large if they moved away from developing local talent.
shes no chiwawa
Haha haha, so about Ben Spencer?!?!?
Check out @DanRiccio590's Tweet: https://twitter.com/DanRiccio590/sta...556964864?s=09
Spencer was in the chivas USA academy in 2011-2012. Coincidence? They must think highly of him to trade tam for him.
Nope, I think you've hit the nail on the head. He used to live with Vanney while he was with Chivas so they must have a pretty close relationship. Not trying to throw out nepotism accusations or anything, just saying that having that kind of relationship with the head coach of the first team doesn't hurt.
If Spencer comes in on a free transfer its an excellent deal. A 6'5 20 year old striker with a good goal scoring record with Us Youth squads is def worth a shot.
Now the real question is whether or not Spencer was/is the "international" target Bez was referring to a couple weeks ago.
Garbaled google translate interview with Ole Gunnar Soljskaer, Molde manager, on Spencer.
Ben Spencer (20) has a contract with Molde out in 2016, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer do not think the American will play football for MFK again. Spencer has a cartilage injury that is not unlike that which forced Solskjaer even to put up in 2007.
No, he does not enough football in 2016. He is bad knee and the way it looks now, he is long lost. We do not anticipate that he'll be back on the field before the contract with us going out, says coach U20 national team player.
-There Is still hope that he gets well, but with that kind of damage there is also a danger that you need to give you. He himself must consider whether he should make a major operation might play at the top level again, or if he should decide to end his football career, says Solskjaer.
