    I think that TFC should keep Bono, but Bono is MLS starter material.

    Not as good as Irwin, but if I were him I would be looking for minutes.

    Well, my original thought was that if we might lose him in the expansion draft, we should try to get something for him (even allocation money or whatever), but now that I know he's GA and is protected all that doesn't matter.

    Might be protected.

    Players can can graduate from generation adidas anytime during their first contract. What matters is the amount of time they get. I wouldn't be surprised based on this year that he graduates which would mean he's a player we'd have to protect.

    Maybe. I'm not sure 12 starts over two years is enough for him to graduate from GA. A lot of GA players are everyday starters for their teams for multiple seasons before they sign senior contracts.

    GKs tend to graduate from GA a bit later than outfield players.
    Cyle Larin is still GA and he's logged a lot of mins last season
    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    -Eduardo Galeano

    How in the world is Cyle not "graduated" from that contract after scoring so many goals. A GA doesn't count against the budget right? Talk about unbalanced.
