Cunningham to Norway

[arsenal]

Per Ives, there is interest in "The Useless One" from teams in Norway. Knowing that he likely will turn things around once he gets dealt I would be happy to see him leave MLS.

As for Jeff Cunningham, the word I'm hearing is that there is interest in the Jamaican-born striker from several clubs, including from some teams in (yes, you guessed it) Norway. A move within MLS seems unlikely since A) Toronto already has three first-round picks next year, B) Toronto already has a boat-load of allocation money and C) Toronto will likely use the international player slot Cunningham vacates in order to bring in an international forward.

YAY!!!

[Heathen]

wonder if he'll start off with 0 on his jersey

[werewolf]

maybe he can reunite with Pozniak or Kenny!

[Billy the kid]

I wonder what kind of fee they would get for Cunningham's rights.

Frankly I think we should be paying them

[S_D]

you mean we can unload his salary, open up a roster spot AND sell him for some cash? sweeeeeeet.

Realistically best we could do would be some good Norwegian smoked salmon.

Sounds too good to be true .... doesn't it? This was a nice surprise .... perhaps why JC is treating him like shit in hopes he will be willing to move to Europe.

[Oldtimer]

Knowing "Trader Mo," he'll rip off some Norwegian club for a big fat transfer fee.

[Nodoubtguy]

I'll take a plate of smoked salmon for Cunny!!

[S_D]

a pity MLS will get their cut. Still though anything more than the price of a beer in my books is a good price.

He deserves a kick in the ass instead.......good I hope he gets as far the fuck away from this country as possible!!

1/2 of any transfer fee obtained can be used for allocation

[ensco]

1/2 of any transfer fee obtained can be used for allocation

1/2 of zero is zero

if something like this were to happen, it would be like Welsh's deal (ie an assignment of the contract)

[Billy the kid]

I hope this is a ploy to drive up his value. Mo says Cunningham could stay.

true

i'm still perplexed as to how a guy like this scored 99 goals

I'm not sure about the salary part. I thought it was after a certain date we kept the salary regardless what we did with the player?

That quote is from the "media Scrum" that you can view on TFC TV. When he made the comment, it sounded to me like the comment was added as an afterthought so they wouldn't come off sounding like they hated the man.

During the job interview, this is what Cunningham should say: "yea man, i start widda numba zerro, and dan i finsh widda same numba....where das I sign?

Kind of like a whole team forgetting how to score for 824 minutes.

[TicTacTabarnack]

~sniff sniff~ i just got all teary eyed ... this is the most beautiful thing i've heard all day!!!

Good point, I saw the article was dated today and assumed the quote must be recent.

What the fuck is this supposed to mean?

To much

You are thinking of the guarunteed salary....say he gets released then yes we would be stuck with this salary against the cap.

If he goes and plays for another team in the MLS the balance of his salary will count against the other team's salary cap. If he goes to another continent, MLS won't be paying his salary anymore, so whatever is left will be freed up.

Unless of course MLS agrees to pay his salary while he is in Norway (i.e. a loan deal) then I guess we'd still be paying. Can't see that happening though.
