Weren't there a few available in one of the drafts? I remember seeing David Horst's name. He was pretty decent at one point.

Bez has some work to do..we got only 3 on the roster and none on the farm.
I'm having transfer envy at all these deals being announced by other teams. C'mon Bez, throw us a bone before Christmas
More likely within the league, TFC has a lot of salary space available. Likely we can find someone already playing in MLS.Originally Posted by Cas87

Nah. ou sign a guy ilike that and Chapman is stuck on the bench for a year if not more. He's 23, not 17. He needs to play now. He might not be even a TAM level player right now, but he could be in the future if he gets his minutes. Every time he was on the field we were a noticeably better team.
Also, why does everyone seem to be clamoring for an AM and a winger. Our formation doesn't accommodate either of those.
if there was one in the squad they'd be significantly more flexible tactically
But would also mean putting him on the bench.
Extra weapons off the bench isn't a bad thing.
Yeah, but it would only be worth it to sign a guy in that position with our TAM money. puts our good young players even further down the depth chart. The kids needs minutes to gain form and improve as players. If we stock up on players like Cooper and this theoretical AM, the guys like Delgado and Chapman would never get enough minutes to fulfill their potential. That's poor roster management.
Don't forget some of the people not picked up will be resigned.
i think chapman is behind cooper,oso,delgado at this time,he is not a starter yet in my opinion.
I like to see Raheem Edwards signed to the 1st team. Good pacey 1v1 winger. Much brighter than someone like Lovitz.
Gold Cup, WC Qualifiers, CCL, VCup, injuries - there will be plenty of games to go around. I'd rather TFC have plenty of players fighting for game time instead of wondering what if - if or when young players struggle or TFC lack the creativity to breakdown teams at times next season.
Williams was on $130k.
Zavaleta on $93k to $124k (who knows what the actual budget charge was).
Hagglund on $63k.
(Not sure if any of those salaries change for 2017.) I guess they figure they can get 1 or 2 backup CBs for less than $130k. Plus isn't Morrow decent as a LCB, with Morgan available to play LB/LW, if they have to cover for injury/absence?
I suppose Simonin (or Skylar Thomas) could still be signed to new deals, although there's no indication of that yet.
My shopping list.
1. Creative AM, smart, tactically aware, doesn't have to score but can create boat loads of chances.
2. 1A-B CB to fill out depth at that position.
3. A full back who can cross the ball into the box.
4. Another CM for depth.

maybe seba can put in a good word with this guy.lol
Agreed. Any good midfield should be giving burn to its 6 best players. I think Chapman has a reasonable opportunity to be in the team and make an impact.
If he plays well someone like Osorio, Delgado or Cooper could fall down the pecking order.
I don't think we have to force anything here.
Vanney was excellent in managing his roster this year and giving players minutes. Besides Mannella and Simonen, everyone seemed to get a number of games under their belt.
Pretty much this, below
Vanney himself and Bez said they want a creative attacking mid, suspect that if they're talking about it, they'll find one. Got faith that Vanney and Bez will make the signings we need, as they have done in the past
I starting to think that they're waiting for the transfer windows to start opening.I'm having transfer envy at all these deals being announced by other teams. C'mon Bez, throw us a bone before Christmas
This guy will be available in January:
Once a €20 million signing by #LFC, Alberto Aquilani officially set to have his contract with @PescaraCalcio rescinded after just 4 months!
Saw him play with Sporting in Portugal. There's a reason they let him go and now he has had his contract rescinded.

^I hate this idea, but this isn't crazy from a suit POV. The guy would maybe sell some tickets, given the sheer number of elite teams he played for, and if he were cheap enough....
The rumour was out there before

Personally I'd rather give Laurent Robert another chance.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Pass. He's made of biscuits.
I'd prefer some no-namers with talent.
Preferably ones that don't leave for international duty. I guess we can at least count on Acquilani for that.
Manjrekar James, canadian intl playing in Hungary is rumored to be moving to MLS. Wonder if hes coming here, think hes from the area.
Well, we do need a couple CBs so I wouldn't be surprised if we're interested.
A. Totera @4totera Boom seconds ago sources confirm to me that MLS in talks to bring Manjekar James to MLS #CMNT
Would make a lot of sense if TFC was in talks with him
Isn't he's a defensive midfielder?
Everything I've heard and I agree with them, is that TFC are looking to get an attacking midfielder
no he is a CB
