Local kid coming back at a young age is good. Anybody watch him play and can comment on his passing ability, heading ability, touch, positioning etc. ? Floro didn't exactly provide much of a platform for analysing qualities.

what about Doneil? Stranger things have happened.
He's on loan from West Ham to Horsens in Denmark
Henry tore an ACL while on loan in Nov. He won't be playing for a long time

I think I saw Larson suggesting the team was going to find somebody for the D line in the draft
Going to be hard without a first round draft pick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_MLS_SuperDraft
I think Bez is hamstrung with cap space because of the success/bonuses this year. I don't think we'll see a TAM like player or any major moves. He'll TAM as much as he can on our current roster to bring down the cap hit. That will also include resigning Cheyrou and giving Irwin a better contract. Both Ricketts and Cooper's contracts become full-time as well.Here's what I think the make up looks like right now...
Senior:
TOR Altidore Jozy F $ 4,825,000.00 $ 4,825,000.00

TOR Mannella Chris M $ 63,000.00 $ 63,000.00 (permanent loan to TFC 2)
I think the rumours for Manjrekar James are legit. He'd be a depth CB signing, young and cheap.
I don't know what they'll do for right-back. They passed over Barson and Klute during the re-entry draft, we don't have high level draft picks to trade this year, and no-one from TFC 2 has shown well enough. They'll have to go shopping or hope there's a decent option at right back during the draft.

Wait, 3 players gone already worth $600K and we can't afford to get in a player other then a journeyman defender and a possible RB draft choice (although given we don't have a pick until round 2, that is highly unlikely to be a decent player)?

TFC's two Second round picks are only 5 picks later than what would have been their first round draft pick. Still lots of value to be had in the top 30. We got Daniel Lovitz around that level. They'll at least get time in TFC II now. It will be interesting to see if Bez trades up the draft or not (prospects capable of starting generally only are in the top 10 picks). I think it would only be worth trading with Atlanta or Columbus as they already have a top 10 pick. I'm not sure how much stock they are putting into NCAA players anymore considering how much they're sinking into the Academy.

Both Rickett's and Cooper's salary doubles and Irwin gets a pay raise then we're already hitting maybe 300-400 minus bonuses of that 600k. They'll want a right back to take a senior roster spot though so I don't think they'll actually solve their RB depth with the draft. Most likely it will be a South American or a trade in the league with TAM.
I'm just saying that the 600k TAM central attacking mid or winger is probably not coming. I'm only expecting a few depth signings.

Bez is probably going to wait until the July window before making signings once he has an idea of what the team needs to make it more successful.
we only have 3 CBs on the total tfc roster right now and no backup RB..they need those spots filled now.
This.
Plus I'm hearing CCL GAM is approx $350k this year.
The money is going to existing players, not new players.
The non DPs earned $4.5M last year. I bet that it's going to cost at least $1M extra to keep the team together - 600K represents less than what you need for that.
I am sure they will hold a reserve for the summer window.
Be happy. This is great.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Given the lack of transparency and doubts over the accuracy of the MLSPU release we can't say that with any certainty.
I thought most of our guys were already under contract for next year with the exception of a couple. Now with Johnson out, Williams out, bloom out, and other carry over buyouts/contracts off the books from last season, plus our TAM and the slight increase in salary cap space, I see no reason why we don't have more than enough cap space available to sign a couple very good players. A scoring midfielder is a must, as next year will be our best chance at a title. I really can't see how they would be spending a million more on current players, when you subtract the outgoing contracts to offset.
In fact I'm almost certain the players union numbers are not pro-rated at all.
Bez and Manning have both said the cap situation is much better than this time last season.
you can also add herc s and moore s money coming off the cap.thats prob another 300 k
Plus nobody is 100% certain if what is reported in the union release corresponds to what the player budget charge/cap hit is.
Will Johnson officially gone according to Orlando City/MLS website.
This guy made himself available also:

Keisuke Honda’s agent confirms the #ACMilan midfielder rejected Chinese offers - “we definitely prefer #MLS”. http://www
lol please someone take him, he has been a flop at Milan...very slow player, plays well in quick one touch games where he doesnt need to dribble much.
Linked with Gilardino... again
http://www.calciomercatot8.com/mls-g...verso-toronto/
... because, another forward!?? Why not!?!?
Man, silly season already off to the races. I'm so glad the core is pretty settled... my heart can't take what the window's put me through in the past.
Do these papers even try anymore haha.

Marouane Chamakh is without a club, he would prefer the MLS (United States) to the Eastern track.
Julie Stewart-BinksVerified account @JSB_TV 1h1 hour ago
Can confirm that Landon Donovan has also just been offered a deal from an eastern conference team in addition to RSL offer. #MLS
By looking at the signings already happening in MLS and some names linked, it's going to be an interesting off season.
