    Irwin is on $200,000. That's WAY too much for our back-up keeper.

    Something's gotta give there.

    Also, Morgan is on $100k. This for a guy who played once or twice all year. That doesn't seem right either.
    Our two GKs put together make ~$300. That's damn cheap for two quality GKs, even if Bono gets a raise, considering some teams spend north of that on just their starter.

    100k for morgan is also pretty reasonable. $100k is really not a huge cap hit anymore, and depending on how MLS rules work these days, he may not count against the cap since he's still a HG player (automatically protected in the draft).
    Shit, this guy has survived a long ass time through a lot of turnover here. Made his debut under Dasovic...

    Re-entry draft stage 1 is today at 3pm.

    Anyone on the list intriguing?

    https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/...-draft-stage-1

    Laba? Bloom? Edu?
    Those three seem interesting for our bench BUT, if anyone is selected in this round the contract option for next season on their existing contract is activated.
    Probably will see if we can get any in Stage 2 next week instead (can negotiate new contracts)

    Love Laba, but he's probably there because of his knee injury (NE plastic claims another). If he's close to a return though, might be worth a look. I can think of better ways to spend 750k than Edu. Bloom might be interesting, but we're probably pretty set at RB with Hasler and Beitashour

    Bloom as cover in case Beita does leave though?

    Jarek Whiteman destroyed League1 Ontario this year with 29 goals in 22 appearances, runners-up had 17 goals. He is a former Canada youth international. Might be a good camp invite for a TFC II spot.

    TFC2 need something, last place every year is a little embarrassing

    However, the first team took a while to get good, and look how good they got :@)

    TFC II has two purposes. 1) Develop talent for the first team. 2) Develop young Canadian talent for the national team. Where they place doesn't mean a thing to me as long as they are producing talent. If the team is doing it's job, then the roster will undergo an almost constant change. You can't build success on constant change - ala the first 9 years of TFC.

    But it is for a guy who doesn't even play. Hell, he doesn't even make the bench unless there are injuries. It's more than Hasler is making, for example.

    If he's going to be the 'new Edwards' (I realize the irony there), then maybe that's fine. But if they're looking to bring more guys in, especially 'Mavinga quality guys,' Morgan's contract seems like a perfect place to start trimming.

    But you don’t typically build talent finishing dead last either.

    Any metric you want to measure the 2nd team against, the results are underwhelming.

    agreed, those young players are not gonna want to play on a team that is dead last

    if you have talent, you shouldn't be so bad

    Glad to have old man Moor back. He seems like the perfect mentor for the young pups in our back line. The heart issue must have been a big stress on him but he came through it like and as a champ.

    West Ham released Doneil Henry. Might be interesting to have him back as 5th CB instead of Hernandez, if his injury problems are gone and on a manageable wage.

    Wouldn't Henry have to go through the allocation process?


    Edit - yup:
    2017 Allocation Ranking List

    Last update: August 10, 2017
    The Allocation Ranking List is comprised of players in the following categories:

    • Select U.S. Men’s National Team players.
    • Select elite U.S. Youth National Team players.
    • Players transferred outside of MLS garnering a transfer fee of at least $500,000 (USD).

    The players who will be included on the Allocation Ranking List will be determined by Major League Soccer’s player personnel department and club technical staffs and will be updated once each year, during the time window between the end of the MLS regular season and MLS Cup. The Allocation Ranking List will only be updated during the season if an elite U.S. youth national team player turns 18 or graduates from the U.S. Soccer Residency Program in Bradenton, FL and is deemed eligible for the list. In addition, the Allocation Ranking List will be updated when a player is transferred out of MLS for more than $500,000.

    One of the things about the young players they released is - Vanney must be in close contact with Bent on the development of TFCII and academy players. There must be some in that group that they see being a replacement level above the players they let go. TFC is about due for another good player to come out of their academy, right?

    morgan just became more important. And the 3-5-2 fits his skill set better than the 4-4-2

    In terms of what Toronto NEEDS we need nothing. Our spine is incredible per league standards and the surrounding players continue to improve. That said, if you're not getting better, you're getting worse. Teams like Atlanta and NYCFC are hungry. We need to continue to maintain and maybe add another midfielder or defender with quality wouldn't hurt.

    If he is able to capably take over Edwards's role, than yes.

    But if we actually really want an upgrade in that position (to challenge or cover for Morrow), then 100k on a guy who doesn't even play is too much.

    This!
    Other teams will improve this offseason a lot.

    We also need a good backup striker, which is clearly better quality than Ricketts.

    Only two teams picked players in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft (Colorado picked Mike Grella from NYRB and dealt him to the crew and Minnesota picked Tyrone Mears from Atlanta). Stage 2 is on the 21st

    There has to be change, that's inevitable, but there is no reason to do anything in the offseason that isn't a Vazquez level upgrade.

    This group have all more than earned the right to come back. I expect natural upgrades to occur in the summer window, which is when the better South American moves happen, and when we have a better idea of what we need and how some bubble guys are doing.
