Like I said last week, Manning said he wanted a striker, a CM, a wingback and a CB. Two of those will be TAM signings. If true, the rumour of him spending TAM on a RWB would be along the lines of what he said.

As far as good RB that we could spend TAM on;
I would love to see Us sign Jeremy Pied (SOUTHAMPTON) he's a great RB a Frenchman still 28 out of contract I believe in 6 months...
or better yet to get a great leader Juan Fran form Atletico Madrid I know he is on the wrong side of 30 but if I believe he could still go 3-4 years, he also has 6 months left on his contract
Sure we could spend TAM on an RB. But it will be a new player.
TAM won't be used on Beita. He's the man but he isn't going to get paid $480k or more.
Exciting to see how the money is spent. Don't doubt Bez will sort it.

Can't see us picking up this kid for cheap. Looks like a solid player that fits our pressing game though.
There’s your CB. So he would be a TAM signing.
6:3 and a half, and a Centre CB in a 3-5-2 for Colon.
I’m assuming he would push Moor off his spot or would move to the Right sided CB
i always take these reports with a grain of salt..if it happens i can see them moving zava or haggs.2 cbs in the mid 20s they would set for the next 5 years.
Mineiro were rumoured to pick the guy up for 5m$ but deal fell apart i doubt we can afford him
Edit: Article even says we can't meet his transfer fee

You never know. Without having a great sense of his petigree, i’ll note these clubs constantly sell / develop talent and that often necessitates a deal now as opposed to later.
If the price drops to something below $5 million we may well pounce. our adavantage is we are good for the money. Other clubs may agree to a higher free with a kicker and the seller may never get a portion of that.

Conti supposedly has a 3.6 mil release clause and probably demand at least TAM level salary. TFC would basically have to dump all their TAM to get this guy.
CB is not the position that needs the most upgrade.
“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
^When a guy like that isn’t going to Europe, you better have a very good understanding why
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
I could see it making sense if TFC is considering that there may be a drop-off in ability from Moor in the coming season. I think we could all see smidgens of that during some moments at the end of the season. They could be taking a long-term view towards 2019 and want someone already in the team who has built some chemistry during the off-season. If TFC does somehow manage to win the CCL, then having Conti showcase his ability at the FIFA Club Championships could result in offers from Europe that would allow them to recoup on the initial investment and then some.
The other option... from the video embedded in the article, doesn't his carriage and demeanor strike you a bit like a young Michael Bradley? Perhaps they might change his position to DM and groom him as the General's replacement, basically replacing Cheyrou?

I’d like to see us go in for Percy Tau, SA international, would be a TAM level player, but just barely if I’m correct. (Out of contract soon) and top players in SA supposedly earn around 500k a year.
Would be a dynamic winger (which we lack) and a feasible option up top without Altidore and/or Seba in the lineup.
23 years old so also a sellable asset if he does well.
Dallas just signed Swiss CB Reto Ziegler, so if we're actually in on Conti our competition would appear to be limited to Atletico Mineiro now.
No 30+ Euro retirement track players please. We broke the mold going for Giovinco at his prime. It is the way forward.
