Morrow signs an extension
That is great to see, being such an important part of the squad. Cheers to that !!
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
I hope he received a salary over 400 k. He's worth it. Especially when your soccer career is only 12-15 years and socialism takes half of your pay.
Will be interesting to see when they get a deal done with Endoh. He is still with the team as a trialist and was in the players box last night at the game. I know John wrote that Bez was working on it, hopefully they will get something done.

They're not giving him a 100% pay increase lol. At his age he'll probably be happy with a multi year term at a similar salary to current
I dunno. Morrow is an MLS Best XI player and would have had full free agency rights at year end (I think).
His market value probably is close to $400K. If I was to guess, he got 3 years at $375K
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I think your guess seems accurate to me. My guess was 1.2 million over 3 years.
DaMarcus Beasley makes 351k, Ashley Cole 377k, Harrison Afful 296k. Those are the most comparable fullbacks in terms of ability and pedigree.
Morrow is coming off 226k... I will guess 325-350k for him.
If he keeps himself fit, Morrow can play another 5 years.
This is great to see, happy that he is sticking around.

Kubel signs with TFCII

I'm happy we signed MALYK HAMILTON. Canadian kid with lots of talent.
Good to see Tim signed his deal, thus getting the chance to prove his worth with a season in USL.

Hamilton is a good pick up. Interested to see why he chose Toronto. Wonder if it was family situation that made him to come back to Canada or if he felt TFC was the best career move. After 8 years with whufc, he would've had lots of options lower down th pyramid in England.
Glad to keep Kubel in the fold. The German league experience is intriguing. The writing was on the wall for him not getting a first team deal once we signed Van der Wiel and Auro (position-wise and international slot wise), but glad we got him on a TFCII deal, to see what he has
Admittedly, I don't know anything about him, but at 18 years old, maybe it's an opportunity to go to school and play at the same time, ala TFC 1.0 with guys like Gabe Gala who were doing both.
So Kubel's signed, what going on with Endoh?
Bez said they were working on resigning him but it was complicated, some have speculated that maybe they were working on a way to make him a domestic. As we know the Reds have one international spot open at this point.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
The skyrocketing cost of acquiring an international spot likley factors in to him not being signed as of yet.
No point using an international spot on a player that will be on a minimum (or thereabouts) deal when international sports are going for well over a 100k in GAM now.
Completly agree there, using the eighth international spot on an end of the bench reserve does not make much sense on face value. But truth be told even if they did sign Endoh say tomorrow as an off budget player nothing would stop them from releasing him at a later date if something better came along.
I mean they did use their eighth int spot last year on Alseth who played all of 4 games and 269 minutes with the first team.

What are USL salaries like. Since USL-to-MLS short-terms loans are now a thing, could we backdoor it? Sign Endoh to a USL deal with a salary like a minimum MLS deal and if we ever need him, utilize a short-term loan. Then if we need him longer, can give him an MLS deal and the final INTL spot
You can only use those short-term loans in emergency situations for MLS games (i.e. you have so many injured players that you can't fill a bench for a match).

Toronto FC announced Thursday that the club has re-signed defender Chris Mavinga to a multi-year contract extension.
“From the moment he joined Toronto FC, Chris has made a significant positive impact for our club and was an important figure in our success last season in winning the treble,” said Toronto FC General Manager Tim Bezbatchenko. “We are pleased to extend his contract and ensure he will remain a part of our club as we open our title defences this season.”
I guess all the worry about Mavinga leaving in the off season was unfounded.....
awesome news.....probably most underrated defender in MLS.....you hear nothing about the guy.....
