    So I guess the majority of the great footballing minds on RPB have already written this guy off, I choose to wait and see what the player does on the field, not a bunch of hearsay from the interwebs, FFS

    Like I said, he could be great here or not.

    No hearsay; it’s all public record as the guy tends to overshare in interviews and on social media.

    I don’t think they are at all. Just raising obvious and interesting questions from public sources

    According to The Athletic, TFC have an option for 2020 on Michael Bradley. https://theathletic.com/1108954/2019...-negotiations/

    Toronto hold option on Bradley for 2020

    Although it’s been widely reported that Michael Bradley’s deal with Toronto FC expires at the end of the season, multiple sources have told The Athletic that the club has an option to pick up his contract for the 2020 season.
    Bradley is making $6,500,000 in guaranteed compensation in 2019, the second-highest total in MLS behind Zlatan Ibrahamovic. The sources said he’d make that same amount next season if TFC pick up his option for 2020. His option will automatically trigger if Toronto win MLS Cup this fall.

    No way we exercise that option at 6.5m if Seba got nixed like he did.

    Bradley is going to exercise that option by winning us the MLS Cup single-handedly.

    Guarantee no one wants MLS Cup more than Bradley just for that trigger in his contract.

    Re-upping MB for a single year is very different and a lot less risky than keeping Seba for 3-5 years. They also showed they were willing to bump up salary with Jozy.

    I don't think TFC pull the trigger on 6.5 million if they have a choice.

    Probably not. But if it was the price of MB going to TAM thereafter its a good move IMO.

    Michael Bradley will never EVER EVER accept TAM money. It is pointless to continue to mention this idea. This will never happen. Cool off on the Hopium drinks...it's making y'all sound silly...

    Maybe. But as part of a a deal that keeps him three more years, the first year his option, the next two at TAM - just maybe. Thats $9.5 million over three years or over $3 million per year; 11 over 4. I think its possible. But then the question is would TFC pick up his option?

    Nobody else is offering him $6+ either so unless he wants to retire, he may have no choice but to go for TAM or whatever they invent in the new CBA.

    He won't get $6.5 million again, but Bradley would get a DP contract in a number of MLS teams. He will either be DP somewhere else, DP here for 1 year (if offered) & then TAM, or TAM here.

    Unfortunately Fraser is nowhere near ready for this role full-time on a team expecting home playoff dates so we probably have no choice. Plus down the road he would make a good manager, if he would stay in Canada.

    Speculation unless you're MB or his agent. We don't know what he'd accept or wants to do. Will he take more money, who wouldn't, we can't speculate as to what else would appeal to him

    Maybe Benezet fits in afterall. Probably most Euro footballers have a preconceived notion of what MLS is and they most likely think it will be bush league. Then they hit the Kia training grounds and realize it's real.

    He says that now but will he feel the same way on a Wednesday night game in March in New England?

    The number of teams in good stadiums with actual support is starting outweigh the Colorados, Chicagos, and New Englands of MLS now though.

    It's not just one dump to the next like it was a few years ago.

    TFC's official social media channels have had a lot more pictures of Benezet than they have of Gallardo. Adding to the possibility that Gallardo is JUST A FAKE PLAYER FROM FIFA 94.

    Try February in Nashville - next year the season is starting a couple of weeks earlier.

    I think Nashville will be one of the more popular destinations for visiting players. There are poorly supported teams in France and Spain as well... not every Euro team is Barca or Liverpool.

    In the stands...sure. Outside as a player?

    (MLS is likely to make the February games all home in warm climates - Nashville will be slightly above freezing so they will get them)

    But, yah...lets go with Home CCL game here.

    BMO Field in February, forget it. Last year in Champions League was the first time I questioned why I came. It was so cold and not a lot of fun.

    Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
