Dear God our salaries are out of wack...!!!

Frings & JDG at basically the same salary...
Our starting keeper at $44,000 a season...

I'll be updating the first post in a moment.

EDIT
Changes to the first post have been done. Updating it with the latest salary information from the players union website.

[Bdking2]

Eckersley's guaranteed salary is listed at $390,000. So it must have been paid down with allocation right?? I have listed it in the first post as the maximum cap hit of $350,000

Hey D...I mean BD King, quality thread. Thanks for the info!

[Bdking2]

Burgos has been released so I will remove him from the roster list. Hopefully these Nesta rumours are true, but we can only wait and see.

[prizby]

i believe academy grads are exempt from the salary cap

So should I move Henry into the Off Budget Players section??

[prizby]

So should I move Henry into the Off Budget Players section??

that would be my take on it...

http://www.mlssoccer.com/2012-mls-roster-rules

Clubs may sign up to two Homegrown Players contracts above the minimum salary and similar to Generation adidas player contract amounts.

[Bdking2]

Prizby,

I reread the rules and agree. I moved Henry to the off budget players and moved Frei to disabled list. This currently leaves roster spots 19-20 free. Having them free still uses up a "minimum salary budget charge" which I wrote in at $33,750. If Plata does get loaned out in the next day or two, a roster spot has to be filled. Unless we make a new signing, I was thinking Emroy would move to the 18 spot?? What do you think?

Toronto FC needs a Center Back! I've been scouting and the best bang for the buck is Austin Berry. He earns $44,000 base salary, and his stats place him as a contender for a spot on the All Star team bench. 2 Goals scored, only 1 yellow card, 65 th on the Castrol rankings. He is 6'2", very mobile for his height, and is only 23 years old. We should be trading for this guy, the problem is the league has already noticed so we wouldn't be the only team vying for his services. I would trade fringe players, a late draft pick and cash for him.

Ha! He was available in the draft this year. We could have had him for free if we wanted him.

[SiguenzaFC]

Ha! He was available in the draft this year. We could have had him for free if we wanted him.

He was the 9th pick, along with Jean Baptiste, they were the two premier defenders in the draft. TFC picked Aaron Maund 12th, who was the 4th defender picked by then.

I am glad we missed out on Nesta... big contract, no pace, and language barrier. He is a better fit in Montreal.

I wonder if Houston would be open to dealing Hainault (150k) for Maund (44k) and Jeremy Hall (100k). They play him at right back, but he can play at CB. Houston has Hunter Freeman a good stat guy, and Sarkodie a fast and promising prospect at RB, and they would get another prospect in Maund and a faster version of Freeman in Hall.

Jakovic would be harder to get because DC expect him to partner with Brandon McDonald for the next 5 years, but not impossible. Those two are on VAN and MTL radar as they are Canadian, but we are TFC dammit we deserve the best!

[Yohan]

Hunter Freeman now plays for Houston.

Hainault ain't going nowhere, especially for a silly trade like Maund and Hall. Kinnear would have to drank a lot of stupid juice

[Bdking2]

I removed Soolsma as per him being released. As well moved Plata to a loan position. I assume at this point his salary still affects us but we can fill his roster spot??

[Bdking2]

I have removed de Guzman as per his trade and added Wiedeman. As I understand Wiedeman is Gen Adidas so his salary doesn't count towards our cap.

Also with Plata on a proper loan do we get to use his International Roster spot on someone else??

[narduch]

I believe so. We just don't get cap relief (unless MLS rules have changed recently).

[JonO]

These rules are too complicated. I thought that soolsma would still count toward the cap since it is after July 1

[JonO]

Depending on the loan agreement, i think we may get allocation (for plata)

[Bdking2]

I just moved Kovs to the DL list, freeing up his roster spot and international spot.

[ag futbol]

I think we should move Morgan over the the on-cap section. We don't know the amount of his deal yet, but from my understanding he now counts against the cap.

Good call. With his new deal he must count against the cap, I'll move him up.

[joeyjones]

the new deal kicks in this season? not an extension?

[Bdking2]

Hassli has been added to the roster. Also corrected the International Roster spots.

[Bdking2]

Removed Aceval as per his mutual release from the team. His $199,087, will hopefully allow us to bring someone in, in the next couple of days.

The base salary is the one that counts.

[prizby]

The base salary is the one that counts.

if it was base salary, then wouldn't everyone's base salary be 44k with massive guaranteed comp.

[jazzy]

Hall.,...Cann,...and sorry Ecks way way too much,..for that much we shouldn't see so many errors to goals and more professionalism... .way overpaid.....Kocic must be pissed,....the kids HAVE to have a raise at least $60,000....don't no how they survive,..in this relatively expensive city
