Looks like Lucas Janson hasn't signed with Velez. Some talk that he is on his way to Toronto. On the #TFClive Twitter handle.
What’s up with Gallardo?? Is he going to play today?
On Thursday Vanney said he had a quad issue.
I just wanted to say, 27 minutes in and those who were saying get rid of Bradley for Fraser make me very angry.
This is a losing squad tonight but you’re an idiot if you think Fraser takes Bradley’s role at this point.
I think the biggest inseason move which needs to happen after tonight's game is a new coach who is proven
There is clearly no doubt that Greg Vanney and co must be fired. I had 10 people behind me near the end of the game just insulting Vanney for 5 straight minutes. And that coward curled up like a baby. He was quiet on the bench all game...the houston coach was lively all game. He is an incompetent coach and was never good, just had good players making up for his shit. That lineup tonight...just plain stupid.
2.2 transfer fee?
Plus whatever he wants per year, amortize that 2.2 over the length of the contract, so we have the TAM available to close it down?
Say he wants 1.5 a year, but a 2 year contract, that would make 3.6 a year, we have 1mm in TAM left, we can’t.
1.5, 5 year, would be a different story, 440,000, but with remaining TAM still doesn’t drop him below maximum budget charge.
This is all hypothetical and based on “reporting” that we only have 1mm in TAM remaining.
Just not seeing how it will work with our current financial situation.
Maybe if he wants a million a year for 5, it would work, cause you could buy down the million in TAM then our budget charge would be 440,000 which in my opinion is well worth it for someone who’s quality is Better than Oso..
Well that would just be writing on the wall Bradley is leaving at the end of the season.
I think they could do it, if management backloaded the salary after the remaining half of the 2019 season.
Good little player, not sure if he is worth the effort we’ve expended in chasing him.
he better not be a dp...he wont sell a ticket,6000 to 7000 empty seats every game.i hope they are looking for more of a name for a dp.
I doubt he would ask for 1.5 mill per year. He seems to really want to come to toronto. What is he being paid now?
4 year deal 1 mill a season plus 2.2 mill fee, 6.2 mill over 4 years is just over the max 1.5 per year. If they accept a 2 mill fee it would workout. But all this tam nonsense could go out the window in a year with a new cba.
Said this at the beginning of the year, and will say this again. Outside of Omar and Mavinga, and maybe Moor on small salary, every other CB needs to go. Garbage CB’s, with bloated contracts. We talk about a wingers and strikers all the time, which I do believe we need, but we never fixed our CB problem from last year (Omar excluded). We still need 1 more good CB, and maybe a young CB from TFC2 to groom.
The numbers are the least issue, because the FO know what they have to work with.
I’m thinking they landed on Gallardo because he’s cheap and other teams were asking too much thinking they’d fleece us.
So either we have TAM left over after signing Gallardo and it’s enough to bring in someone else, or we realized we can’t possibly sign the players we wanted for what we had available and resorted to signing Gallardo instead.
Gonzalez has looked good so far, and if he doesn’t catch the TFC injury but it would be great. I don’t think Mavinga can play the full season, which is unfortunate. That’s the only reason to still have Ciman, but we should be looking for a younger ball-playing CB to replace him (though that’s a difficult type of player to find for cheap).
Moor is cooked and has looked terrible this year. If they give him a Hernandez deal I could see it, but I don’t see him returning after this year otherwise.
Zavaleta should be any cheap domestic backup CB, and unfortunately I don’t think Dunn is ready.
i wonder if we have a urrutti/gallardo situation here,gm signing.coach not liking the player.
Or maybe we have a “hadn’t trained in over a month and came out too hard to get match fit and strained a quad” issue..
I don’t think it’s hard to believe that players pick up knocks, issues and strains while training..
could have been something as simple as over training, trying to get up to speed too quickly does the same thing.. who knows, all speculation at this point, but I think we might see him next weekend.
