Interested to see if Salcedo is in Tigres lineup tonight. If he isn't, you gotta think the deal is close.

Salcedo loves some cryptic tweets.

"The last dance"
Well sounds like he's definitely leaving. Surely the italian is a nod to Insigne/TFC.
Looks like it is a done deal. Mexican papers reporting this is Salcedo's last game as both teams approved the deal today.

Ball deflects off the post then hits Salcedo in the groin for a goal to Puebla. Looked like that one hurt.
LOL...he just scored an own goal off his loins
I can see twitter now.
Edit - they have started… LOL

A dick goal.
What a baller.
Dude got the winning goal...
Other than the accidental goal, I thought he looked good. Wasn't challenged defensively, but he's incredibly comfortable on the ball and pushes forward a lot. Should be fun to see.

3 years plus an option for Salcedo. Will wear #3 and be the highest paid defender in MLS. Last year the highest paid defender was Aljaz Struna on $1.2M. I'm still hopeful he's on a max TAM salary and is a DP until Insigne arrives... but we shall see.
Unless MLS is considering the trade of Soteldo as a transfer fee, in which case, he would be a DP for the next 3 seasons.
I would add, it's a shame the majority of the journalists in Toronto who cover TFC don't care enough to ask these types of questions or simply don't have the sources. In some cases, they just don't know enough about the cap rules. I guess we will find out in time.

DP and U22 Initiative are two different things
Everyone gets a max of 3 DP's young or not
Number of U22 Initiative slots drpend on:
If a Club has a vacant third Designated Player slot, the Club will have available three U22 Initiative Slots.
If a Club elects to sign a third Designated Player, the number of U22 Initiative Slots would be impacted in the following way:
- If the third Designated Player is a Young Designated Player, the club will have all three U22 Initiative Slots.
- If the third Designated Player is age 24 or older, yet is at, or below, Maximum Targeted Allocation Money Amount ($1,612,500), the club will have all three U22 Initiative Slots.
- If the third Designated Player is age 24 or older and is above Maximum Targeted Allocation Money Amount ($1,612,500), the club will have one U22 Initiative Slot.
Anybody got a video copy of that hardware commercial that had Soteldo in it?
Might become as much a part of TFC lore as Frings at the GO Station.

I have to say, a straight Soteldo for Salcedo swap really impresses me. I mean, Salcedo anchored a back line that shut Germany out at the last World Cup. He was an effective player in the Bundesliga too. On a straight soccer talent basis, he is a clear level up from Yefe. Plus Yefe's whole contract thing is just an absolute mess.
I am fine if Salcedo is a DP, he is serious quality. Hats off to Manning/Bradley.
Caveat: I don’t really understand why are Tigres selling? And why no one else in Mexico paid up? Salcedo has bounced around a fair bit… and it's not like it's obvious he will fall in love with Toronto. Risk of an unhappy player down the road is not small. But there is risk in everything…
