petrasso just signed so there is really no need...should be plenty of options for him if hes willing to take much less than the 132 he made last year
Uhhhh.. A MLS homegrown or a TFC homegrown? This could be bad...
"Akinola’s new contract is thought to be among the richest ever given to an MLS homegrown or academy product, and the 21-year-old expects to compete to be Toronto’s starting striker"

The record is Jordan Morris's deal isnt it? 250-300k IIRC
Ashtone was superb in CCL and scored a very memorable goal against America. I still remember the TFC bench just going completely nuts for him when this happened, they were so happy for him...

Aye. The way the article was written I was thinking it would be the highest HG contract as opposed to U22 or DP. Going that route I think Zardes was the only player prior to Ferreira going from HG to DP.
I had said a few pages back I wouldn't be surprised if he gets an U22 contract. We shall see.
for u22 initiative a homegrown who is on his second contract can earn up to 200k above the maximum salary budget charge
I think that Tashreeq Matthews link shows they have other plans for the u-22 spot.
Seems legit. FFS. Marky was my guy.

I know the season doesn't start for another six weeks, but this is too many players out and Shane O'Neill (Insigne eventually) in.
They are reliable
says a trade, wonder who we could get from them?
* edit to say they expect it to be for GAM, not a player
More playing time for Michael Bradley.
Delgado has looked a little out of sorts for two seasons now. Move will probably be good for him, get him back to the consistently excellent number eight he's been for us for years.
I remember before he signed his much improved contract some discussion that he felt underappreciated here but I don't think that was ever the case. We all knew what a decent player he was.
I loved Marky. Makes me sad. Amazing fitness level and did not get caught out of position very often. He will thrive in that market, playing for Vanney.
Making room for MAK.
I will also accept Eustaquio if MAK cannot be sprung loose.

Kudos to the guy at hf boards...who had this trade 3 days ago ,i think about 500k gam.because delgado is at a 500k salary
Yeah. I am stubborn/boring that way.
I really thought I was on to something before the Acosta deal. Could still happen if Bassett isn't loaned out. They were really overloaded in MF, and still kind of are. They signed a 20 year old Brazilian, a couple of weeks ago, on a big deal. Fee of over $1M. Guy named Max. Plus they have Price and Barrios.
I actually thought Fraser might move for Delgado as part of this grand theory of the universe…
Seriously, I do think someone significant is coming into that spot. Could be someone from BB's European network. Could be a U 22 player like that rumour from Sweden. And it could, still, be MAK..

Bradley, Osorio, Pozuelo is now set in stone for the midfield. Priso and Okello the only back-ups. There needs to be another signing coming in to replace Delgado for this to make sense.
