My feeling on Lawrence is similar to that of Delgado. It all depends what we get for him. I do like the player.

With our Dps am I correct in thinking Ayo can be our only U22 player?
just looked it up
U22 Initiative Roster Slots
Number of Slots:
Each MLS team will have up to three U22 Initiative Slots that will each occupy one of the 20 existing Senior Roster Slots. The number of U22 Initiative Slots available to each team will be based on that team’s use of its third Designated Player slot.
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.
These MLS rules seem so bush league. Charlotte FC's franchise fee was north of 300 million yet we have a budgetcap under 5 million
^ thanks that’s helpful.
So who is your third DP? Does it go in a order you signed them? Whoever is cheapest? Lol
I know he's off the roster now, but apparently Inter Miami is interested in Gallardo

Since we’re throwing money around, we should offer $100 million for Phil Foden just to make a mockery of these MLS rules. He’d be great in one of these under 22 slots!

I hope we get some good news on incoming players soon, outside of the Insigne bubble this has all been very underwhelming. I get that this is cleaning up Ali's mess, but we gotta start getting stuff over the line. That part might be a bit harder than Bradley and Manning anticipated.
It's Ayo's birthday. Guess they waited until today to announce the contract to match up with it
Anyways, I am very frustrated by Ayo being a u-22 player.
On another note, does Lawrence leaving mean that Shaff is being shifted to LB?
I wonder if TFC is stockpiling some of this GAM to make a move similar to this.

Because we lost the ability to pay a decent sized transfer fee for a player from outside of the club and have them come in and help reinforce the roster. We already held Ayo's rights and just freed up nearly 600k in moving Delgado. I have zero issue with Ayo coming back and getting paid, I just think this is a waste of the slot. We have like 18 players under contract and this was a way to get another young, high potential guy in here.
I’d have to imagine we can move Ayo out of a U22 spot and into a normal senior roster spot if the right move is available. Given some of the other rumours we’ve been looking at other U22 players in the international market.
Is this the most active TFC off-season ever; roster wise?
Hell, I don't know anymore... Mission Impossible... these lineups will self destruct by the time you read this...
Maybe... with the expectation Salcedo is actually acquired...
If Mavinga goes... Auro---Salcedo---O'Neill---Shaffelburg...
If Mavinga stays... Auro---Salcedo---Mavinga---O'Neill...
If Criscito comes... Auro/O'Neill...Salcedo---Criscito---Mavinga/Shaffelburg...
????????? I give up!
