Wow.
If the reports were accurate that JDG and TFC were in contract negotiations recently, the two sides were probably far apart, and Mariner decided to act now.

Maybe they are going to bring back Joao Plata on loan from LQD?
Well it looks like the contract negotiations didn't go too well.. Probably went something like this..
JDG: So I wanna come back next year and play for TFC.. Tell you what I'll play for the same 1.9 million..
Cochrane: well first let me find the damn paper work. Anyways I was thinking around 1.5
JDG: 1.5 million where do I sign..
Cochrane: no I was thinking 1.5k
JDG: oh ok let's just make it a cool mill and call it even
Cochrane: tell you what here's a one way ticket to the big d, now we're even..
Would this be the first ever DP trade? Cant recall any others..
there was another...Freddy Ljungberg perhaps?
EDIT: Yes it was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fredrik_Ljungberg

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Juan Pablo Angel?
Yes, actually just did a quick look-up....
Freddie Ljungberg, Jaun Pablo Angel, Claudio Lopez (played for KC and COL, but I do not believe it was a trade)
...gotta love that there internets.
Still in shock!

I'm asking around.
As always, when I get an update, I'll let you all know!
Wow. Unglaublich.
JDG's agent is a miracle worker. Massive opportunity for the FO. Things are going to be a bit thin in the roster for a bit until they unveil whoever they have in mind. Time to start a pool? I call last day of transfer window. Just hoping whoever they get is prominent enough to have a picture in his wiki entry.
I heard that! This team is like following a soap, for crying out loud.
Damn, if Mariner lands George John or even just a good draft pick, I'd be happy. Open up a DP spot and land some young talent. John might have realized he's not ready for Europe when he couldn't crack a first team game at West Ham.
Can I answer here to the thread:
"What would get you to renew your seasons?"

I wonder if we even see another dp this year. Any prominant dp would require at a minimum a 2 year contract and with the sale of ML$E this maybe something that's not approved at the moment. I guess we'll find out in the next couple of weeks.
2-1 it's McKenna as a low-level DP.
Mista is coming back
This is unbelievable, I never thought this would happen. I'm shocked Dallas agreed to take him and are apparently paying his salary. I wonder if we'll get any players back, likely not.
I bet they have another DP lined up. I hope it's a CB.
Man I'm so happy. I was 100% against resigning JDG but now we don't even have to wait until the end of the season to get rid of him. Fan-fucking-tastic.
Who the heck is going to sub for Frings/Dunfield this weekend?
Does this mean Dallas have more Canadians than Vancouver?
