That makes 2 of us No idea what the fuck we will be doing at the top of our 4-2-3-1 now. Ola Kamara? Conor fucking Casey?
Kamara makes sense for NE with guys like Tierney and Woodbury at fullback whipping in crosses. Plus NE doesn't strike me as a team that would put those TAM + GAM bucks to use.
Can work great if you locate the right piece with the Garber bucks (I haven't seen that used before but I like it....I might also be dumb and its a common saying). Portland got Adi and Valeri who has mostly been a stud (minus a shit finish here and there).
Yea, I believe that is correct. Just love the name Garber bucks though, most fitting way I've heard it called NittanyKnight
TAM was created to allow the Dos Santos deal to be completed. LA used it to "buy" down Omar Gonzalez contract. Seattle used to sign Torres as well. Orlando may have used to complete the signings of Winter and Mateos last season. Not sure of the orgins of Garber Bucks but that person or people is/are genius. Now someone with far more creativity and the necessary program to create the official Garber Bucks. This should be the image used for the face.
TAM can basically only be used to sign DPs and to lower DPs contract amount to bring in another DP at that same time (so you can have 4 DPs like LA with Dos Santos in 15).* Each team gets $800K a year in TAM in 2016 and 2017.* GAM can be used for the same purposes at TAM, but also simple to reduce a players cap hit and aquire players outside MLS that are non-DP level.* You can't use both GAM and TAM on the same player.* * - Can be changed on a whim by MLS at anytime.
I believe I'm pretty knowledgable with my sports facts and understanding how the leagues work. I've been watching soccer for 3.5 years now and feel I've picked up on it pretty fast. When it comes to how MLS 'works' I have no idea and I've yet to meet one person that completely understands it. It's like the NFL catch rule....but it runs the entire league.
The problem with MLS, like triceratops just said, is that they can and do change the rules on a whim.
No one knows how it works including those in charge of enforcing the rules and it constantly changes depending the clubs involved in the dealing. Speaking of which; Zlatan to Galaxy seems to be gaining legs as the day goes on.
One idea out there is that Keane is going to retire after this season and Zlatan would be signed and loaned to a Euro team until January. Also Stevie G's contract is up at the end of the year as well.
Yes. Gerrard is out, but De Jong contract is for DP money next year if he plays in 23 games though. So they have Keane, Dos Santos and most likely De Jong as 2017 as DPs. Keane could potentially retire. De Jong could get a couple more reds. MLS could make some new rule to accommodate Zlatan. All seem equally possible. Discovery List for DPs is the dumbest of the dumb MLS rules.
Team just took the field for warmups and Meram came to the corner and kept pointing at and slapping his crest. Didn't pay too much attention but think the banners outside the stadium are down and the fan banners of Kei are down or covered
Soft as butter Altidore wanted to take it. Misses it and suddenly falls down injured after the linesman wouldn't raise his flag.
Would've taken a draw going in but disappointed to drop the points Team needs to figure out what they're doing, Colorado is so much bigger and without Kei there isn't an aerial threat yet there were way too many long passes or crosses
What a week gents, it sure is nice being back in the friendly confines of Dallas Frisco for the Hoops. First Portland and then Seattle. Bring on the Revolution...jk it's on the road, were gonna lose.
Sporting may not score again the rest of the season. I think they said its been 240 minutes when this game started so it'll pass 300 in the second half. OC will get a counter goal at some point. Worst run this team has been in since sporting park opened.
Jesus Christ. Jake Peterson, where build ups go to die, is the sporting savior. What a time to be alive.
Sporting finished with 35 shots, team record was 28. Tried finding mls record but gave up after 5 mins.
3rd highest total in league history. 38 by Metrostars and 36 by Dallas. Both in '98 and in losing efforts (2-1 scoreline in each). All three matches involved clubs from Florida. Spoiler oh look Sporting just took another shot
Portland sign Amobi Okugo. Amobi Okugo @amobisays Excited & blessed to join a top class organization @TimbersFC.. All love 2 my family&friends who showed love when patience was tested
At worst has been NYCFC 2nd best player this year. He is eligible to play for Ireland and supposedly they have looked into him.
