Shway Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I knew Okello was done, when I saw him change agents and post the classic highlight reel. Hope he lands on his feet in a decent European league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. More money than sense is a phrase that jumps out when you see the salary figures, then look at the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'm predicting now Insigne leaves at the end of the 2023 season. One year at that pay is probably the equivalent of 4-5 years of what he could have gotten in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets tricky because the league pays all contracts under a certain threshold (and Henry's contract is well below it), and because LAFC waived him his salary "cap" hit didn't really affect TFC that much. If he came back in 2023 his full salary would hit TFC's cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, he could score 40 goals next year, win the league MVP and bring TFC the cup and I don’t think the $14m would be justified. Mind you, it is not the player’s fault if Manning wants to be that stupid. He probably thought Insigne would be Giovinco Mk 2 but I think I posted back in January that this was never likely to be the case, especially at age 31. He isn’t that kind of player that will dominate games from the middle of the park, he never has been. A great player but he can never be worth that amount of cash.

kacbru Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 At least for Michael Bradley, the fact that he played basically every minute of the season brings down his salary/90 minute ratio to a more reasonable rate. jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insigne doesn't look like he can handle the physicality of the league, so he'll never be Giovinco 2.0. I actually thought Bernedechsi was way more effective than Insigne. Hopefully in 2023 he'll come back prepared, now that he has played a few games in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I am sure our 50% tax bracket led to Insigne’s incredible 14 million salary. Not sure how personal taxes work in Europe but if he was gonna get paid 5 million and keep all/most of it then TFC needed to guarantee him7 million after taxes to get him here.

Most of western Europe has pretty well-developed social programs, probably even more so than Canada. I can't imagine that the theoretical top tax brackets in any of the countries with Top 5 leagues will be much lower than Canada, if at all. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I thought this was some urban myth created by the media and agents. I don't think Messi could of got this money in MLS even when he was 31.
