They would have to take a serious pay cut. I've done business with Saputo cheese in the past, and these guys are the cheapest men alive. Ya. Really seems to good to be true. He's going to take a 75% pay cut? How bad is it really? I'm convinced that they sat Insigne down and reminded him that no one will pay him what he's getting. That's when he started performing better. Still not worth it though Ivan and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not worth it though If TFC is going to bring in an International striker, with the zany MLS rules, it probably is better to get rid of Bernadeschi and use that International slot for a new striker. The going rate for an international slot is $50,000 GAM I believe. No point in wasting any more GAM for a lost season. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I see that a former TFC first round draft pick was signed as a placekicking candidate for the Dallas Cowboys after having a strong performance in the USFL: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37970700/cowboys-sign-usfl-standout-brandon-aubrey-vie-kicker-job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Sounds like the Bernardeschi loan to Bologna is almost complete. Just need to hammer out how much TFC pays of his salary Ivan and nfitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Reinforcements Incoming? I have it on good authority that Bill Manning was out at Mississauga Greek Fest this morning and after seeing the potential fanbase there, he immediately returned to the office, consulted Transfrmarkt and started working the phones. I hear he's made significant progress in securing the signature of Euro 2004 star Angelos Charisteas. A deal is imminent.

Jack1997 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Might as well just let everyone go that’s too old, you might be able to still get a decent amount of money from Johnson and maybe even Oso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Why is MLSE allowing Manning to make any more decisions on players for the rest of the season? Unless Hedges wanted out. Nello, narduch and Stryker911 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rydermike Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Doubt this is Manning. It's probably Hernandez deciding to clean out the old and overpaid. He apparently is big on the analytics and getting increasing value, while a guy like Hedges is a depreciating value player at his age of 33 and 1M salary jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not happening... This was a small window of opportunity. Might as well clear house when you get the offers. Some of the other higher paid guys on the roster, notably at CF, I doubt are movable without some salary consumption. Also worth noting is that soundtrack for the new messiah gaffer seems to have only crickets playing in the background. What are the FanDuel odds that Dunners has the job until sesson's end?

costarg Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 What is going on? Is this a mid-season rebuild or are players giving ultimatums? Perhaps it was not Bradley after all, and he really was pulling a Conte to get himself sacked asap. The toxicity seems to be off the charts. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad watching Miami fans thinking they can make a run into the playoffs and TFC is rebuilding again. Just also want to say that the rebuilding trope is bs. Lots of teams can change their teams in 1 window. But for some reason loser TFC fans always act like it takes years to rebuild in soccer.

YorkRegionFan Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I am pretty impressed with what Jason Hernandez is doing so far. Imagine if he was in charge this past off season, we would have had a half decent team, instead of the tire fire we have now.

Without freeing up the DP slots, and some of the big senior roster players....Jason is going to have to work some real magic.
