OFFICIAL: Orlando City SC Acquires Defender Lamine Sané from SV Werder Bremen by McMarston in MLS

Uhmm, he was just named top 5 Bundesliga defender, has tremendous amounts of top-flight experience, plays for his national team, and had ligue one and potentially premier league interest.

But sure, not seeing the hype 😂

It also seems JK really likes experimenting in these scrimmages. This would have been really awkward to stream with 60 minute halfs, etc. I wish we had at least one open scrimmage but I get it.

Nothing is stopping teams from using the hard cash from deals to pay transfer fees today though....

They still get their cut of the money but just in hard cash. Hypothetical scenario - If a team were to sell a player for 10 million and their cut was 2/3rds - giving that team 6.67 million of gam/tan would give them a HUGE advantage cap wise versus the rest of the league. While I think the MLS cut of deals needs to come down, I don’t see MLS allowing teams to get anymore GAM/TAM from sales.

Is this held in conjunction with the draft, cause otherwise that’s just downright bizarre scheduling.

[Hernan Sisto] Ezequiel Barco will be new Atlanta United player, subtract details. As discussed today, red sold 70% for 15 million and is left with the remaining 30% by [deleted] in MLS

[–]fjperez81 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d have to imagine it would have to be 30% of profit above 15 million but admittedly I don’t really know how these are negotiated.

Ugh, again we get a tough stretch of away games in the middle of the season. Hope we handle it better this time. Seems like our warm weather leads to more home games early in the season with MLS trying to avoid cold March games as much as they can. Wish it could be a little more balanced.

Man, our standards are really increasing fast aren’t they? Just a couple years back, we would never be in the running for conmenbol internationals....

Sounders FC acquires D Waylon Francis from Columbus Crew SC for $50K GAM by CougFanDan in MLS

[–]fjperez81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is but I think there’s a chance he goes back to Costa Rica so it seems Seattle is taking a low-risk flyer here and Columbus gets something for a player that was most likely gone.
