    We don't usually include Canadian MLS clubs, but there are several Yanks in the CPL who have threads.

    Another long loan out of MLS (though not the 18-month and flippin' 24-month loans I've read about in the last two weeks). I doubt this post will be read by more than 7 people so I don't expect the answer here, but I'm still wondering what it is about these long loan deals that various MLS clubs are going for right now. If anyone gives a satisfactory answer in this thread I'll rep the post and mail you 3 gold star stickers.

    Maybe there's a plan to loosen the rules governing the amount of allocation money teams can get from transfers?

    Right now, that amount is capped at $1,050,000 that can be used as general allocation money, regardless of the sale price. If teams know that cap is going up soon, it would make sense to delay any 7-figure deal until after that happens.

    Or MLS expects there to be more money in the transfer market when Covid has less of an effect on club revenues. That wouldn't seem to apply to Arriola though - his value isn't going to go up much no matter how he plays on loan.

    What an excellent hypothesis! This seems like a very logical explanation. It also gives clarity to some prior questions I'd had specifically about FCD and what they could do with the money from all their recent sales--at least in the sense that I thought they couldn't get nearly the value out of the sales under current rules--and my thinking that the rules would have to change imminently, as this appears to soon be a problem that several other MLS clubs will face with the current setup. I suspect you're likely to be right in your supposition, so thanks for connecting the dots so well!

    PM me your address if you'd like me to mail you 3 gold stars.

    EDIT: Badass, dude.

    Maybe you meant you would have a plausible answer in less than seven posts.:)

    Reports that the MLS club that's most interested, or at least one of the ones that is interested, is Charlotte, with a big offer.

    yeah seriously. Club America all worked up about a player who I don’t get worked up about.

    Both Arriola and Acosta feel the heats for their USMNT career esp. WC if they don’t go play for a better competition.

    I'm just catching up on the latest with this (last i heard the loan to CA was a done deal)

    Just...wow

    DCU has done some really poor business over the years to give players what they want but if this unfolds the way it seems it's going, I feel terrible for Paul

    At this point I hope the move back to MX works out because this saga is almost reaching the level of Lucho Acosta's failed PSG transfer

    That never happened. Some third party fooled Acosta’s people. PSG was never interested, and obviously never WOULD be interested in a player like Acosta.

    Is this satire? What the heck are you talking about?
