    If they both overspent here and also habitually do so, would this purchase be chronic wasting disease?

    *looks for quick exit*
    *tiptoes out quietly*

    All jesting aside, this sounds like a solid deal for both teams.

    Tom Bogert say:

    Sources: Real Salt Lake have completed a deal to acquire Willy Agada from Sporting KC.

    Deal around $500k GAM + $350k GAM add-ons.

    Club confident in his ability to lead the line, a proven MLS goalscorer. RSL have flexibility to add DP in summer if they want.

    FANBOY SAY:

    No word on Johnny Russell.

    Aiden O’Neill’s move from Standard Liege to New York City FC is all but done. Medical completed & now just waiting on final confirmation before he rejoins the City Football Group. Fee of €2.5m a bargain for a player of his level and great for Aus football.

    Well, that explains why SKC got that Mexican striker on loan a day or two ago

    Please tell me that NYCFC explained to him that Dumbo Moving is a real company and one of their sponsors, rather than a commentary on his transfer . . .
    :D

    Not sure, but I thought it was the other way around. If they waited until after the window closed to cut him, then he would have to wait until the next window.

    Generally yes but the waiver system operates differently:


    Waivers
    A club may place a player on Waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other MLS clubs. The Waiver Claiming Period shall commence on the first business day after the League delivers notice to clubs and expires at 5 p.m. ET on the second business day. If a player is not selected off Waivers ("clears Waivers") then that player is available to all MLS clubs on a first-come, first-served basis.

    So he’d be good to be claimed by anyone else in MLS even if he was waived next week.

    And USL can sign free agents outside the transfer window up until the roster freeze on September 8.

    The Sounders have signed Osaze De Rosario from the MLSNP team. Usually not a big deal, but Osaze is the son of Dwayne De Rosario and has been tearing up MLSNP this season with 8 goals in 5 games and 10 goals in all competitions. He first joined the Defiance in 2024 where he scored 6 goals in 22 appearances.

    This kid is a MNT U-17/18 and won GA cup MVP in 2024, as well as led Philly to U-17 titles.

    He’s got to be a Monarch’s player for the rest of this year, as I think RSL has maxxed out their roster spots.

    This must be pure smoke. If Chicago is willing to pay his salary demands (allegedly) why would he try to go to Austin? My guess is they are trying to get more money out of Chicago or Napoli (another potential destination) and are just creating rumors. Austin doesn't even have DP spots open.

    If he doesn't renew it will hurt MLS and specially Miami. Not saying MLS is doomed and that's the end of them but he does bring in a lot of fans to away and home games.

    Nah. MLS will be fine without him. Tbh I think the Messi effect has already worn off.

    Messi compensated for any harm done by Covid. MLS is back on its growth curve.

    Not saying MLS is doomed but he is still putting a lot of butts on seats. That can't be denied. Look at all the packed stadiums when Miami plays away.

    Just checking, but did MLS survive after Beckham left?

    Where else is Messi going to play realistically? He's not going to go to Saudi Arabia, unless he wants a divorce. Argentina? Again, family safety is huge for him with young children.

    Ultimately, IMO the contract talks have stalled because he's looking for assurances that the team's roster will be improved. He's either going to extend his playing career with Miami, or retire from playing.

    MLS will be fine either way. Sure one away game for every eastern conference team may have a few less fans at it, oh well.
