    Cavan doesn't play striker.....

    David Vazquez is likely close to making his MLS first team debut later in June when Gazdag is away.

    Curtin better start playing Baribo instead of Donovan though........

    IMO, if the Union have it (doubtful with all of the players they have around the million dollar mark), they should offer a stack of Garber Buck$ to Miami for Campana......

    To clarify the context of my Cavan comment was in regards to Gazdag.

    Seems a little older than what Tanner would be going for

    1804302621848801378 is not a valid tweet id


    A good thread to read through. The common complaint from some of the fanbase is that ownership doesn't spend enough, they need to spend more. When people are saying this, do they mean spend more on player salaries, or spend more on transfer fes? Also.... have any of these fans actually visited MLS's roster rules page and/or the MLSPA's salary guide?

    https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/ne...AL-RICHARD-ODADA-FROM-PHILADELPHIA-UNION.html

    Richard Odada (whose loan to Aalborg [Denmark] concluded in June) has been officially transferred to Dundee United in Scottish Premiership. No transfer fee disclosed; however, he was set to be a free agent at the end of 2024, so the fee was likely low. Union players still on loan include Joaquin Torres, Brandan Craig, Matt Real and Nelson Pierre. Based on the Union track record with loan players, the chances to see any of them play for the Union again are small - Craig seems the only possible one.

    Takes like this drive me nuts. The Union's starting DM is Jose Martinez. Who's considered one of the best, if not the best DM's in MLS. Was a best 11 pick at the recent Copa America. His backups are Leon Flach and Jesus Bueno. Flach is an elite defensive midfielder in MLS. Bueno earned his spot by beating out Perera with his play.

    Who exactly was Odada going to get playing time over?

    It sucks, yet at the same time in order to bring in new players..... players have to be moved on from/leave. There are 18-20 roster spots that are On Budget. That's it. The other 10-12 roster spots are off budget.

    From MLS' 2024 Roster rules:

    Senior Roster
    Up to 20 players, occupying roster slots 1-20, count against the club's 2024 Salary Budget of $5,470,000 and are referred to collectively as the club's Senior Roster.

    • Clubs are not required to fill roster slots 19 and 20, and clubs may spread their entire Salary Budget across 18 Senior Roster Players. A minimum Salary Budget Charge will be imputed against a club's Salary Budget for each unfilled Senior Roster slot below 18.
    • A club may have no more than 20 players on its Senior Roster, subject to the Season-Ending Injury, Injured List, and Loan exceptions.
    • The Maximum Salary Budget Charge for a single player is $683,750. (See Allocation Money section below for details on buying down a player's Salary Budget Charge.)
    Supplemental Roster
    The salaries of players on the Supplemental Roster (slots 21-30) do not count toward a club's Salary Budget.

    A club may have no more than ten players on its Supplemental Roster, subject to the Season-Ending Injury, Injured List, and Loan exceptions. All Generation adidas players are Supplemental Roster players during the initial guaranteed term of their contract.

    Slots 21-24:

    • Slots 21-24 may be filled with (i) Senior Minimum Salary Players ($89,716), which may include Homegrown Players, (ii) Generation adidas Players, (iii) any specifically designated players eligible for the MLS SuperDraft; or (iv) Homegrown Players earning more than the Senior Minimum Salary subject to the Homegrown Player Subsidy.
    • All players in slots 21-24 must be paid a base salary that is at least the Senior Minimum Salary ($89,716).
    Slots 25-30:

    • Slots 25-30 may be filled with (i) players earning the Reserve Minimum Salary ($71,401), which may include Homegrown Players, (ii) Homegrown Players earning more than the Reserve Minimum Salary subject to the Homegrown Player Subsidy, or (iii) Generation adidas Players (earning the Reserve Minimum Salary).
    • Reserve Minimum Salary Players must be 24 years or younger during the League Year (age of player is determined by year - not date - of birth).
    • These slots may not be filled with Senior Minimum Salary Players (unless they are Homegrown Players subject to the Homegrown Player Subsidy).
    • All players in slots 25-30 must be paid a base salary that is at least the Reserve Minimum Salary ($71,401).
    Homegrown Player Subsidy
    • Homegrown Player(s) in Supplemental Roster slots 21-30 may earn in aggregate each year up to $125,000 above the Reserve Minimum Salary (if occupying slots 25-30) or Senior Minimum Salary (if occupying slots 21-24).
    • Clubs may use up to $200,000 of their currently available Targeted Allocation Money or General Allocation Money to sign new Homegrown Players to their first MLS contract, subject to League review and approval. Targeted Allocation Money cannot be used on a Homegrown Player previously signed to MLS.

    A "Whatever happened to Carlos Vela" thread popped up on reddit and I wouldn't mind picking him up on a half season pro rated so not a dp somehow deal if Ernst doesn't already have something cooking in the Moldovan Super Liga or some sh!t.
