The Chivas USA Farewell Tour Thread (2014 MLS Thread)

[Meacon Keaton]

More @USSoccer news on player transfer front: Michael Parkhurst will be in @MLS in 2014 and not with @NERevolution. #Trade #MLSCombine

So that could be the Revs trading his rights to a team higher up in the first-round of the draft. Maybe the Union for their 6th overall pick?

EDIT: Or the Crew for their 4th...

It's funny, 'cuz for a second you thought Philly may make a move.

[Toe]

Have the transfer rules been relaxed in MLS or something? How can Toronto suddenly splash £12m on players and pay their wages without destroying the wage cap?

I am pretty sure you can trade for designated player spots.

[Gazz]

I googled, seems they have three DP (snigger) spots.

Makes a bit of a mockery of the salary cap when 27% of your first team doesn't count towards it and one player makes more than some entire squads.

[Benjamin]

The MLS have a draft? That's pretty cool.

[Rich]

Is it?

[GoGo Yubari]

The MLS have a draft? That's pretty cool.

Yeah, for college soccer players wanting to go pro. It's getting less important now since most teams have academy systems in place but it'll still be a thing for at least the next few years.

About that...

[Lineker]

Marc Connolly is sahyder?

[GoGo Yubari]

Correct. Discuss.

I was just coming in here to say 'Fuck this Franchise'...

Our plan this season is to try not to play any defense, and see how that works out.

[Lineker]

Ah yes, the tried and tested Ian Holloway method.

[GoGo Yubari]

Apparently the Sounders are using their spot in the allocation order to get Marco Pappa. I'll take it!

[HailtotheYo]

NYRB are said to be after Ronald Vargas

[Szumi]

I can only support the Parke trade if it means Carlos Valdes is actually playing with the Union this season. Feel bad for Parke though - dude came here to finish his career in his hometown...and got traded after 1 decent year.

[HailtotheYo]

Yeah, there's a few people on both ends questioning that trade.
 
It's official:

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm expecting us to trade the #2 and #6 picks for a handful of those Duck Sauce packets you get with your Chinese food delivery.

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, uh, and about the Maurice Edu thing...

[Meacon Keaton]

Ok, so other people realize that no one in this front office knows what the fuck they're doing, yes?

[Szumi]

It is ridiculous for MLS to block the Edu trade because his salary is that high. Now with that said, I am so glad MLS is trying to block the move. Maurice Edu is an okay player, but nowhere near worth that salary. He is a greedy fuck for trying to get that kind of money, and the Union front office even dumber for actually agreeing to it! This club is so poorly mismanaged it is ridiculous.

[Pizza]

Why is it his fault for being offered a stupid amount of money? "No you idiots, only give me a quarter of that!"

[GoGo Yubari]

At this point the existence of Chivas USA is probably the one thing keeping the Union's FO from being the worst in MLS (though Montreal is also pretty bad, I think).
