Its Felipe and Top Allocation Spot for Oyongo and Alexander. Oh and don't forget the garber bucks.

 

Fucking shit move. Watch us not use the spot too.

 

SUPER EDIT: Deal now also includes an international slot for Montreal, wonderful!

Alexander. Fuck.


Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?

Felipe, top allocation spot -> RBNY

Yep, Alexander and Oyongo.  Makes some sense because Alexander hasn't been in any pictures from camp. Usually the dude is right next to Dax.

 

Top spot in the allocation order has to be for someone like Kljestan who would then take Alexander's spot.   We'll have a very strong spine of the team.  Kind of annoyed we had to send any allocation money the other way but hopefully it's just a small number.

 

 

I am hoping we secured any sale percentage for Oyongo because it's clear the dude is gone soon.

Of course, if they had done this 2 weeks ago though could have had Jozy, in theory, but, that wasn't going to happen. But anyway.

 

Yeah- assuming you aren't completely retarded- you only trade for the top spot in the allocation order if you have a guy "all but signed" and ready to go. To trade for it just "hoping" that someone good comes through it is a waste. It better fking be that we've got a deal done, and this was just part of the (mike & the) mechanics of the deal.

Jozy wouldn't have fit.

 

But yeah, no targets at all that we've heard of. Such a shit move.

What a fucking awful move.

You have to view it in terms of what they get back, and we don't know what allocation money was sent.

 

So, if it is $ 150k in allocation money and they sign Agudelo, it's a waste. If it is $ 50k and they sign (I don't know) Alejandro Bedoya, then maybe it's a good deal. Way too early to tell.

Again, this is a trade I would have done as I said before.  Never been a fan of Alexander and I think Oyongo is a goner soon either way.

 

 

Need a winger, but that's fine in my opinion.

 

Still need a centerback big time but there is nothing to indicate that they're looking at getting one.

Well the only way getting rid of Alexander makes sense to me is if we get Kljestan. This trade will be a positive for us if we use that top allocation spot for something.

Losing Oyongo hurts and we definitely need to bring a winger in and some left sided depth for sure.

I really do like Felipe and that we do have a true starting attacking midfielder type with Luyindula behind him on the depth chart.

A Dax/Felipe/Kljestan midfield is pretty good IMO. Still definitely need a winger.

I know he wasn't a great fit, but, just saying hypothetically, and also, sentimentally, he's our boy. Will hurt to seem him scoring against us. Plus, Jozy could be in the league for 9 more years, BWP could be gone in 2. Saying we can't have Jozy because our lineup only fits a 4-5-1, might look silly in hindsight. (or might not, who knows).

If the allocation thing is true, we need to work fast.  Window is almost shut

Maybe we could try to pick up Bedoya/Johnson (they probably won't come though) and instead stick Davis or somebody in the midfield posistion. Might be stronger overall. 

 

We've also gone from 1 CAM to 3 CAM now this off season. What's going to happen to Stolz or Luyindula now?
