T ... value of $605,000, contract expires in June.
T ... value of $1.1 million, contract expires in June.


Why pay transfer fees for players who would be available on a free transfer in June?

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

especially when the transfer fee counts against the salary cap number.  now the the transfer window ends June 1, you can probably let guys finish the season and grab them just before the primary window ends for nothing.

 

Only reason to pay is if you think competition for player will go up if you let contract expire

You wouldn't, I was just including the data point.

Also, contract expiration dates for players in Azerbaijan might not be entirely accurate.

The bargaining stage of the offseason. Please sign 1 DP that costs some actual money

For Red Bull its more of a question of why spend money at all?

Kaku was signed in the winter 2018 window. If this one ends without a big splash DP signing it will be the sixth window in a row in which this team hasn't signed anyone big to bolster the attack.

I don't expect them to break the bank every year, but enough is enough with the bullshit about having 'targets in mind' and 'finding the right fit'.

Emelec's Joao Rojas is heading to our neighbors at Yankee Stadium. I've always liked a lot of Emelec's kit designs over the years.

Kaku with another goal yesterday. Taxi scored one today with Murillo (and Miazga, but not included for the point I want to make) also starting. Adams had a phenomenal game yesterday as well.

4 players that left recently that in the past 24 hrs had solid matches and we haven't seen anything close brought in to replace them.

If you really want to feel bad, between those 4 players, we received a grand total of ~5.1 million.


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

Not to deter from the point, which is extremely true and sad, but there are basically no numbers Kaku could put up in Saudi Arabia that would register for me. Pretty sure Barlow would be an elite striker in that league.

Or if you want them to have a pre season with the team and not just throw away the first half of the season.

As long as we make the playoffs. And then when we get bounced off after having two leads or after getting out shot we can just say "we were close but if the ball bounced one way we would have won"

for the type of player everyone is waiting for my statement doesnt apply.  Real DPs already have a set budget charge so the transfer fee or not doesnt matter as long as you can afford it.  Even for U22 guys their is no rule incentive to wait.

 

But lets say we are paying Harper $150k per year and Celtic want a $500k fee, i'd rather him just come in June.
