Thanks, if I read this correctly, this would save us a few bucks in GAM indeed. This is 6 months loan, and you'd better believe Metro will still be paying large part of Jorgey's salary. So, it's no where near 500K as Defend claimed. Don't know the exact number, but it cannot be that high. Like I said, saving a few bucks. Which is fine by me, just didn't want to lose Stroud over it.

 

very good chance its that high.

$170k international slot

- loan savings is anywhere from his salary to salary plus transfer fee.  Jorgy made 306,250.04 last year.  I was using expected values here but the "~" is also to approximate

- if Jorgy is sold at end of the loan the second half of the salary is off the books even if its a free transfer ~($150k)

- We bought him supposedly for $2.5mm so if we took a 80% hit on that its still ~$500k

- If they cover half his salary during the loan its another ~$75k

 

So its reasonably anywhere from $170k - $895k using what i think are pretty conservative assumptions.  He's still getting Danish youth team call ups so he's for sure valued there.  Personally I'd be stunned if we were covering all of his salary but gave them an option to buy as thats extremely unusual.

I wish this were true, I really do, but even according to RBS' MLS rules quote, "if the team the player is loaned to picks up any or all of the players wages, that is considered loan revenue." Whatever we bought him for years ago is irrelevant. Whatever Danish club paid for this 6 months loan, which I think is very little, is all we get. 50K maybe? 75? Certainly no where near 500K you claim.

 

As far as international slot, agreed this is nice, but wouldn't we get that too if he plays for RB II? And this is assuming Danish club couldn't wait a week.

Several people need to be fired for this transfer. We hardly ever spend $ on transfers and this was an absolute bomb. Not Vernon it didn't work out, but total and complete failure.

Veron had some good games that led to us winning the shield one season. Overall, he was probably a bust, but I think he deserves credit for being part of a Supporters Shield winning team.

This is some rarefied company.

 

I am SHOCKED that Derek Etienne isnt #1 on this list.

 

Completely SHOCKED!

I think Etienne was always listed as a midfielder. 

[magicmoron]

Wait are these players who NEVER scored, or just length of time between goals?

NEVER scored.

[Eleazar]

kinda thought that was obvious.

Completely SHOCKED!

His 463 minutes per goal doesn't leave him far off the pace of the guys on this list, including his 2017 record of 702 minutes without scoring.

Then why would Etienne be on it??

Someone was just being a wise ass, implying that people here don't give DE7 enough credit.

Three games down, 16 to go.  Hasn't made the bench once.

To be fair, he's injured.

My guess is we have another Abang situation. Loaning him to anywhere until his contract runs out.

Thanks for the info, I would have just assumed it's because he's a terrible soccer player.
 

[MetroFanatic]

He played! 23 minutes off the bench. Didn't score.
