Philadelphia Union was able to sign Orozco thanks to a deal with Red Bull New York, in which Philadelphia sent allocation money to NY in exchange for the Red Bulls’ top spot in the Major League Soccer allocation order.
WHAT THE FUCK? |

QUOTE RED BULL AQCUIRE ALLOCATION MONEY FROM UNION By Red Bulls Reader The club announced today that it has acquired allocation money from the Philadelphia Union. In return, the Red Bulls switched places with Philadelphia in the MLS allocation order, as New York moved from first to sixth. I guess after they use the pick we move up to 5th, but Jesus Christ we are stupid. |

Apropos of everything, Bill Simmons today wrote an article on the cruelty of sports, featuring certain franchises. He doesn't really care about MLS, but I'm pretty sure we'd qualify for one of the top-five spots.
Anyway, gonna be interesting to see how this works out. Maybe we needed the allocation money (how much could they have left after sending a bunch to Dallas for their pick, btw?) to sign Henry. But if we're signing Henry... don't we need an allocation as well? And if we need an allocation... doesn't that mean we'd have to trade something of value to move back up the list? My only consolation is that San Jose (now at the top of the allocation list) are as stupid as we are. However, the teams behind them (KC, Dallas, DC) aren't. Rooting for this team is fucking brutal. -------------------- It's fucking brilliant. I was reading it to the boys and we were rolling on the floor laughing. I don't know how you get it right every week. -- Des McAleenan on The View From 101

This is why this is idiotic: the price has been set and repeated, McBride and Perkins, same exact deals. Player + #1 pick + cash. No seriously, this better be A LOT of cash.
And if you see Bocanegra, Beasley, or -- god forbid! -- Jozy come back to MLS later this year... Well... well. -------------------- MetroFanatic.com. Metro Forever.

I bet Agoos pulled this one while the rest of the management staff is in Spain.
Damn! |

Doesn't this basically increase our salary cap?
Again, we trade down in the list, not completely out. I kind of see recent moves as a way to increase our ability to spend / increase cap. Whether it's a good strategy, I don't know. -------------------- As far as Carlisle go, I'm sure most of our fans and especially management would LOVE to have a SG with the enthusiasm ESC shows. There's been a group trying to start something similar in Carlisle this season but they aren't even remotely close to the ESC. - Harraby Lad

Guess Soler couldn't wait for a returning national team player. Which could means Soler needs the cash now for aquiring experienced Euro players. Hope it's the bank he got.
Soler sounds like a man with a plan. We shall see. |
