Impact Thread : Goodbye Ale-Alejandro Edition

[Adam Michaels]

So we knew Urruti was coming and that Crépeau was leaving. We finally got the official announcements.

Martineau a few days ago also said IMFC traded Petrasso. So we'll see if that is true and what the deal is.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Just to put things in perspective, Urruti scored most of his goals in the first 2 months of the season. From the month of June to the end of the season, he scored twice. He has a history of disappearing for months. But he is what he is and will help our offense. He is just not THE guy and I hope they're looking to add more firepower.

“FC Dallas will also get 50 percent of any transfer value on Maxi outside of MLS before the first game of the 2019 season with additional future considerations beyond that."


Edit: Woops, Adam beat me to it.

JP to freak out about 1st round pick in 3...2...1

We still got a 3rd rnd pick for Crepeau so we can draft the next Krolicki

How many intl players we have assuming Cabrera is leaving?

[Adam Michaels]

Nothing more for IMFC today.

How many intl players we have assuming Cabrera is leaving?

8, if we keep Vargas.

 

[Adam Michaels]

8, if we keep Vargas.

And if I'm not mistaken, every team starts with 8 international spots every season.

We'll have to acquire 2 spots for Balotelli and Rabiot

Fair to say Vargas is probably leaving.

Still have to assume Sagna and Fanni are staying. So we’re at 9.

I feel we’re done for the off-season

True, forgot about them. And they better not be done.

I don't think they're done. But I think like there will be more selling this off-season than acquiring. I feel like there will be less of a turnover from last year's roster and that should help with the consistency from one season to the next. They did the heavy lifting last off-season.

The Urruti pickup is a good one, underrated and will help a lot.

 

[Skip Bayless]

 

[JunglePete]

It made sense to give Urruti the DP tag. Shows that he is the guy in the eyes of the FO.

 

[Luigi Habs]

And Joey didn’t want to pay Briand non-DP money?

Why?

 

[Skip Bayless]

And Joey didn’t want to pay Briand non-DP money?

Why?

With the package, Briand would've been over 1.5M which is the limit to which players salaries can be brought down with TAM, it would've made Briand DP. At 1.1M, Urruti can remain a TAM player.

 

[Skip Bayless]

It's possible Urruti leaves even before the end of the season. I don't think Rémi is done with his shopping.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[JunglePete]

And Joey didn’t want to pay Briand non-DP money?

Why?

Because at the time, Joey didn't pay Sagna 500k for 10 games so he had space.

If Urruti stays and not used for a potential trade in near future for Alesssandrini for instance, I don't see the need to go after another high caliber CF unless they'll go for 442, we need midfielders.

He is very streaky at times, which can be good or bad depending when he decides to show up.
