2019-2020 Transfer Market

I wonder how transfer fees affect the salary cap.

That's pretty good money. Wasn't really expecting transfer fees that high coming out of the 1st year.

I wonder if the number is in Canadian or American. Would be around $75,000 USD if its $100,000 CDN. Regardless that is a good chunk of the Cavalry's salary paid for already

I believe it's the 75k$ US  that Impact received last week from Colorado for the drafted RB

Isn't GAM and TAM just more salary cap room rather than actual money? One of the many questions that has led to the decline of my MLS viewing

Tommy, if they offer you TAM or GAM you are getting ripped off. Unless it's Tam Nsaliwa. Then think about it.

This is for the "Parrot" who was advocating so hard for USL over CPL. 

 

[narduch 1,566]

Like I always say, for whatever reason The USL is a dead end, especially for players.

I don't have an Athletic sub, but recently one of their writers took a deep dive into how not many players move up from USL to MLS. Which is  a total anomaly in soccer leagues.

I also saw on Twitter today that Didic is trialing with the Whitecaps.

Heard the club tea lady pushed hard for a trade of 100k valued Tim Tam.

Joel Waterman confirmed by Impact here:

Its not just the CPL that made this happen, the Voyageurs Cup played an important role too I would say.

Dead end or means to an end.

Would have preferred Waterman but would be intrigued by Didic at Caps. Granted opposition was poor but Didic did surprise me with his ability on the ball and passing. He will always be a great threat from set pieces and solid addition to any backline for height. He deserves an opportunity and it is a natural step up to test himself in MLS.

A huge deal for the league, especially with a pretty substantial fee at $100k. Hopefully this sets a standard for future

Beautiful..... this is exactly why we needed the CPL. Giving young Canadians a chance they would otherwise never have received. Hoping this is the first of many.

[Bison44 4,694]

So from CDN U sports, to Kitsap, to TSS rovers, to foothills to Cavalry to Impact.   What a feel good story.  I hope he gets some minutes in MLS.

On the positive side. At least of those 3 transfers.. one of them was Kaye.

[mtlsab 122]

Dylan Sacramento signed In Irish D2

Elliot Simons is supposed to sign in Slovakian D2

[Ansem 7,008]

Another one for the "parrot" who preached for USL 

USL sold 3 players in 12 years in comparison...

I don't know why this has to be a p!ssing contest. Certainly a great start for CPL though and long may it continue.

Does USL even give out many multi-year contracts? If they stay conservative with one year deals then transfer fees are pretty much off the table except for mid-season. And one year deals are perhaps the sensible option for clubs that are losing money. Valour certainly seemed to have no trouble prising Bustos away from OKC early mid-season and no transfer fee was mentioned.

 

Shows how faulty their business plan is

Remind me, were you the one that was very opposed to loans because your team is developing a player for a bigger team to profit from? I’m not saying one year deals aren’t the right thing in certain circumstances, but if am right in thinking it was you with the loan thing, that mentality doesn’t seem to square with your post above. Unless I am missing some nuance?

Apologies if I’ve got you confused with someone else.

So if Waterman was 100k, how much for Borges? Fee also depends on contract length I suppose. Possible we could be close to 500k in player sales from those 5 players. 

[toontownman 2,062]

It is telling that Borges is still with CPL.

That could certainly be as much about waiting for his preferred destination or even forge waiting for a decent offer  but agree in general. It's a positive start for the league.

If as many as those 5 names move up somewhere that's a big win, even if it means losing some of the leagues best players. Chances for others to step up. We will see how deep our talent pool really lies.

Yes, I am indeed opposed to loans for the reasons you mention. I'm not sure I understand why you think this "doesn't square" with my post above though. Can you explain?

My thinking was that a loan is similar to a one year contract in that at the end of the season you don’t have the player anymore, and you can’t get a transfer fee for them. With a loan there is a chance that the loaning team is paying a portion of the salary, so it seems it would make even more sense for a cash strapped team, whether it be in the USL, CPL, or anywhere in the world.
