OT: IMFC Thread

[Dominator13]

Thanks buddy. The rules in this damn league are so complicated that I often get lost!

I'm fairly certain he's wrong though. Alexander in Houston was a DP for a while because of his transfer fee IIRC.

I think it depends what moneys and clauses are put into the transfer.

 

[Paul Dipietro]

Isn't there a rule somewhere that says that the player's salary is supposed to be around 10% of the transfer fee? If so I guess that would make him a young DP

Tomorrow night, IMFC play their second preseason game against Chicago Fire. The game will be broadcast of IMFC's official website again.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Hopefully it'll be on a better pitch .

They're playing at IMG Academy. This is an overview of their various fields. In this image, the one with the most seats is the football field, which would still be an upgrade over LV.

I thought they'd be playing at Al lang stadium, which ia good pitch. That'll have to wait till the invitational starts, Saturday.

But I think then they could still buy down his salary with GAM. Probably better to keep him as a young DP, he'd be the only one we have, unless Vargas is. I think we can have two.

And even if we can't, I'm sure there's an obscure MLS rule out there we can exploit to make it happen. Otherwise yeah throw Monopoly money to make it go away

Yea, they're playing there on Saturday against Tampa Bay Rowdies and next Saturday (the 24th) against NYCFC.

I believe we had some sort of problem when we bought Cabrera for 1.5M$ a few years ago. But I can't remember how it went

My frozen, snowed up backyard is better than what they were playing on in Vegas so it can only go up from there.

We slept on Taider being on loan ; The Montreal Impact announced on Monday the acquisition of French midfielder and Algerian international Saphir Taïder as a Designated Player, following a three-year deal, including a two-year loan from Italian club Bologna FC 1909, and an option for 2021.

my question is as Joey owns both team, what's the point of loaning every single player? Scrubs like Mancosu, Boldor I get it but him and Dzemaili? He's a DP too. There's no logic. To me it encourages them more to go back to Bologna when things go bad as they'll earn the exact same salary but surrounded with better players. I mean there must be a valid reason why?


If Fofana is indeed coming here, Cabrera will be somewhere else by the end of the summer when Fisher is ready. Fisher - Fofana could be a killer duo.

To prevent the MLS from getting a share of the profits on a resale. This league is so centralized it isn't even funny.

I was watching NYCFC getting their ass kicked by Atletico San Luis, lol. NYCFC subbed in this long haired teenager, Justin Haak, and the crowd started chanting Cavani, Cavani, Cavani! And everytime he would touch the ball the stadium errupted, and then would die down as soon as he passed it, hilarious. They did that for the rest of the game. He didnt play to bad either.

 

[adudeonaforum]

He keeps his assets in both places... when you think about it, why wouldnt he do it this way?
It probably helps to bring players in too, the fact that like you say, if things go bad, it's easier to go back. The MLS is unknown territory for most soccer players. Maybe Taider or Dzemaili wouldnt have come here if not for a loan deal.

It does make sense but it's a bit idiotic. It's not like Dze and Taider have big market value. No teams will spend millions to get them, if they are on free then it's a different story. But it shows how greedy Saputo really is. Watch it if Taider leaves Mtl/Bologna or Dzemaili leaves Bologna it'll be on free.

You're probably correct but to me it screams half assed (if Dze only came here bc it was a loan), as obviously less than a year later he returned to Bologna. I'd rather get a Victor Vazquez that is 100% your player than a Dze who still has Bologna in his thoughts.

I don't know... it's not a that big of a deal but NYCFC fans would never tolerate having their stars players on loan from Man City

No, instead, they had to stomach having Lampard loaned to City

I hope the real Real Madrid steps up. If we get eliminated that soon in the competition, heads will roll. Perez will go super-loco.

Vazquez was at Cruz Azul (iirc) in Liga MX and not performing well before he came to Toronto. Very different situation than Dzemaili, who was the best player at Bologna, in Serie A.

One thing for sure, heads will roll on one side or the other after this round is over.

Probably because IMFC's operations can't afford to buy-out Taider. Might also be that Bologna pleaded to keep his rights if he is ever sold to anyone else since they were the one who bought him in the first place. As always, the MLS rules are also shady when it comes to buying players. I know in some cases the league can help to pay a player's clause, but I believe it's in the case of a North American who plays in a top league and wants to come back home.
