Gressel gonzo. Family wanted to live back in the States so he's off to Columbus.
That's fine. I like the scouting report on Gam.

Makes no sense. Shoulda just held on to him and lost him for nothing at the end of the year. Caps must be struggling financially.

isn't GAM funny money that lets you lessen the cap hits, in other words allowing them to spend more real money? or was that just a pisstake that went over my head...

Yes, but I believe the GAM portion of the salary is also paid to the player by the league instead of the team.

General allocation money can be used in several ways:
  • Reduce the amount that a non-Designated Player costs against the salary cap down to the league minimum salary ($67,500 in 2018).
  • Reduce the amount that a Designated Player costs against the salary cap down to $150,000.
  • Sign players new to MLS.
  • Re-sign an existing MLS player.
  • Off-set acquisition cost (loan and transfer fees).
  • In connection with the extension of a player's contract for the second year provided the player was new to MLS in the immediately prior year.
  • Trade it to another team.
General allocation money must be used within 30 days of the close of the third full MLS transfer window after it was acquired. If a quantity of general allocation money is not used within that timeframe, it is halved by the league. That halved amount is then available for use during the next two transfer windows. If it is still not used after those transfer windows, the quantity is no longer available for use.

So got the win in Portlandia to start this epic 7 game road trip. 3 points out of 3rd with a game in hand on everyone...

Next match tonight vs Chicago, 5:30PM KO.

Please no squad rotation.

I'd rather they rotated tonight, and focused on Saturday against a tragic NYCFC team, and then Toronto in two weeks.... three out of four wins would be an outstanding start, and would keep the main guys a little fresher to see out the entirety of the trip...
