Came across something interesting with his transfer and it brought up some more issues with the MLS and its cap rules.

quote:

Spurs will pay MLS a $4 million transfer fee, according to ESPN's Taylor Twellman, 75 percent of which will go to the Sounders because of Yedlin's status of a homegrown player.


Which is great to reward the Sounders but they really can't do anything with the money roster wise. They have their DP's and are maxed out at the cap.

I know people say the cap is good for the sustained growth but with the development of American players at home getting better and the increase in transfer fees. Clubs in the future will have this extra cash and won't be able to use it to improve their roster until the cap is raised big time or done away with.

I'm pretty sure the new collective bargaining agreement will substantially raise the salary cap.

Doesn't that count as allocation money?

ETA: Apparently just $650k

I mean, they could spend it on youth development, or even more craft beer taps for gameday
