Conservative estimate of next years salary cap: $4.5 million
Portion of $1.4 million in additional cap space which will go to current Crew Players: $400,000
Remaining cap space: $1 million+approximately $3-400,000 Crew not currently using
Taking into account historical trends in Major League Soccer, what will be the most efficient, re: successful, way to use the new cap dollars?
First, protect from the expansion draft:
Higuain
Clark
Parkhurst
Francis
Pogatetz (if fits with team)
Tchani
Anor
Jimenez
Finlay
Meram
Williams (if healthy, otherwise Gehrig)
Increase the salaries of Justin Meram, Ethan Finlay, Bernardo Anor, Tony Tchani, Eric Gehrig and Hector Jimenez. These bumps in pay should account for the majority of the $400,000 number above.
Spend $6-700,000 of the remaining $1.3-$1.4 million on a mid-twenty-year-old, proven striker.
Spend $6-700,000 of the remaining $1.3-$1.4 million on a mid-twenty-year-old, proven central-mid.
Win MLS Cup!
