So the transfer window closes tonight at midnight EST, and all hell is currently breaking loose.
DCU sends Bobby Boswell to Atlanta for a future 3rd round draft pick, Lamar Neagle back to Seattle for a 2018 4th round pick, imports their winger from Kaiserslautern using allocation money to pay the transfer fee, brings in an American d-mid from Hoffenheim after Gary Medel falls through, and then buys Paul Arriola off of Xolos de Tijuana for $3m plus $500k of allocation money to the Galaxy because they somehow had homegrown rights on him despite his playing the grand total of 11 games in their academy.
Carlos Vela to LAFC as of 1/1/18
Chicago gets defender Christian Dean from Vancouver for a varying sum of allocation money depending on appearance plus a chunk of any possible transfer fee.
Vancouver meanwhile gets Aaron Maund from RSL for a 2nd round 2018 draft pick.
Ethan Finley to Minnesota for a whole lot of allocation money. Columbus also imports their winger from Braga as a DP, while Minnesota loans out Rasmus Schuller to HJK Helsinki, wants to loan in a Tico MF, and are kicking the tires on Mathieu Flamini.
RNBY loans out Anatole Abang to Astra in Romania.
San Jose gets an international slot from Atlanta for $75K of allocation money.
Kristian Nemeth returns, but to New England, with Columbus getting $350K of allocation money, probably for their spot in the allocation rankings so New England can sign him.
Lyon is very interested in Yangel Herrera of NYCFC.
On the expansion front, Birmingham is officially in USL for 2019, and so in a shock is the return of the Austin Aztex. The guy who owns the F1 track down there bought the team and will build a trackside stadium.
Sporks and San Jose are 5 minutes away from penalties in their USOC SF match, and the Sporks win on PK's. They host the RBNY-FC Cincinnati winner.
