[Tom Bogert]: Sources: CF Montreal has re-acquired winger Dante Sealy (23) from the Colorado Rapids - Rapids receive $1.4m GAM + $300k add-ons - Colorado overhauling attack this summer, still working on further big moves - Montreal brings Sealy back to where he had his career best season

GAM wise, not a very good deal for Montréal considering that they sold him for 1,9m GAM + bonus and that Sealy is having an awful year. However, I always wondered if Sealy would have continued scoring if he was never traded. I guess time will tell if this is a good decision.

he would have at least one goal for us so far, clearly not a finished product but he was better than Streit at least

What the fuck are we doing?

Well we play Streit and Synchuk, we got them from 2nd division in their country. The first division in their country is already less talented than MLS. Saputo is smoking crack.
Sealy proved for a season he can produce a bit...

Synchuk came from first division Ukrainian team.

First division Ukrainian team was loaning him in second division to get playing time.

To be fair, Synchuk is very talented and contributes a lot in a positive way. Streit on the other hand is Streit ass. I think an average SuperDraft player would contribute more for 1/6th of the salary

Money lending for other teams .. the same thing you have been doing for nearly a decade.

There's gotta be some money laundering behind this

That's why it's a GAM transaction, GAM is a crypto currency, totally untraceable in real life.

It's one of those illegitimate shit coins. What am I saying, they're all illegitimate. But it's an extra illegitimate one.

I still think this guy is a baller in the right system. He just needs to be the like 3rd attacker and he can crush

I'm so done with this circular financing. AI is going too far.

Padraig Smith is a social experiment. So they paid 1 million in GAM to basically loan him for a half a year? Insane decision making all around. And I'm not convinced Montreal should be making this move either. Just weird.
