| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am a stuffed- Sam Staskell, uh, joined as always by Paul |
| 0:23.3 | Tenorio. Paul, the allergies are killing me this morning and I'm going to toss this thing to you here |
| 0:28.2 | in a moment. But first, I wanted to give a quick rundown. We've got a good show today. We're talking |
| 0:33.6 | on a Friday morning instead of a Thursday night and I'm glad we waited because we have the Brendan Aronson transfer for the Philadelphia Union to Salzburg has become official. We're |
| 0:43.3 | going to talk about some stuff going on in Orlando and some fun, best, worst things around MLS. And I'm |
| 0:49.4 | getting get out of the way because I can't stand the sound of my own voice. So I can't even |
| 0:53.8 | imagine what it's like |
| 0:54.7 | to listen to in a podcast right now with all this congestion going on. So please, Paul, save us all. |
| 0:59.7 | All right, Sam. Happy to step in here to the hosting duties. And we're going to start with |

| 1:19.1 | Jonathan Tannenwald, the Philadelphia Inquirer. Brennan-Erensen is being sold for $6 million |
| 1:25.3 | with incentives that can take that number up to $9 million |
| 1:29.0 | and a 10 to 20% sell-on fee for Brendan Aronson to Red Bull Salisburg. So this isn't, this isn't |
| 1:39.0 | joke money. This is real money going for Brendan Aronson. It's a substantial return on |
| 1:43.2 | investment for the Philadelphia |
| 1:44.4 | Union. I think certainly it shows how serious Red Bull Salzberg is about Brendan Aronson's |
| 1:50.8 | talent and the amount of money or amount of interest, rather, that was out there for Brendan |
| 1:56.0 | Aronson on the transfer market. But certainly the Philadelphia Union have a proof of concept here, right? |
| 2:03.4 | They've invested heavily in their academy. |
| 2:06.1 | They've produced a number of homegrown players who are contributing to the first team. |
