Miscellany [edit]

Allocation ranking [edit]

San Jose is in the #6 position in the MLS Allocation Ranking. The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the league after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club’s ranking.[16]

International roster slots [edit]

San Jose has 7 MLS International Roster Slots for use in the 2012 season. Each club in Major League Soccer is allocated 8 international roster spots. San Jose traded one slot to Toronto in July 2011 and acquired one slot from Sporting Kansas City in December 2011. Each of these trades expire on January 1, 2013. Also, San Jose had previously traded a slot to Toronto in July 2008 that returns on January 1, 2014.

Future draft pick trades [edit]

Future picks acquired: None.
Future picks traded: 2013 MLS SuperDraft conditional pick to New York Red Bulls.

MLS Rights to Other Players [edit]

San Jose maintains the MLS rights to Clarence Goodson after he declined a contract offer by the league and signed overseas with no transfer fee received. San Jose acquired Goodson's rights by drafting him in the 2007 MLS Expansion Draft.
