I almost fell out my chair when I heard him say about one or two mroe players coming in "during th next few days". That must mean that things are pretty advanced, ie beyond the "looking at them" stage and into finalising paperwork. We've seen things fall apart before at this kind of stage, but it sounds pretty promising, and explains why we released as many players as we did recently.

You'd have to think one is a winger to replace Smith and RR, no?

He finishes the interview with a trademark statement:

"To be honest" :D

What a guy! :p

So maybe there's some truth to releasing Vitti, if they need the cash....

Mr. Faceplant makes his triumphant return.

I was thinking about that. Don't we only have 1 roster spot left?

I wouldn't be bothered replacing either of those two - we don't need another player like Rohann Smicketts.

If Vitti is gone..then we'd have 3 spots...Sutton, Ricketts, and Vitti...

I’ve heard, admittedly this is friend of a friend kind of stuff, that a couple of the players TFC had on trial in the pre-season are coming back for another look - McGlinchey in particular.

Two. We had one before we released Sutton, who was replaced by Garcia, then we dropped Rohan and Johann before signing Gerba.

i thought there were 1 senior, 1 DEV. so maybe a kiddie comes in for depth and gets the DEV spot and a decent senior is signed.

Well Jo-smith was released as well so that would make 4 spots (if vitti was sent back) but Garcia and Gerba are on our roster replacing them. So 2 open spots if Vitti was shipped back, which I hope he isn't

Problem being, I'm pretty darn certain one of those two spots is a dev spot. But, who knows? Maybe they have an agreement with one of the gambians to drop to dev when they find someone to sign...

I'm thinking the only reason Vitti gets dropped is if we need the cap space for whoever we are bringing in, although I'll be rather disappointed if it's Vitti for another winger who might or might not be good. At least Vitti is a known variable for us.

It depends, the site lists Gomez as a Senior player, but he can also be a developmental player at his age and salary?

This is pretty exciting stuff.

Exciting because we have one spot left and if CC's talking about another couple players, we'd have to let someone go. How about...

EDIT: Or if not, him, how about we return...

If I'm honest with ya, I think the S in S/DI refers to senior, as in senior developmental contract, like Gala, just above Gomez...after all Gomez's base salary is 20,100...senior developmental level, right?

They've changed that recently. For the longest time he was SI, not S/DI. Looks like we might have two senior spots open then.

According to a guy I play an online game with (random source I know) a buddy of his was on trial here recently. he didn't give me a name, just said he's a striker and that he's not a big deal. Has previously had a trial at Leeds. He's Australian, but lived in England (went to primary school with the guy I know, in England). He also said that the guy doesn't know if he made the cut yet.

i'm not too excited but I figured I'd pass it on in case anyone knows anything more about triallists that have been in?

The “source” who told me McGlinchey was coming in, told me that TFC was interested in two Dutch strikers, Kevin Bobson and Iwan Redan, as plan Bs if the Gerba deal didn’t go through.

Still looking to find the Aussie

But do we need more strikers now? unless Vitti is leaving.

I was talking to King Dave at a bar where we both had beverages and he hinted that we might be getting the urge to go.....or was that a new player...why do I have 2 RPB flags when I only bought one, and why is it you can not join the Red Patch Boys even after emails, promises, trying to suc...never mind..you got the picture. I think King D. is going to play inside the left goalpost with 12 flags...wait, he can not go any where tomorrow, he has to picket. Nice porta potties in front of the LCBO stores eh...

Lol, this pair don't seem all that useful, especially if Bobson signed for some club in Luxembourg, in the second division no less.

Yeah, they’re both on the way down, but like I “said” I was told they were plan Bs if the Gerba deal didn’t close.
