Toronto FC has signed defender Dan Gargan, a right back who has been with TFC this preseason.

that came out of nowhere. I figured he was out after he didn't come to Charleston.

Good enough to start and put Nana in at CB for you-know-who?

Really Surprised by this move, but considering this off-season, nothing should really be a surprise anymore

In other news, Toronto's MLS team will from now on be called "Toronto Rapids" while Colorado's team will go by the name "Colorado FC"... :confused:

Woah, that was a shock :D

Good stuff, at least we have some defensive cover now!

did Mo finally find his battery charger for his blackberry? How many moves (not complaining) can he make in a 2 day span.

So ... interviews up on the TFC website, looks like we signed Coway too, not keeping him as the pool keeper.

Pfft. Conway signing is old news now! :D It happened three hours ago, come on, try to keep up! :D

I don't know too much about Gargan, all I can really go on is that he played a lot in the early pre-season which shows Preki thinks he's a useful player. He's also not likely to cost much.

Speaking about the team generally, in a way it's very scary to know and see our beloved players gone, especially how nearly every one of them we believe had something to offer. The players coming in aren't as big names. Part because we don't know them (so they don't seem like big names) and the other because they actually aren't big names.

But also it's encouraging because we know TFC needed an attitude adjustment and the team is morphing into a no-name squad like that Preki had at Chivas which performed very well.

So what's the scoop on Gargan? did he impress in the pre-season? the only game I watched of the preseason he was already gone.

he scored a goal, had a few good crosses (assists). Was able to play a few positions, which makes him valuable.

Shaughno

He scored our first preseason goal I'm pretty sure and yeah, I think he impressed.

Did anyone see that!?!??!?

Ives posted "Toronto FC sign Kayizzi, Said, Andrade and Raul from Real Madrid! more to come" on twitter, then deleted it...

/Sarcasm :D

In reality, I'm happy about a lot of our signings, especially LaBrocca, but so far so good. We just gotta see um play.

i wonder if this is related to the Cann non-signing.... Cann asks for too much bread, they say no, then turn around and call up Gargan.. hmmmmm. Cuz Gargan was off the radar there until Cann's chance was done.

I would have definitely at least had a look at him. Just saw this though..



On February 5, 2010 Carolina re-signed Richardson to a one-year deal with a club option for 2011

yeah, we are a no name squad with a few names thrown in there (who also happen to be home town boys), i wont lie, i like the shape this team is taking, maybe my most depressing off season thread was too soon...

nah ;)

he was pretty decent on the field and held down both the rw and rb, contributed on the regular

I wonder if Gargan was already in the plans and maybe they were hoping to fit Cann in too, i wonder if Cann will have a change of heart after he finds that he cant get that money anywhere else...

I would think very few of the guys we trialled were "off the radar", we just weren't in a position to know what combination of guys would sign for what money under what cap limits...

LOL rocket shot, but terrible mistake from the keeper. Get your body behind the ball mate!!!

I think the early deflection left him on the wrong foot. Still, he overplayed the ball at first and paid for it.

Don't think the average MLS keeper would be caught dead missing that one, ahah.

Well the good shot from distance was good but there was no way that should have gone in.

It might be a good idea for the PA announcer to say both first and last names for the first few games.
We have some learnin' to do!

I'm in favour of any signing that pushes Garcia closer to the bench...

preki seems to deal with goalscoring the same way that nfl teams deal with receptions.. just put someone out there and have faith that it'll happen.

There has to be a quarterback to send him the pass, thats the problem......

it looks like right now we're sorting out the offensive line, which is good. but i foresee a whole bunch of 0-0 games.
