The rumour has surfaced, and may simply be some pundits bright idea, but the rumour supposes that a 3-way trade between TFC, Chicago and LA could resolve the McBride impasse.
They would have Carlos Ruiz come to TFC, the rights to Brian McBride going to LAG, who could then trade the rights to McBride to Chicago for Wilman Conde.
This makes alot of sense for all involved...LAG need backline help, Chicago gets McBride and we get a proven goalscorer.
Now, I hate Carlos Ruiz as much as the next guy, probably more.
The question is could you cheer for Ruiz if he played for TFC? What if he starts flopping like a fish out of water on the BMO pitch?
I really think he could score alot of goals with our midfield feeding him crosses, and especially working with Amado Guevara up the middle, barring any personality clash between the two.
I don't really care to discuss the validity of the rumour, I just want to know what you would think if we ended up with someone like the Little Fish.
