Then again, Molinaro keeps calling Kevin Hatchi (who he insists is coming to Toronto tomorrow) "Kevin Hitachi," so who the fuck knows.

Good riddance to Jake Peterson, will dearly miss Gordon, but he was becoming a bit of a tampon -- in for three days, out for four weeks.

Peterson is gone! :flare:

Gordon played well when he was healthy, but we just had too many target strikers. So I am not mad he got traded.

Nana is a big loss who still has the potential to be very good defender in MLS.

Money (Allocation money I assume?) and International spot means maybe TFC has someone lined up to sign.

Ryan Johnson: I don't know too much about him. Time for me to do some research on him.

Nana has upside but obviously something was up this year besides just injury, I think the has only been in 5 or 6 matches.

Johnson is a pretty decent pickup.

Smells like it could be Hatchi, who's French. That would up the defender count and eat the international slot.

This trade is probably more about the money and the international spot.

Management hated Nana anyways.

Gordon was surplus with Koevermans arrival. Plus he is made of glass.

The real interesting thing to see is if they can find a CB.

Also, was Nana close to returning?

If Alan Gordon is healthy I agree.

Dealing injured Gordon, injured/jaded Nana, injured Peterson (none played more than 2 games lately) for one healthy player is more productive for the remainder of the season. If we get money and one more International spot, and if we fill that with another signing of Ecks quality player, I'll be thrilled.

I can dream...

I'd imagine they have something else in the works regarding a CB....the additional space + intl spot does open possibilities a bit.

If we get enough $$$, we can pay down the cap hit, sign a DP-quality defender, and have it all come in under the cap.

I wonder if we got enough money?

Jenkins12
07-14-2011, 12:53 PM
I think this is a decent trade, freeing up some cap space, adding a decent attacking threat and getting another international spot. It will only be a decent trade if we use the cap space wisely!

theres more to this trade than just this, CB is a must and surely the FO won't just ignore this..then again we are TFC

Id also venture we definitely have some more defenders on their way if we are currently making deals for more mids/forwards

i will honestly miss nana - and always saw him as an underappreciated asset.

peterson - thank goodness your gone.
gordon - too bad but if you rarely play it's no help.

Johnson? - i hope he has potential at mid to get us help where we need it most. simply replacing gordon makes him an option but doesn't solve the issues at outside mid or centre back.

interesting to see what else we got if this is the case.

Ok, so in essence, Attakora, Gordon, and Peterson have been dealt for Johnson and Dunfield, with the allocation acquired from San Jose being moved to Vancouver. Based on the fitness and overall impact of all players involved in today's transactions, I would suggest that TFC is a better squad today than it was yesterday.

Now Winter and Mariner can focus on solidifying the backline, with the glut of midfielders on the squad.

I like moving out Peterson. He was expensive for what he produced.

Gordon never really wanted to be here, although I got the feeling he was just starting to feel settled in. I am sure he will be happy going back to Cali though.

Johnson is the interesting name here. I think he's going to have impact. I do like this particular incoming player.

I am "meh" on Dunfield. With Tchani being underwhelming and JDG on his way out, I guess we will need his DM capabilities, but I am more interested in where this puts Frings. Are we going to play 2 in front of our backline in case we can't shore it up enough?

Short Molinaro story on Nana's move:


The Nana Attakora-Toronto FC saga has come to an end.
The Major League Soccer club has traded Attakora to the San Jose Earthquakes, the Canadian defender confirmed to CBCSports.ca on Thursday.
Attakora did not know the details of the deal, specifically who TFC will receive from San Jose in return for him.
A 22-year-old native of North York, Ont., the defender has been with the club since it entered MLS in 2007. He said he found out about the trade via text message by Sam Cronin, a former TFC teammate who now plays for San Jose.
Aron Winter, TFC’s head coach and technical director, then called Attakora minutes later to deliver the news.
"It’s exciting but it’s sad at the same time. I’ve spent my whole career here and it is my home city, so it’s disappointing, but I’m also happy for the change and the new challenge," Attakora said.

I agree with this. The players we dealt away would be spare parts on most teams. Except for Nana, it's unfortunate that his trade away was not because he wasn't useful, it's because they couldn't come to a contract agreement. That's business I guess. Still sucks.

He is inconsistent. Plays with fire, which we do need, but skill level is not very high. With the "system" we are supposed to be putting into place, I don't see how he won't struggle just as much as other players have.

Not surprised.

I commented on this when Mike Richards found out he was been traded to LA Kings from ESPN twitter feed.

Social media moves way faster than teams. Because of the need to one up every one, media outlets will report on a deal before it's apparently signed off on.

I've seen it happen with teams I've been involved with. Team informs agent that they're moving their player... need to waive some clause. Agent says it won't be a problem. Teams calls back other team and says it shouldn't be a problem. In the meantime people talk and news gets out that a deal is done. etc.

In a lot of cases, the player is the last guy to find out... In the past, this all would happen away from prying eyes... so the player would have no clue and the team would inform him.

I don't know why more and more people are surprised.

Toronto FC announced Thursday that they have acquired midfielder Terry Dunfield (http://www.torontofc.ca/player/terry-dunfield) from Vancouver Whitecaps FC in exchange for allocation money and future considerations.

"We are pleased to add Terry to our midfield, he is a passionate player and he will fit in well, " said Toronto FC Head Coach and Technical Director Aron Winter. "He has played well this season for Vancouver and we have seen first-hand what he is capable of."

Dunfield, 29, is a Canadian international midfielder that scored one goal and added three assists in 12 league games this season for Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Dunfield also scored one goal during the 2011 Nutrilite Canadian Championship in four starts. Dunfield has earned six international caps for Canada and scored his first international goal against Ecuador at BMO Field on June 1 of this year in an international friendly. Dunfield spent time with Manchester City in the club’s youth program before moves to Bury, Macclesfield Town, and Shrewsbury Town all in England. Dunfield joined Vancouver in 2010 while the team played in the USSF Division 2 Pro League.

Terry Dunfield
Position: Midfielder
Height: 5’7
Weight: 165
Birthdate: February 20, 1982
Birth Place/Hometown: Vancouver, British Columbia
Nationality: Canadian
Last Club: Vancouver Whitecaps FC
How Acquired: Acquired in trade with Vancouver on Thursday July 14, 2011
Pronunciation: “Dun-field”

I am not very upset about this and it's mostly because I am no longer surprised.

The truth is that to TFC, players come a distant second whereas other teams try very hard to make players feel part of the family. Mariner and Winter have been busy making movements all day I am sure it was not an intentional oversight, but I don't think it's meaningless either.

Actually, many teams do the players a favour and give them a heads up that a deal is in the works or pretty much done in order for these things not to happen. They don't need the ink to be dry in order to tell the player.

also his mls player page is down, this has been a sure sign historically that a player is being traded (it happened to Tchani and Borman when the Dero trade was pending)....

Terry Dunfield isn't valued very much over at Vancouver. There's gotta be more to this.

Allocation Money aside, Vancouver is salivating over Kevin Aleman from our academy, hoping the "future considerations" is his signing. Perhaps we have some trade value afterall.

Actually, many teams do the players a favour and give them a heads up that a deal is in the works or pretty much done in order for these things not to happen. They don't need the ink to be dry in order to tell the player.

Actually 99 times out of 100, a team will give a heads up to the player's agent first just in case a deal does fall apart.

I've never heard of a team giving a player a head's up that they were being traded unless said player requested a trade.

Was it Dunfield who was an absolute wreck (among others) in our game vs. Canada in the Gold Cup?

I hope he's at least good for club.

Yup, but he played great for Canada against Ecuador @ BMO Field just before the GC, and many of us remarked that Canada looked ineffective after he was subbed for JDG in the 2nd half.

In this age of social media, somebody from TFC should be a calling a traded player the second it happens, exactly so that this doesn't happen. It can be a flunky who says "Aron's busy, he'll call in a bit, but here's what's up".


Yeah, but first the flunkie is working on one of those, "Red Alert, Houston You've Got A Problem," headlines and is looking up other words for "earthquake..."

That I agree with.

But it's not always the case. Could be a case that the agent didn't need to be involved.

For example, if Nana had something like a no movement clause, then he would have likely known something before hand because the team would need permission from the player to be moved.

But again, point being is that social media moves a lot faster than a trade does. Like Pete says, a tweet moves faster than a phone call.

I am not very upset about this and it's mostly because I am no longer surprised.

The truth is that to TFC, players come a distant second whereas other teams try very hard to make players feel part of the family. Mariner and Winter have been busy making movements all day I am sure it was not an intentional oversight, but I don't think it's meaningless either.

It wasn't an oversight at all. As many others have said, someone on the other hand likely spilled it before it was even official. Not everything is a management conspiracy to treat Nana Attakora like crap.

I think this is disgraceful and another poor showing from Winter and co

it's the sports medias job to follow these stories 24/7, they always get there first.

winter and co were probably just in the midst of dealing with the fuckton of legal ramifications before mentioning it to nana. could you imagine him breaking it to him, only to find out that it wasnt a done deal?

Ryan Johnson:

2010 MLS: Appeared in 27 games and made 19 starts … Scored one goal and notched a career-high eight assists

2009 MLS: Appeared in all 30 games with 27 starts and scored 11 goals and notched two assists … Named team’s Offensive MVP

2008 MLS: Signed just prior to 2008 season with San Jose after one season in Sweden … Started 13 of the 28 games he appeared ... Scored five goals and notched one assist
---------------------------------------


Seems to have solid numbers. In a 4-3-3 he needs to have speed and be able to cross if he's to play LW.

I stated this point in the "trade value" thread about not looking so microscopically at trades but look at the big picture. I am not as negative about this particular trade as you are.

I don't think it's the 3 TFC players for Johnson as much as it is 3 roster spots and cap space moved and replaced with 1 capable starter.

The other shoe drops when the trading is done.

beg to differ, dont forget we got RJ + Allocation + international spot

Gordon is oft injured and getting older
Nana couldnt reach an agreement with management, therefore would have been a free agent after this season
Peterson was overpaid for what he did

I don't think it's an oversight or lack of class. The most important thing is Winter called him personally. Winter could have been tied up with other parts of these transactions and took 10 minutes later to call Nana.

If that same cash translates into Dunfield, then you need to look at the deal as a 3 for 2 + Int'l Spot.

I think at the end though, Winter's goal was to move some bodies out that he no longer wanted and to free up finances to do what he does want to do.

And you're dreaming if you think Peterson + cash is a good deal for San Jose, LOL. It better be a lot of cash.

You've got the dynamics backwards. This is about cap space. SJ probably had to take at least one of these guys, and the slot, to make the deal work.

Dunfield wasn't acquired to take penalty kicks for TFC, and he is far from useless as a defensive presence in the midfield.

There are two lasting memories of Dunfield this year. The screamer of a goal in the Canada game and that pathetic PK miss for the Whitecraps. He's no star, he's just an average player with good moments and bad. That's why I am "meh" on this one.
