Speaking to GNA Sports in an interview in Accra, Chris Nathaniel, Chief Executive Officer of the company said his team hopes to firm up ties between a Ghanaian football Club with a Major League Soccer outfit, the elite division of American football.

word on the street is that the MLS club mentioned is in fact TFC.

Bolton are ready to hijack West Brom’s move for New York Red Bulls’ USA defender Tim Ream and sign him next month as a replacement for Gary Cahill.

Ream was due at the Hawthorns on loan, but is on trial at Bolton, instead. With Cahill almost certain to leave in January, Bolton are weighing up a £3million bid for the 24-year old.

This shows that there is an active market for MLS players in English football. Can Frei be far behind, especially given his passport?

frei may deservedly end up in the epl and we should get a good fee for him to help keep building our team---if it happens we will miss him but cannot hold him back so i for one will wish him all the best

Interesting quote from Winter:


"In the midfield and the front, we have a lot of players but in the back, if someone is unavailable than I have problems. That's the thing I want to tackle. Having good players in each position allows there to be competition and get those results. That's what I want."After all of the worry yesterday that they weren't going to address the back, we see some clarity. He's being very nice about it (he's not saying that the current players are crap), but he's clearly planning to do something about it. He also thinks that he doesn't have "good players in each position."

No I wouldn't say that. Frei is a keeper, a position where most teams have a lot of depth and only one is ever going to play. Ream is CB, and almost every team is world football is looking for cb.

Sorry this is a bit off-topic but how exactly did Nicholas Lindsay injure himself? Paul Mariner seemed as if he was upset at Lindsay's actions in his interview the other day, and I can't find anything telling me the reason/cause of injury.

I believe it was a snowmobile accident last Winter.

I've read both a snowmobile accident and/or slipped on ice at home...

Looks right up our street. He's connected with Ajax, played for PSV and he's listed as midfielder and striker.

Please tell me "word on the street" means something other than Canary10's misconstruing of the MLS Insider page yesterday...and if so, what?

Good luck to Mike Toshack
He was a good keeper coach.
Brought Frei and Kocic a long way.
Good luck with the Timbers, except when your facing the mighty RED's...

In the fall of 2008, Stewart Neely and wife looked at our house in Oakville, prior to us moving out to Cambridge.

When we spoke, he said he was coming to TFC as an assistant keeper coach. We had a good chat, as I mentioned being in RPB and being a SSH.

This was a job offered to him by Mojo at the time

Somehow, it never transpired at the time. Something about needing wife to get work permit as well.. (probably and assistant keeper coach wasn't going to earn all that much) and they were never able to do it, or decided against coming because she couldn't get one.

It's kind of strange that now, three years later he finds his way here, when we have a completely different management / coaching staff.
