Clearly, Beckham is intrigued with the notion of expanding his global reach into the comfy, climate-controlled confines of the Rogers Centre.

The Crux of the above article. Treat it accordingly.

Some real nuggets there, thanks:

(1) Dicoy is re-signed
(2) Training camp begins January 16.

So he's been re-signed for 2012?

Looks like Winter is expecting him and Cann to be the number 1 pairing. Will be a crash and bang kind of central defence then. We still don't have anyone really good on the ball back there, which is a real gap. Wouldn't be surprised to see Frings pulled back into it from time to time to offer some passing out of the back. Or at the very least he'll likely play as a deeper midfielder.

Well his salary is pretty managable at $60k but he does take up an international spot. I liked what I saw of him last year as well.

I imagine if Cann has truly rehabed and back to fitness we'll see Cann/Harden to start the season and ultimately see Williams fighting for the #2 spot around April/May. (Assuming we don't bring in anyone else at CB).

The real wildcard this year could be Henry. Man I hope that the success that Stinson and Morgan had this year really fired him up and got him motivated to work super hard over the last couple months.

Hard to say - Williams was on 50k last year which is less than Harden and Iro (and looked a much better option than either). Might be hedging his bets here. Lining things up in case not better options, but cut one of the three above loose if a better option arrives.

Cann and Williams are better options than we had last year for sure, but still not the right pieces of the puzzle in my opinion. We still need someone who is comfortable on the ball. They're hard to find though.

Cann and Williams are not the answers we should be satisfied with. I'll bet you that both are going to get re-injured, and then we are screwed once again...

The Jamaican national team seems to think he's quality because he started in the last Gold Cup. Based on the limited appearances that I saw, Cann and Williams looked fine (except for the Seattle game but Gargan and Borman were terrible as I recall). I really hope they know what they're doing if they don't sign a CB. One good thing is that they won't be training on turf next year as often as last year. Also Henry gets one year older.

Wow... try a little more positivity, at least to start the season.

Anyway, Winter said way back he's looking for a CB, if Mariner gets him one, it will likely be Cann playing and Williams for bench strength.

The Sports Business Journal reports in its 2011 numbers round-up that JDG is the 5th highest paid player in MLS at $1,910.746 salary. It was a bit jarring to see that, although I guess we already knew this.

Hearing TFC has finalized deal to keep Joao Plata. Steal of the 2011 draft, but also only real impact player of the 2011 foreign draftees

BMO would never allow that jersey with only it's logo and not its name on it. Plus, long sleeve shirts always look better.

I'd take Dicoy Williams on 50k any day. Especially compared to Harden and Iro.

Harden and Iro need to share 50k

and if Williams and Cann comeback solid! which they will, Iro or Harden will get released, because we will then have 5 cbs, and thats not including and new CB's to come in, AND not including that Winter would probably give Henry more games this coming season.

Depth Chart
---------------
1. Cann
2. Williams
3. Henry
4. Harden
5. Iro
