He and Ricketts were at our office yesterday at First Canadian Place...I asked him about the lack of scoring he said "THAT SHOULD GET BETTER WE HAVE SIGNED TWO BIG NAME STRIKERS"!!!!! Perhaps there's hope at last!

"This didn't happen"???

Hey Troll...It DID happen...he said the 'supporters will be pleasantly surprised'....Why would he make sh*t like that up? He seemed in a REALLY good mood.

Well he has finally publicly talked about how bad Cunny is(in ensco's midfield thread) , so maybe that's a sign he's done for sure. That's almost as good as a signing!

We know Mo's talking to anyone and everyone who could conceivably put a ball in, and we know some have been offered contracts, we know some have turn us down, we know Mo won't tell us someone has signed until Don Garber and his sommelier have signed the paperwork.

We don't know who, where from, or when.


Also, we know not to listen to rumours from relatives and dogs.

Everyone knew he was done the moment he started Robert as striker over Cunningham in Chicago. If multiple signings have actually taken place, all that remains to be seen is can we get anything for him in trade value, and figure out who else will get the chop.

I hope this is true. I'm in need of some good news. More than that we need to get someone in place for Tuesday. It's the biggest game in club history and winning it will help attract other players. Come on MO!

According to Mo on "Extratime" the other night, they can't do anything until the McBride issue is ressolved, as they don't know what salary a guy they get from Chicago will take up.

I could see them releasing/trading Cunningham and bringing in a DP striker, but it makes little sense to squeeze in another "Big Name Striker", and then get a $200,000 player from Chicago, and have no room for him.

Still, I get excited hearing news like this...

we are so thin at the striker,DD is out,smith could'nt score if he had a room full of hookers,cunny enough said,and now a 16 yr old,sounds like last year.
buddle would look good now!

I will not start getting excited until something is announced...

but... an apparent admission from Carver that two people "have" been signed is a little different than rumours about some striker eating lunch at BMO.

This is my favourite rumour to date...

All he did was put in a link to facebook that shows your own profile pic. If you don't have facebook, then no pic, if you don't have facebook set up on the machine you are on, then no pic.

Everyone will see their "own" profile pic (might see their wives, or kids, or roommates on a shared computer).

speaking of which it seems Korea wasnt a good choice for Mr Musampa.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiki_Musampa

FC Seoul
After an unsuccessful trial with Toronto FC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_FC) of Major League Soccer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer) he signed a two year contract with K-League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-League) side FC Seoul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Seoul) in March 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008). His stay in Korea was brief, as he made just three league appearances and two League Cup appearances for the club before the two parties agreed to mutually terminate his contract in June 2008.

Interesting.......

jloome
07-18-2008, 01:27 PM
IT's funny, but he might have been speaking the truth -- they may have tentative terms reached with a couple of guys, but are waiting for the league to hand down a ruling on the whole McBride thing; so essentially, TFC's hands would be tied by MLS

It would make sense that one of the two might be Dickov, as there was the rumour he'd signed for 18 months that was quickly denied, but he hasn't accepted terms from either Leicester or Blackpool in themeantime. Don't know about the other one--Rolfe or Frankowski, if I had to bet.

Dirk Diggler
07-18-2008, 02:05 PM
I call bullshit on this. Can an admin check to see if the guy is even making these posts from FCP?

Even still, it sounds extremely ridiculous to me. When has he ever been that candid? If Carver just spills the beans like this on a regular basis than people wouldn't need this discussion board to discuss rumours and such.
