Dealing with no deals
Not only does TFC fail to get help, it has to face Dallas' star striker

By STEVE BUFFERY (steve.buffery@sunmedia.ca), SUN MEDIA

Toronto FC head coach John Carver was hoping for another big deal to go down prior to this afternoon's game against FC Dallas.
Sure, Carver was hoping that TFC manager Mo Johnston would have pulled the trigger on a deal that would have brought the struggling Reds another striker (joining newly acquired Chad Barrett) and a defender.
That other deal he was hoping would come to fruition was a rumour he had heard during the MLS all-star festivities in Toronto two weeks ago. There was talk that Dallas FC was going to sell striker extraordinaire Kenny Cooper to Cardiff City FC. Unfortunately for Carver, that never happened, and now the Reds will have to contend with the American star today at BMO Field.
"Kenny has been outstanding and I was hoping he was off to Cardiff before our game because I heard the rumours at the all-star game that he was going," Carver said. "I nearly rang (Cardiff manager) Dave Jones up myself and said: 'Make sure you take him before we play them.' "

TFC throw Barrett into the fire

CBC Sports


Chad Barrett will make his debut for Toronto FC when the Canadian club hosts FC Dallas on Sunday (CBC, CBCSports.ca, 4 p.m. ET).

Barrett will be in the starting lineup against Dallas, just 48 hours after landing in Toronto and training with his new teammates for the first time since being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Fire last week.

Goal difference is the only thing keeping us from being DEAD LAST. Damn straight we need a win today! On the other hand, if we win today we'll only be 4 points away from 3rd place. The league is still quite open, but all it takes is a few mistakes and we could be 10 points out of the race.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GAME!

Worst thing abut facing Cooper today is that he got a recent taste of the turf in the all-star game, he never saw it last year since he was hurt due to the horrible tackle by our very own Tyron Marshall while he was with LA.
