Adieu to Edu, etc ...

What a weekend for Toronto FC.

As everyone with a vested interest in the team waited for a new player to step through the proverbial window, the exact opposite happened. Maurice Edu, a player 10 days removed from gracing the cover of soccer's most popular video game, (http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2008/08/05/SOC-Edu-0/) was sold to Glasgow Rangers of the Scottish Premier League for a reported fee of $5 million. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/scotland/article4554001.ece)

In a twisted sort of way, the Edu move initiates TFC as a professional club; for the lesson that ink is thicker than allegiance is one that every new club will inevitably learn. Big clubs use the littler ones for sustenance. No hard feelings, eh?

In reality, the other shoe has been ready to drop on Edu since last summer, when Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill tipped the midfielder (along with Marvell Wynne) as a player with the talent to play in Europe's top leagues. (http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2007/11/07/edu_aston_villa/) It is surprising it took a full calendar year for the move to happen, but it did, and at the end of the day Toronto FC will always be a business first.

"I sent out a letter to FIFA; I'm trying to get them to change their rule [to] where a player can wear three digits on their jersey," Cunningham said during an introductory Q&A session in Dallas. "

What a douchebag. Gawd I hate him.

it's just like cunningham tho, so it may not be a joke.
i wouldn't be surprised to see him do that.

But going back to "0" would be perfect for a guy like this.

Definitely not a joke - see the "CUNNY'S NEW NUMBER" Thread for the link to the story.
