This is very likely, little birdie said the same thing today.
No idea what is going on, seems like someone is making things uncomfortable, awkward and just doing shady things to save their job.
SMH this will definitely show up on the pitch

Jozy is probably not the most reliable witness as to the circumstance surrounding Jozy leaving.
It will all come out eventually sometime in the next few years - somebody is going to talk. I suspect somebody's halo is going to get tarnished.
I also suspect the last 2 years of covid-ball has more to do with this then Jozy is willing to admit.
This entire Jozy contract situation stinks from all sides.
Anyway it seems like Jozy talk always creeps into this thread.
Jozy is being passive-aggressive and unreasonably cryptic. He is going out of his way to say something by not saying something. The something is it didn't work out because he couldn't stay on the field. He admitted as much by straight up saying you can't beat father time and that he was at the point in his career where he could play limited minutes to help the team.
So...
Is there any likelihood that a foreign addition is to be made to join our roster immediately for or just after the start of the season?
I suspect it would be from some of these following countries- still open transfer windows...
According to Wiki and other sources...
Argentina 19FEB22 or 23FEB22?
Brazil 29MAR22 or 04APR22? or 12APR22?
Japan 29MAR22
Sweden 31MAR22
Norway 01APR22
Lithuania 12MAR22
Finland 30APR22
Maybe Bob The Builder can work some of that JJ magic in one of these countries; perhaps in Norway this time instead of Poland?
Maybe find us a more diamond in the rough, MLS version, of what he may still need; a non-striker gem like Erling Braut Haaland?
Let this boy dream!
In fact, the transfer window only applies to inbound player acquisitions. Teams in any region can ship players out at any time. See: Pozuelo, Alejandro - Genk to TFC, March 2019. The MLS window stays open until May 4. And summer window opens on July 7. So until May 4, we can acquire players from any league. It's conceivable that we bring in a player toward the end of the current window. Some of the teams in Europe will have had their position in their table crystallized by then, and may well opt to reap a transfer fee, or let an expiring contract leave early to save on wages.
Yes, of course. I am aware. Thank you for the clarification. That distinction is very important. My post should have been better formed and phrased.
The only coming and (not) also going is a common misconception of the transfer window.
Although, I believe for certain countries, their federations, outgoing may at times also be restricted.
For example Brazil... https://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/mo...fect-from-2022
"The following are the transfer windows for any type of transfer in 2022:
The first quarter runs from January 19 to April 12.
The second quarter runs from July 18 to August 15.
Not only does the law apply to player arrivals, but it also applies to player departures.
In 2023, the rule is expected to be implemented in the Brazilian Championship Series C and D."
However, I usually find that for most teams and leagues, with no out-going restriction, activity does seem to also diminish once their inbound window is closed.
Particularly for 1'st tiers; starters/regulars; yet, there are always exceptions.
For me, teams seem to prefer not to deal with such distractions or disruptions once their inbound window is closed unless really necessary.
Their base, maybe more casual than fanatic, usually expects outgoing and incoming activity to be connected; occur at the same time/window.
At times interconnected; a plug in for a plug out.
Even though there is no requirement to have to by FIFA; maybe just a general public mis-perception.
I think one of the origin reasons for windows was to allow a team that focus on play or on planning; a degree of detachment between the two.

Apparently we've signed Kadin Chung. I like the move although he did not look good in allowing that goal against Houston just now.
We are in a lot of trouble if Chung is our primary backup fullback.
They're likely signing him for the potential to learn, given his recent level of play and experience.
BB looks to be trying a few things today. THe lines are tighter, they're circulating the ball more quickly, trying to unbalance the defence.
A little disconcerting to see MB covering too much ground a few minutes ago, forcing a mid-field switch and cover. Doesn't have the speed for that.
BB sure isn't shy on the sideline, is he? Holy crow, the guy can yell.
Shaff looks pretty good today, good cover and a nice cross just now.
who is the kid playing RB? His reaction and decision making is too slow.
mavinga as well. taking too long to make decisions out the back.
I see Chung getting the Ashtone Morgan treatment out there where people pretend like they don't see him and just turn to find a different pass.
Really like what I can see from Shaff on the left side. Nelson looks to be using his pace on that side aswell.
I seriously doubt Kaiden Chung is the long term RB plan...but gonna suffer until then.
Salcedo might be the best passer on the team. Definitely looks miles better than Bradley today at it.
Really poor first half from TFC I thought. Got exposed a bunch of times down the flanks, and didn’t create any chances really.
Geoblocked for me, I tried 4 countries.
Can someone recommend a free VPN which works and does not need to be downloaded? (I mean I just open it in browser, and enter website address)
where is the game being shown?
Someone missed a sitter off a corner. Not sure if it was O'Neill or Perruzza.
cheers
Yeesh that was both ugly and a reminder that it's a training game.
Second half squad seems to be able to penetrate that final 1/3 a little bit better. They move a lot quicker than that first half squad.
I still have zero idea just what kind of player Noble Okello is.
So much unnecessary runs happening. The entire game. My head hurts. Like a ping pong match. TFC chasing the ball all over the field.
Was Achara the scorer there? Good second effort anyway.
Oh... did they wipe that one off?
EDIT: Late to change the score.
People were getting over optimistic after the last few pre-season wins.
The squad is very thin, and youngsters are being slotted into the first team, sometimes in positions they've never played before.
We aren't gong to be starting the season on fire. More reinforcements will be coming, but the beginning of the season will have some rough days. It is what it is. This overhaul was needed.
Do we HAVE to point to the Iverson Meme?
We are talking PRACTICE
Yeah, I mean... we're rotating out entire lineups, playing the kids for 30-60 minutes.
He's Bob the Builder by rep for a reason. I imagine when he's looking for backups he's mostly looking at what he can turn them into, not their immediate competitiveness.
Bit flat on that one. He pulled the lines tighter and had them trying to m ove the ball more quickly but at times it was too quick, too much ping pong, not enough final ball.
On the positive side, Walkes, Achara and Shaff all looked up for it. Okello is improving his movement. Kadin Chun looked okay in an offensive set but was beat for speed twice and naivete another time, certainly doesn't look ready. McNaughton had two passes intercepted in which he just underestimated the defender's speed, tried to force it.
