I've watched a lot of Spurs games and always thought Moura would be a superstar in MLS. Hopefully it was us asking about him.
:D :taz: Wasn't necessarily directed at you. :D
I keep hearing that Ayo is still a few months away from being able to play. And I think the kid signed today would be a backup that gets eased in now and then while appropriate. My guess is that they're still going for another top striker talent, or at least a GOOD veteran.
In addition to Perruzza and Achara, the full list of players that they classify as "Forward" in the roster on the torontofc.ca website is pretty funny. Maybe it's just my hope that they still sign someone else, especially as I expect Jozy to be gone. My sense is that there are still a number of moving parts all at once, hopefully they have time to get it all worked out. (Otherwise I get déjà vu of the frustrations of the last two seasons and beyond...)
I'd rather give Robert Beric a max TAM deal over Jozy. Usual caveats apply, but it is time to move on and it has been for awhile.
Also, the club announced the Delgado trade a few minutes ago.
Re fitness: They must believe Ayo has recovered or he doesn’t get that contract. Clubs have medical for exactly that reason.
And how Jozy passes a medical at another club if he hasn’t been training is beyond me, but apparently it’s unwelcome to raise this point.
On the issue of strikers, Bradley spoke to systems patterns and movement when asked about Insigne’s absence. So assuming they will want to rely on his service as well as his Google, do we then look for lots of Shaff crosses on the first half of the season to a goal poacher like Peruzza, or will they be working on movement to create space for Insigne and therefore we see other players to be named later get more time. Or?
Someone who played how Jozy did with Seba ie runs off each other, creative use of movement and space - would be very effective.
Yeah we have been going on the "if he is healthy he could get xxx goals this season" for a few years....but he is never fully healthy as we know. The Jozy we knew in 2017 is not coming back for us or any other team. He will be on the treatment table for the majority of the time for any future contract for anyone who takes him on.
This is kind of what happens in MLB. If a player is released, that team has to pay the full contract, however if they sign a contract with a new team the amount that the new team plays the player is deducted from the original contract.
So if Team A owes a player $5M and they release them. The player then signs a $1M contract with team B. Team A only has to pay $4M and Team B pays $1M.
The speculation from MLS Xtra time was that three teams could be interested in him as a max TAM player - see Enscos post above - for that to work he would need to be fit and show that he is fit.
(I totally disagree with your post but have been asked not to keep saying that, so I won’t get into it)
jabbronies, MightyDM, Joe Kool, and everyone else:
We are all extremely interested in the ongoing Jozy discussion. In fact so much so that there's a whole thread dedicated just to that!
http://forums.redpatchboys.ca/showth...-Thread/page13
There have been page and pages (and pages) of discussions in this thread of when Jozy was fit or not, how much of his issues were his own doing or the club's fault, tea leaf reading of anything related to Jozy, etc. Do you think we will get any further on that on Page 138 of this thread? Maybe on page 145?
He is currently on the roster and someone is making a comment referring to him so I have the right to respond. End of story. I won't be told by anyone to be quiet and move along now to another thread. And the sarcastic questions at the end of your last post is not really doing the trick for me either...
If it impacts this years roster, then it should be here. If we are talking about great goals, legends, fitness move it over there. Anything that involves cap space, buyout, trade should be here. IMHO
He’d certainly be amazing here. But it’s the people a notch below him who would also do very well here that we should be recruiting. Just a notch - the ones who don’t get into games much and maybe have a weakness, but the technical skill they have would hide that here. Like Seba was. For example, Sebastian Haller who didn’t quite work at West Ham. Not him specifically but that kind of player
I wonder why TFC is just dropping all of these moves on a Friday. I'm surprised they didn't just announce one signing every day like they did in 2020 when they signed Romeo/JMR/Nelson and announced one per day. Basically everyone is going to forget about Kerr and Ranjitsingh signing because the Delgado news will take the top of mind status
I do think Jozy became, in reality, a non roster player the day they traded Dwyer. (Until then I thought there was a chance, however small, that he might stay.)
A mod did ask folks to move it to the other thread a few days ago because the Jozy debates, now seemingly resolved from a TFC POV, were repetitive and drowning out other things to talk about...
I am copying what I posted originally and moving it there...
Management is not happy that things have been getting out prematurely… that being said it’s been like Fort Knox the only thing imminent is the Saceldo deal… besides that it’s crickets. I’m told things are in the works but no names are be given, just the comments as we will be impressed if everything pans out
I know it’s not much, but that’s what I got
Yes, you are pretty well reading it right. If you had been following the thread, you would know why. You can choose the hill you wish to die on - no one can stop you, but why worry about Jozy when he is yesterday's news. Perhaps if it is put it in plain Canadian it will be clearer? Take off eh? :)
Belotti watch is back on.

Interesting thing about that post are some of the replies... maybe an interesting indication...
The perception appears to be that times are tough in Italy... take the money and play...
Alessandro... 'What does he have to decide? If they are really offering 10M Net + 5M Bonus (for this) he will walk (to Toronto-TFC).'
kilometro... 'He would even go for less then half of that.'
Luca Kalulista... 'He should swim there... what is he waiting for?'
