I've never found Insigne to be selfish either, but it won't surprise me if he starts here.

Criscito, meanwhile, really doesn't seem to want to come here.

From DiMarzio (translated):
...

He stays at Genoa to help his team survive the drop but misses a key penalty in a relegation dogfight against its big city rivals that doom it to demotion.

Seems like backing out of his TFC deal...

Mavinga's gotta go. Once upon a time, his quality would have you look past his horrible fitness levels. Those days are over, he's now a significant burden on the club's books.

I wonder if Stefano Sturaro - Criscito and Destro's teammate at Genoa - has been looked at. Also out of contract this summer. Strong, gritty defensive midfielder with very little technical ability....

Need a Salcedo highlight package immediately. Legendary second half.

Did Salcedo just go full Michael Johnson and pull up after getting beat? LOL.

Pretty low. But I wouldn't wish injury on someone, I said "slight cold" for a reason!

Ecuador int'l striker Michael Estrada is out for family reasons.

Now just need Kamara to catch a...

Trade Shaff and JMR next. I wanna make history.

It was an obvious dive, but looked to me like Nelson caught the thigh.

Follow-throughs are fouls these days. Sanchez was sent off vs. Liverpool in the Champions League for a softer one than that.

I love MLS.

Just as I was typing "so far so good" ...

I need MB at wing-back now.

I feel my 3-0 bet may be surpassed after a half hour. This is a joke, really.

All I remember Acquah for during his Torino years was being a high-energy guy. That alone would be useful, but would Papa Bradley sit his boy enough to make this worthwhile? Priso needs minutes too,...

Perhaps I'm expecting too much of a professional club to employ a full-back or two. Even if the stars align and Shaff and JMR instantly figure out a brand new position, where's the depth?

We sorta do, unfortunately.

EDIT - Red CB Toronto beat me to it. :redface:

Criscito much have watched TFC's performance on that joke of a pitch and...

Well, Porto recently released a right-back, Saravia, who has sniffed the Argentina NT setup.

On the left, I believe Toia, ex RSL and Montreal player, is still without a club.

:idea:
...

Caldwell is having about as good a day as TFC's backline.

Imagine a professional club thinking so little of the full-back positions. But hey, at least they're doing UNICEF's work.

Criscito was arguably Italy's best left-back once upon a time (albeit during the Azzurri's lowest point). He still could be a useful player, but this is a 35-year-old who's missed most of the season....

I definitely think it's a possibility, but Insigne at striker really isn't ideal. He's Serie A's biggest xG underperformer. Despite being known for his trademark curler, he's not a finisher. And he's...

The issue is that Italy plays five times after the domestic season ends. I doubt he starts every game, but they're against some big competition.

I'm sure there's a precedent for MLS teams giving marquee players time off after the European season, but it's hard to justify paying big-time money to let a guy vacation before joining. Unless...
