Seems like TFC2 depth in the midfield and wing. With Priso, Rutty and Nelson (amongst others hopefully) playing more for TFC, the junior team could use some depth in that role.

Lots of top executives in other sports played a minimal amount at a high level in their sport. At other Toronto teams, Brendan Shannahan is the only to have played at the top league in their sport....

Not sure if I missed this somewhere, but Marky posted an Instagram story this morning at a California surgery center with the caption "Procedure". I know he was injured at the end of last season but...

I think we have Omar for one more season and then a club option after that. I don’t think we’d get much by trading him, other than freeing up some TAM space. I hardly think Omar is the primary issue...

The quote from MLS says “ This proposal will help ensure the long-term health of the league while paying MLS players 100 percent of their salaries.”

Are they saying 100% of salaries is the 95%...

Dan Calichman and Jim Liston (director of sport science) are both joining LAG. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/mls/greg-vanney-galaxy-coach-1.5862320

We have the reigning MLS MVP on our team, one of the highest paid Canadians in the world, convinced our team captain to drop from a DP to a TAM slot, and beginning to integrate some up and coming...

Marky has been posting some Instagram stories recently discussing/showing his recovery. I think his injury at the end of the season was a lot more serious than we/I thought it was.

The comment from Duane seems a lot more definitive than I think it may be. He says "we have heard" - does that mean news that has been made public or news that he's hearing from sources? From public...

I've watched a lot of Spurs games this season. They do play pretty defensively, but I think part of that is how great they are on the counter. They don't have the right players to break a team down...

TFC has apparently interviewed Armas multiple times. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/12/31/sources-chris-armas-interviews-toronto-fc-head-coaching-job

I don't know too much about him, but...

Laurent Blanc had been out of work since 2016. I don't think we necessarily needed to be rushing to get him in fear other teams would sign him first. They had four years to sign him before we came...

Alex Ring moves from NYCFC to Austin for up to $1.25M in GAM ($750k guaranteed, $500k based on performance). The funny money is flying around.

The Sun had reported that there was a Zoom call set up for late last week with Blanc and Vierra to gauge their interest in the role. ...

They didn't play leg 1 because of all of the COVID lockdowns. I think all the games going forward in the tournament are also going to be single legs.

Jordan Perruzza posted on Instagram that he's signed with Paradigm Sports Management. That's the same agency as Jozy. Most of their players appear to be MLS/USL players.

Travel would be awful. It's a 5.5 hour flight to get from Toronto to Mexico City. The amount of stress that travel would put on players is huge.

The $1B number is also just the drop in revenue, not profit. The league had savings on salaries, reduced staff costs, didn't have to staff stadiums on game days, etc. No doubt the league didn't...

Whenever it ends up getting played, TFC should be in a better spot. MLS will probably get started before the CPL, so TFC should hopefully have gone through training camp, whereas Forge may be a...

Perhaps, but one of the key advantages of the youth fund is that transfer fees don't count against the budget. No transfer fees for your own academy grads.

After sleeping on it, I have to agree that signing a 3rd traditional DP and one young player is probably the better option for TFC at this point. The likelihood of success with these young players is...

Some DP/Youth fund news from The Athletic. I'll copy/paste the relevant stuff. https://theathletic.com/2245419/2020/12/07/mls-2021-start-youth-fund-mauro-manotas/
