Yeah, I'd argue Destro is less needed than Jimenez. TFC absolutely need someone right now, and they should be getting JJ's prime years. Plenty of wingers in Italy they could have looked at instead....

I meant in the playoffs, obviously. :hide: (I knew someone would call that out if they didn't face each other in the back half.) Let's go with Charlotte then.

Insigne will be going from scoring penalties versus FC Barcelona to FC Cincinnati in 2022 - if he's so lucky.

This would surprise me at this point, for fit alone. Does Jimenez move to the right wing, where Manning-like research tells me he doesn't play? I can't imagine he's here to eventually be a bench...

What formation did TFC run today? 4231? If BB is only going to play with one striker, I wonder if the club continues to pursue other significant striker targets or instead signs an MLS journeyman on...

Do TFC have any international spots left? I wonder if the club may use MB's contacts at Roma (if he has any at this point) in an attempt to recruit right-back Davide Santon. His contract expires in...

I'm really intrigued to see what Jimenez can bring. He doesn't necessarily need to be a guy who can convert crosses. More importantly, he'll (eventually) need to be a high-IQ guy who can play WITH...

Tello has (slightly bettter) Bojan Krkic vibes, I can see him in MLS. IIRC, he's predominantly a left-sided player but is two-footed so could do a job at RW.

I mean, it might? Poland's window closes later this month, I believe. Though if he's still with his team near the end of the month, it's unlikely TFC are in pursuit.

Not much of an update, but Gornik Zabrze CEO says "nothing is certain" in regards to Jesus Jimenez's departure.
...

There are still a good number of leagues with open windows (Turkey, Switzerland, China, etc), but at this point I'm hoping against hope.

^ No Jozy in that tweet. *eyes emoji*

What I've noticed from the couple video compilations I've seen, Jimenez likes to make the early through run. Luckily for us, TFC probably have MLS' best player at spotting those.

I like that he's known as a fan favourite. Good chance then that he's a character guy, and goodness knows we need those.

Has anyone caught wind of how Giovinco performed against the Galaxy?

Fab reported TFC made a proposal to Belotti, who is keeping his options open until he hits free agency.

Stalteri once offered me his condolences for being a TFC fan. He must be down bad. :D

I can't shit on Curtis for the Soteldo signing. It was largely (universally?) praised as a steal and the narrative was that TFC had signed one of the best guys playing in South America....

I'd be fine with Salcedo as a DP. Aside from the fact that this move seemingly solves the Soteldo dilemma, nothing in football is more frustrating for me to watch than conceding bad goals. Granted,...

I wonder if there's a chance Poz is the one who leaves and they keep Soteldo to try and rebuild his value. Tactically, it makes sense as it would allow BB to play his customary 433, with Soteldo...

Not to sound like Dr. Steven Caldwell, but Insigne was able to walk it off and attempt to continue, so might not be overly serious.

He'd still have plenty of leg room in economy.

Now give me Belotti and I will be edging myself until finally releasing in July.

What was it? Some "boppity boopity" kinda thing? If so, I'll give them a pass since it's probably Giacometti doing it. (EDIT: Yup, figured)



On a similar note, good luck getting many Italians...

Here, I guess. Insigne official tomorrow. The guy is a tuttomercato director. Popular but not very reputable Italian transfer news outlet.

Insigne covers a lot of ground. Often tracks back to basically a left-back position. He leads by example but I don't see him wanting to do so much defensive work here, and that's OK.
