Maybe these guys can update us on the Arjen Robben chase...

All the people that were upset when we didn’t sign Vieira are pretty quiet...
Check it out. We are in on Arjen Robben.

I am going to make it a mission to restart that rumour.
Hey whatever happened to Arjen Robben? (The Borre thing really reminds me of that)
Ciman back to Montreal as an assistant.
We all know the back story so we can skip the usual unpleasantries. Glad he sorted something that worked so well for his family....
Defoe is getting too much stick. It's fine, it worked out for everybody.
He was Ryan Nelsen's guy, that move wasn't well thought through in hindsight.
Drake, whatever, he spent all his energy...
Canada has a terrible rep in Brazil. It’s the one place where you are actually probably better off with a US flag on your backpack.
I am not sure how exactly our problem there started, but this...
Teams negotiate with players without permission to make contact all the time.
Actually signing the player without contacting the club is unheard of.
I am very pleased if that is true.
He is a big part of our DNA. I feared he would follow Vanney to LA or Bez to Columbus (particularly the latter - he is from Cleveland)
Benezet. Same as Piatti I guess, but he did get that big goal in Atlanta (only to screw the pooch in Seattle).
Not defined correctly. I already mentioned Vazquez and Moor. The list of guys who chose TFC would also include Cheyrou and vdW (whatever you think of him, he had options when he came). Even guys like...
^All our success came from moves move by Leiweke, Bez and Vanney.
You could argue this management’s rep is simply a question mark, but I don’t think so. There are 10+ teams guys would rather play...
I think it's possible to see the Pozo story both as a success (we got the player and he is a damn good player) and a sign of incompetence (we did a bunch of rushed, reactionary stuff that wasn’t...
You get in the water with a shark, and the shark bites you.... don't blame the shark.
Andre Cury, some sort of intermediary, maybe Borre's agent.
Aha. I know that name, here is why.....
The high press also involves much more use of the offside trap by the backline. So it works best when you have stability in the back (players who have been together for a while). Which we do have.
Mertens buzz was nothing like Borre. Mertens was some random wishing on here. Borre has been reported widely, lots of journals discussing, it was picked up at mlssoccer.com etc
We are owned by the telephone and cable duopoly. There is nobody who think marketing matters anywhere above them.
Plus the corporate reaction to Leiweke was and is profound. They all like it...
^Also leaves you more exposed on the counter, and in transition, generally.
Fun, lots of goals (for and against), high risk.
By the way, I think it’s super interesting to see that Orlando didn’t have to make Pato a DP to get him. Jozy and Pato are almost exactly the same age and, in different ways, are kind of comparable....
That Islander thing is interesting. I posted something about that long ago. There are similarities between the Islander fan base in NY and TFC in Toronto.
Small, niche, small TV market, most...
Haha. Seriously.
OK I hear all of you. peace. It's not the biggest opinion on my part. I get the human side might be better for more players than I said.
Re full size pitch, teams train on multiple pitches at once...
I don’t really see this. Not to be too argumentative... but aside from Bradley and Ciman (in Montreal, who definitely matters for this question), who really lives here? The families could go with the...
