And yet, after Sebas tweet and the franchise was "long established", we re-signed Jozy at an absurd 6+m and spend 10m on Pozuelo. Did your numbers land on those salary and transfer fee hits?
What did your numbers tell us made business sense for a transfer fee before we signed Pozuelo? What did your numbers predict the cap would be for DP spend when we signed Giovinco?
Can you outline how announcing on Fri vs Mon will impact season ticket sales?
The same discussion would happen with the same writers and same forums in the same places regardless of when it was...
They signed him on Friday, he's training this weekend. It's cool that a person on a forum said something but that is the start, middle and end of it. They gain nothing by announcing him later or...
What hype? And what would be different on Monday? And why would they want to minimize hype? Around .1% of the population of Toronto is even aware that this signing happened. There is no hype...
What exactly is it you think is happening here?
Politicians release bad news on a Friday evening so the dominance over the newscycle will happen at a non peak time and hopefully blow over by...
The question mark is injury and what he has left in the tank from his injury history. If he's fresh and at his best we're underpaying for him and by a large margin if you use Jozy, Pozuelo or last...
You know he has 300 apps in the top ranked league in Europe and therefore arguably the toughest league on the planet, right? People here are acting like we signed some prospect who was half decent in...
1+1 seems ideal, depending on how this shakes out he could be bought down to TAM on his second year, right?
Given the weirdness of the CBA this seems like a pretty smart move. This guys pedigree...
You don't sign a guy whose succeeded at a far higher level than Jozy as his backup, it'd be a complete waste of resources
The assumption is they couldn't, it could also be they didn't want too
Just read Piatti and thought we were nabbing Ignacio, which would have been worth the money for the drama alone. But if true this looks exciting, a La Liga regular age 30 who even got a cap for an...
Really don't get this attendance talk here, you'd swear it was a ghost town
We're 2k below the average we had during the greatest season in MLS history (and that 2k below number came based mainly...
The Jozy story is dead in the water, even if we want more than anything to move him there isn't another team on the planet that would pay him what we do when you factor in his actual output after...
There's been plenty of great loan moves in football though TFC certainly has had some stinkers. Saying that Benezet was a win, we wouldn't have signed him otherwise and he ended up contributing to a...
They're off the top of my head and Stam was just foolish enough to admit it. Mind you signing for the top team in Europe at the time as one of the world's top defenders is hardly obscure
If Neymar...
Neymar. And there's many many many more
There's also examples of doing it with no release clause, japp Stam admitted Alex Ferguson tapped him up in his book (so spoke to him, illegally, before...
The pozuelo stuff was just negotiation, really don't think anyone in world football is even aware of it nevermind cares. It's standard transfer business.
This, though, if true will haunt us. Big...
