He'd be gold. Felinga. There's a song, and a movie...
Goodbye Velez!!!!!
Okay not really but if this is true any defensive signing gets my hopes up.
Could do worse. Decent pedigree for a MLS player. The MLS is a decent place for mid-20s players who've lost their way to restart their careers - in Europe they're kind of viewed as having missed their chance, but over here they're still considered young.
I'm honestly hoping for a solid replacement for Brennan. I don't care what anyone thinks of him.
is this the mysterious defender that was rumoured earlier in the season?
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

They should put Gala in. He can't be worse than Brennan has been.Originally Posted by Damiiano
Just speculation, but I think he is the #25 spotted in the recent TFC TV segment.
There was a thread on this guy yesterday.
It sunk to the bottom of the forum though when we realized he was no one to get excited about skill wise.
Feel everyone's lack of enthusiasm yesterdays was unfounded - not many of the players on TFC currently have vastly superior pedigrees.
Guys, Vitti gets the captain's arm band for a friendly against a team from his country...Velez gets benched for a CCL game against his former team and hometown club...Velez is gone, I am convinced.
Now this guy, I am not excited about him because he sounds like a depth guy...so whatever...
Youngish, coming from a good Euro. league, plays a position where we need depth. What's not to be excited about? Would have Pozniak been more exciting?
I am just saying we need starters...
well, at least with Pozzybear we know what we're getting
this guy, he's a bit of mystery.
still, as long as he can defend, i have no problems giving this guy a look

I wouldn't be shocked if the plan or the hopes are to use him at LB and push Brennan in to the midfield or visa versa.
Brennan has lost a step defensively, but I think he still has the technique and skill to be a solid midfielder.

I'd be happy with us signing 3 or 4 (or however many empty roster spots we have) crappy players before the Real madrid game just so that our starters can get some rest.
Beyond that, this doesn't really get me going, hopefully he can be a decent and fairly cheap squad player.
LOL...I am sure some of starters are pumped up and want to play against Real Madrid. So don't be surprise if TFC decides to play all their starters.
Anyway, I don't know who's Fellinga, but I hope he is good since we have no LB on this team.
By the way, Fellinga is only a reserve squad player @ Heerenveen.
+1.
It's time for Brennan to ride the pine for a while.
nobody should have a lock in the starting slot. I feel Brennan and Robbo and few others who are pretty much guaranteed a starting slot are getting a bit complacent
competition is good

EXCELLENT POINT
i feel the same way, and i think they do to...
dont be surprise if Dero comes captain
Terry Cooke please!
Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
Erdivisie, Herenveen? Sounds good to me, especially with international experience (albeit for Haiti!). 25 is young enough ot have plenty of years ina TFC shirt, but not so young as to be lacking in experience.
Could be a good move, fingers crossed it works out.
And yeah, like to see Brennan at left mid, his natural and best position, from now on.
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
I hoping Fellinga, and maybe even one more player, gets signed in time for the Real Madrid game. Give him a good chance to play in a friendly before being thrust in league and, let's hope, CCL games.
Goff says he has signed and is awaiting a work permit:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/soc...=soccerinsider
Toronto FC target Lesly Fellinga, a Haitian national team defender from the Dutch league who is represented by U.S.-based Long View Management, is tentatively scheduled to receive his work permit Wednesday and begin formal training with the club this week. The 23-year-old left back has already agreed to contract terms with TFC.
Good. We need couple of more players.
Yes we do!!!!
however i do like the youth that is being brought in aswell
Nana
Gomez
Sanyang
Ibrahim
Gala
all got serious potential, all 20 and under
So do I. Lots of great youth, just tell CC to fucking give them some playing time.
yea i really dont know why ibbee doesnt get any playing time, he was very effectivie last year, at the times he played
