I just dont get this whole Mo Cummins combo, if a manager/head coach wants players he should be able to get them instead of waiting for the heirarchy
One of them has to be that striker Van Dijk. I'd prefer good defenders rather than more offensive firepower.
Well Nana back in training is the best news I heard all day....!

Are the three:
Michal Pospisil
Lesly Fellinga
Dominique van Dijk
???
Those are the three whose names have been rumoured as potential signings. It'd be sweet if we signed Fellinga, based on what little I know about him.
from Lee Godrey's twitter:
Wesley Charles??GOLTVLeesaw a familiar face from a USL side at TFC training today. He's a centre back...that's your clue. Tune into Toronto FC today to find out.
I bet you any money. And for those who've forgotten:

Too much of a hothead for me and he's also 33. That's a bit long in the tooth for us, no?

If he can provide some solid performances and minutes, while the kids continue to "grow up" as players, then it could be a great investment.

I mentioned a few days ago, Riley O'Neill might be coming over for a trial. Only his club wouldn't let him go easy. Haven't heard more on that since but could be a possibility.
Just please Mo hurry the fuck up. There's four days left in the transfer window!!!
Edit: and the trade deadline is Sept 15!

These things are always done at the last minute, even in Europe.

Adam Braz or Marco Reda? GULP!
wasn't Marco supposed to be gone by Monday?
maybe that Parke guy?
Why does there have to be this air of secrecy every time the player trials with the time? In Vancouver there was an article about the five trialists the Whitecaps have with the team. In DC, Goff gets info. on trialists straight from the GM and posts it in his blog. Here it's all mystery men and tune tomorrow BS.

If you remember, Mo talked openly about his intentions to bring in a player during the Dickov pursuit last season, and got lambasted in many corners for being full of hot air when the deal fell through.
I wouldn't blame him for being secretive.

I think it's a little apple and oranges. Several teams where vying for Dickov and Mo made it sound like he had him signed and sealed, when he clearly did not. These trialists are guys who want to be here, it's not like the negotiations process is going to be compromised by having their names out there.
I get miffed with this because TFC always seems to do too little to late in terms of bringing players in (in the team's short history that is). Look at the whole forward mess from last year, by the time Mo brought someone in it was too little, way too late. My feeling is that if we don't make a couple moves, we miss the playoffs.
didn't want to start a new thread, but does anyone have a list of all the trialist we know about??
Parke would be good, but Seattle still owns Parke's rights.
I'm not sure if MLS rule allows players to trial for a team when another team owns his rights...

happened last season between chicago and NYRB
he would also have to serve that 4 game suspension for the supplement oopsie
Ibrahim trained with TFC for weeks before Dallas and TFC worked out a trade.
what happened to that dutch/haitian left back?
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day

But we're also easily swayed
Dutch media said his TFC-contract commences on December 1st, 2009. So he's one for next season. Hope he's good enough for you, since he wasn't able to break in the first XI with SC Heerenveen (Dutch Premier League) last season...
Why on earth would it not take effect until December 1st?
srsly. qu-est-ce que fuck?
frankly, I'm not happy with Jimmy B at LB.
I hope Gomez or Attakora can play LB

Parke is training with TFC... just watched TFC today online and you can see him practicing in the background.
What is Parke's first name, please?
Do you have a link, because I'm sure I read that Fellinga's is a short term contract that expires in Dec., not begins.
