    Default JDG Signed Today

    From Paul's tweet:

    Paulbeirne: YAY! http://twitpic.com/hawgd (7 minutes ago from Tweetie)

    It looks like the pic was taken underwater, but that hair tells me that this is a pic of JDG signing his papers. There's also a twitpic of Mo in the room... I think this is confirmation!

    yup....consider him signed.

    Now, the question is whether he is fit to play tomorrow. If he does play tomorrow, I think they are NUTS.

    Default DP presser today

    TFC just sent out a release, saying only that the team's "first Designated Player" will be introduced at a press conference at BMO Field at 1:!5 this afternoon.

    How fast could MLS ratify a contract once signed? I can imagine a holdup of some nature due to the size of the contract, but I'd love to see him tomorrow.

    At least we don't have to worry about immigration crap!

    Ben, you MUST ask Mo if Dwayne was guaranteed to be the highest paid player on the team and, if so, how will Julian's signing impact that.

    So JDG signed (not so glad he put us off, but he's here now) ... is this pre or post MLS approval?

    that would be some hard hitting journalism.
    We know that Ben knows the tough questions, but we also know that some people don't want anyone to rain on their parade.

    I'm sure the MLS FO had to approve before the final signatures were given.

    BTW, for a DP signing, not just MLS FO but the Board of Governors must approve.

    I agree here Dino....how much action has he really had. I love him to death, but rushing him out there may not be the best idea....even if we need him on the pitch this saturday......

    Of course.

    JDG might have to buy him a beer or something.

    I'm fairly certain this is post league approval, since from my understanding the league had to sign off before the player officially signed.

    and they agreed to that ages ago (last season).

    I remember Tom Anselmi saying "If we fine the perfect guy, at the perfect price, and the timing is perfect, then we might sign him". Talk about choosing his words.

    no just that, but you don't announce something that could be rejected by the league......it would make no sense

    If he is fit to play even half the game, it couldn't hurt. It's not like he'd be interrupting the wonderful team chemistry we have going right now.
