    Default Rumour: Kevin Kyle to TFC

    http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/scot...-Atlantic.html


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Kyle

    I do not really know of him, but his numbers from past seasons are not that impressive... I should hope that this does not go through

    He's crap, I used to hate when he was called up for Scotland. Apparently he is doing well for Killie though but I would definitely avoid this guy.

    I bet he doesn't get signed but Mo can't help himself. Biased towards one section of the world. I know you're from the UK but look somewhere else. Like Brazil.

    I could have sworn we were linked with him earlier in the year or last year...? In any case, we can do better.

    His name is definitely familiar. We were linked with him at some point either during the season or last off-season, I don't remember

    Similar pedigree to Dichio, Robinson, and Brennan and they all worked out for us. I've also heard (friend of a friend kind of thing) that Mo's looking at winger named Killian Brennan who plays for Irish side Bohemains.

    Personal opinion, Kyle is pretty much crap. In a league as mobile as ours, he'd turn into a Jankauskas-like target man right quick. Think Danny, but less mobile.

    Here's his recent admission that he'd dive...if he knew how.

    Then again, he's had something of a rebirth at Kilmarnock; take that for what you will.

    He's also injury-prone to an extreme.

    Just read in the News of the World article that Mo's looking to double his wages, paying him 400k+! Maybe not then.

    Why always players with 2 first names?

    For those who think it's familiar, TFC did draft a player named Kyle Hall. Perhaps this is the Kyle some people are remembering.

    The article says he's currently making 2K a week (104K a year). According to the article, he'd get 200K a year here.

    The article's referencing pounds.

    Doesn't matter - Wages in GBP, purchases made in GBP. It's the same relatively speaking.

    Well if "News of the World" says it, it must be true.

    I think the point being made is that he'd be a $400k salary cap hit, not a $200k salary cap hit.

    ? My point was that wages TFC was offering we reported in the article were in pounds. 200k pounds is something like 330k USD.

    Your young son eats stuff that chars your nuts. That's one tough kid.


    ... I don't think so. He's burnt his nads in a candle/felching expedition with his girlfriend, while his wife was at home feeding his kids.

    If I ever scalded my nuts - and I hope/don't think I ever will - and had to miss a game, I'd lie and say I twisted my ankle. If the team's doctor pressed me and I had to fess up, I'd hope they'd keep the details to themselves and say that I had a "lower body injury".

    Yeah, I just noticed, News of the World and Wikipedia aren't exactly reliable sources... it very well could be that they just came across the reports that were floating around earlier and reported it as something new.

    Mo does go to Brazil every year around Christmas time for his annual vaca... I mean "scouting trip."
