    Sky is blue: press release just came...

    Seriously though, not a surprising move and long overdue.

    Between Vitti and Guevara that's over $600,000 in salary. Then there's the salary cap raise that's coming. We should be getting some damn good players soon.

    Not a surprising move, but he is a talented player. Just not in the way that TFC really needs.

    Best of luck to him going forward.

    We were so far over the cap with allocation money that dropping these salaries probably doesn't give us much cap space....

    This can make room for Kevin Kyle, right?

    Bye Vitti. You sucked titties here.

    We should, but probably won't. Quantity doesn't equal quality. One would have thought $300,000 would have got us a fantastic player, but then Pablo Vitti showed up.

    TORONTO FC ROSTER UPDATE

    Toronto FC announced Thursday that the club has decided to not pick up the options on the following players for the 2010 MLS season; forward Pablo Vitti, midfielder Lesly Fellinga, and midfielder Amado Guevara. December 31 marks the end of their contracts with Toronto FC.
    “After sitting with Preki, and the rest of the coaching staff, we have decided this is the direction the club would like to go,” said director of soccer Mo Johnston. “This leaves all players free to negotiate new deals with other clubs outside of MLS. We wish them all the best of luck in the future.”
    Toronto FC technical staff will travel to the MLS Combine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on January 8, before taking part in the MLS SuperDraft to be held in Philadelphia on January 14.
    The team kicks off the 2010 MLS regular season on Saturday, March 27 against the Columbus Crew in Ohio.

    All three players are positions Van der Bergh can play. Coincidence?

    Really? That's unfortunate and somewhat surprising, I think he could have made a contribution here and looked at least promising. We didn't really get to see enough of him, IMHO.

    Yeah, coincidence. He's a good player, but slowed by injuries and near the end of his career. Plus, he has a home in Dallas. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires, but if he stays on, it'll probably be closer to home.

    All three of these guys have taken the knock for work ethic in their career already, Preki's a work ethic coach. He's not going to give you merit points for dribbling ability.

    Not to try and put you on the spot, but when and under what circumstances? Guevara, I'm aware of, but Fellinga and Vitti? How did that come about?

    Vitti has been called into question more than once...I can't recall anything being said about Fellinga (ultimately he's a bit player and Preki will want to fill out the roster with his own bit players)

    I would have liked to see what Preki can do with Vitti and Fellinga, but whatever. Not upset in losing both of them, Vitti cost too much and it's too bad we couldn't get him at about half what he was making. Fellinga is so cheap, I see no reason to get rid of him... unless the club knows something we don't, which is quite likely LOL
