    i would shit my pants if Mo signs Luca Toni in Jan.

    but, odds that Toni might go to EPL or more likely back to Italy

    ..he tall, scores goals, and is Italian. Perfect replacement for our current legend.

    But only if he plays like he did in 2006 for Fiorentina & 2007 for BM. If he plays like he did in the confed cup, then he can stay a free agent forever.

    ^ Luca Toni would destroy this league...anything less than 15 goals from him would be a huge disappointment...he should be a 20+ goal guy in this league.

    He's not what he used to be thats for sure... But I will say he has always played better for his club than country.

    Besides the rumour is Inter... as an inter fan I'm not sure I like that...

    edit: I went on goal to look for the article I read the other day and found this instead!... looks like Liverpool is one of the rumoured now, they can have him.

    If that rumor is true, then he'd have to change his nationality first.

    He would be over 20 goals in this league... MLSE should have saved their $$$ even an offer on Luca Toni would have made headlines throughout Toronto and publicity like never b4....

    True he has always played better for club then country. I would welcome him to TFC.

    MLSE just think of all the Jersey sales!

    I would be willing to bet he would have more of an impact on any team's results in the MLS than Beckham had for the galaxy... maybe* not as much of a media impact but definately more of a results impact

    *edit: probably

    We need a 2nd DP slot before anything else....

    Maybe if a new CBA allows for it

    I don't really follow the Bundesliga but what happened to Toni? Wasn't he the top scorer in the league as recently as 2007? How did he decline so fast?

    A move to Liverpool makes sense for him at this point. For now we don't have a second DP spot so we can't invite him to play for us anyway - unless he's willing to take a MASSIVE paycut.

    Wake the fuck up!!!!
    The only thing you will see Moe sign this off-season is his cc bill at the ripper joint in Charleston next March if you can 'twitter' your way to finding out where it is in Charleston he prefers his lady dancers.

    ...at which point, all of the supporters' boards would rip on Mo for making unrealistic offers and accuse him of doing this only to boost the club's (and his own) media profile instead of actually trying to improve the team.

    'Cause, you know...that's what we do.

    I honestly think Moe is about to run his last lap in TO.
    If you look at his history, and what/where he has been, he is probably scoping other things out as we speak.
    Trust me, he knows the gig is coming to an end.
    He knew it from the beginning of last season.
    I say he moves to Vegas 2011 and get's a job with the newly established Crew!
    You heard it here first!!!!

    That or he ends up being the inaugural manager at the Edmonton Drillers.
    Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.

    A fit Luca Toni would destroy MLS defenses, I would be amazed if he ended up in the MLS though especially when there are so many Premiership clubs that would still gladly take him. Arsenal are still looking for a striker and Toni at 32 if fit could do a job there, he would certainly add a bit of steel to the attack with perhaps Eduardo doing most of the running. West Ham would be interested also with Ashton retiring. There is a whole heap of mid table / lower table who would be interested as well as a whole heap of Italian. He may chose to go to an Italian club though as he knows it more, is a proven goal scorer there and he would perhaps have more chance of success there especially with the next world cup coming.

    I can't see this really. Why would he play for TFC when he has much better options?
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    I was going to start a thread on this as a joke. But then there was a serious one. Nothing is impossible, but Luca Toni at TFC, is almost impossible.


    He has already stated that he wishes to return to Italy, some Italian club will take him, the only other place that he may go is if someone in the EPL, Ancelotti or Manccini, most likely would ask him to go there. Otherwise he is comming back to Serie A.

    Me too.

    I have 6 soccer jerseys that have a player's name on the back, 4 say Toni. There is no player I'd rather see come to TFC.

    That being said, there is no way in hell this happens.


    Dynamo Moscow is also interested, they're willing to pay him 6.5 million euros a year.
