Oh god... don't tell Flatpicker about that Kevin Kyle one... LOL

[Nuvinho]

^ Thanks!!

We can now see if any of these trialists make it, and how many Mo actually brings in.

[Nuvinho]

anyword if Julian Edwards is getting a look at by TFC?

[flatpicker]

Oh god... don't tell Flatpicker about that Kevin Kyle one... LOL

Hahaha... wouldn't that be perfect!
I could have a jersey with my first name on the back!

Wait... that sounds cheesy.

I'M DOING IT!


I could even bust out my old Coventry jersey!
Oh the possibilities!

[TFCRegina]

Ilia sounds like Gerba 2.0 Heavy and Slow.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

KEVIN KYLE could be set for a move across the Atlantic to the MLS as Mo Johnston's Toronto FC close in on the Kilmarnock skipper.

[JonO]

^^ Europe is usually day/month/year, no?

Edit: Yup - Just looked at another article on their main site and it was dated "By Keith Gladdis, 24/01/2010"

[boban]

^^ Europe is usually day/month/year, no?

So is Canada.

[Shaughno]

Fair enough, then it's from December... dick! LOL

[JonO]

So is Canada.

But the article is from Europe

I find Canada to be schizophrenic, regardless of the official position....

[JonO]

Fair enough, then it's from December... dick! LOL

It wouldn't be the first time an old article has been cited as "news", so I just wanted to make sure...

Doubt it very much, Big Kevin is doing wonders at Kilmarnock and doubt he would leave. Although their is allot of back room strife, thats the only way i see him leaving...

Ilia sounds like Gerba 2.0 Heavy and Slow.

No, he has one quality that Gerba does not have, he is also short. So he is heavy, slow and short. PERFECT.

I second Nuvinho's OP. Mods, can we sticky this thread and have just one "On Trial" super thread?

Stickied.

TFC won't sign Binstock

Canadian goalkeeper Nils Binstock had his trial with Toronto FC, but won't be sticking with the club.

The Burlington, Ont. keeper was invited to a preseason goalkeeping combine held at Lamport Stadium.

"I felt I played well but Toronto FC decided to go in a different direction," said Binstock, who remains thankful that the club asked him to come out.

Binstock had an outstanding year for Iona College, posting a stellar 0.66 GAA. But, with Iona being such a small school, he wasn't asked to the MLS Combine and knew he wasn't going to go in the Superdraft.

The former Toronto Lynx keeper will now weigh his options.

One trialist already passed on by the team.

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

anyword if Julian Edwards is getting a look at by TFC?

The former Canaries striker who's now in England's lower leagues? Where did you hear this from?

[reggie]

i think its a canadian kid who is going to a us college and was not drafted.

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

That makes much more sense - Julien Edwards not Julian Edwards.

[spark]

I am actually trying to rack my brain as to whether or not TFC has ever had a trialist work out?

jloome has a good column asking whether or not we should be bringing in random players from abroad or established ones from 'within' where there is probably less risk in terms of talent and contract negotiations.

I'm going through a bunch of names (Brittain, Kiki, there was an Ecuadorian last year no? ... the Gambians were signed or trialed?) and not sure if we've had any trialist walk into the line-up. I think I had already pictured our XI with Andrade and Said, but now I'm wondering if that might be too optimistic.

[Hitcho]

Jezza will tell you that we haven't. He's probably right, although he does screw up now and again!

Waiting for the mods to merge this into the superthread...

[Shaughno]

I do believe Robert 'trialled' with us before signing... not that it's the best example LOL

[Nuvinho]

Pacheco remember him, played a half game of preseason and Carver sent him packing.

[spark]

Apologies for not asking in an existing thread - thought it was specific!

[Hitcho]

^ oh i'd agree with you but "superthreads" (once so lablled) have a tendency to suck everything else itno them like a vortex. the hadron collider has nothing on a good superthread on these boards...

[deschamp86]

I am fairly confident that the Gambians trialled with us last year.

[Shaughno]

I do believe you're right on that one as well actually.
