not about money? well he def will make more here than in the pro league, the only thing that could be an issue might be an opt out clause cuz ultimately every trini wants to play in england like yorke did, but at 28 thats a tough move to make, i really hope we can get him tho i think he'd fit in well with us
Id take Emilio on this team. He would do a lot for us I think but it seems that P.U. is going to get him, we need a veteran striker to pair with Barrett and OBW. If we get him scoring 10-15 a year like DeRo, and Barrett is capable of putting in around 10 goals, I think we have a pretty solid offense. Id take him over Baptiste as it stands right now because Emilio is a proven scorer in the league, but Ill take what I can get right now...
The MLS head office must be an administrative nightmare. How long will it take for an official announcement regarding the new signings?
MUST.....HAVE.....UPDATES.....
It looks like Baptiste has been invited to trial with Ipswich Town in June...

18 roster changes across the league today, on 9 teams. Its not just happening in Toronto! 13 minutes ago via web
------------------------------------------------------------
"Not just in Toronto" -- so I guess that means SOMEONE was signed in Toronto today? Nothing definite announced yet. (Latvian websites, google translated, & reported on Cdn soccer blogs, doesn't count as official IMO.)
Of course the difference being other teams build their roster and then change it around as need be. Or try to improve on an existing core.
TFC seems to always be continually building its squad up.
Buts its nice to know the FO sees that the fans aren't happy with the shit way its running the team.
Paul Bierne should stick to grass and seats...and the business stuff....he annoys me when he starts doing this
Oh well, I think it's usually pretty funny. I think there are bigger problems than what Paul B. writes on his Twitter. And they know that too.
don't take Paul Beirne too seriously. If you actually subscribe to his Twitter feed, you'll "get it." He's a pretty funny, sarcastic guy. i loved his april fool's tweet about the new roof coming!
Man, you really are an MLSE sycophant.
I'm a big fan of sarcastic humour and have seen Paul Beirne's internet postings before. But sometimes Paul Beirne comes across as smug and insulting. I guess hanging around the arrogant MLSE culture or entitlement can do that to a person.
Why are they having a hard time signing Cann again what is the hold up, and also Baptiste.
Well as it stands today, Baptiste is officially out of contention to play for TFC. Big contract hurdles. I really hope something gets done but looks like a far cry now. I guess Dickov is our best bet so far. Let me see if I can dig out some more info
brutal, i hope Baptiste comes crawling back at a salary cut
can someone explain to me why we didnt go out and sign Arrieta, who just signed with the Union?? This guy looked great against us last year when he played for Puerto Rico..
^^
i see.. well thats too bad, i really liked him last year.. thx for the insight.
Philly probably put a discovery claim on arrieta
...an additional advantage being a certain number of priority claims on USL players. Seattle had unlimited right of first refusal on all USL players without prior MLS claim; previous expansion teams had ten discovery claims for USL players...and I don't know how many the Union were allotted.
Edit: like he said ^x2
