Sorry speaking more so to Corpand
Luciano Emilio's future in MLS
Luciano Emilio is in limbo, his stint with Brazilian club Rio Branco over, his MLS rights held by D.C. United and the league's international window set to close in eight days. He returned to Washington last week to sort through personal matters -- he owns a home here -- and, while in town, requested tickets to United's match with New England at RFK Stadium.
As they weigh their trade options, United officials have declined to discuss Emilio's situation. Emilio, 31, does not want to talk publicly at this time.
Keep reading.....
However, it is clear that he wants to return to MLS after three years, 41 league goals and the 2007 MVP trophy while with United. After collecting a designated-player salary of $760,000 last season, his ceiling would probably be in the $150,000-to-$200,000 range. Though he lacks the technical skills to consistently create opportunities on his own and requires regular service, he is good for 10 to 12 goals under the right circumstances. (His production fell from 21 in 2007 to 11 and then 10.)
Who needs a frontline boost (other than, perhaps, scoreless DCU)? Philadelphia did show interest a few weeks ago and Dallas might be curious, though one source told me that Emilio would not play for FCD. It probably wouldn't make much sense for Los Angeles, Colorado, Chicago, Houston, Real Salt Lake, New York or Seattle. Kansas City just finished revamping its roster. New England and Columbus seem set in their ways.
Does Chivas USA (Justin Braun and Maykel Galindo) need help? Would San Jose (Cornell Glen and Ryan Johnson) step up? What about Toronto, which is lacking at the top of the attack? Who has the salary cap space and what is United requesting in a trade? (I'm guessing financial considerations and/or draft picks.)
We should have an answer to all these questions by next week.
So no thanks then. That's the kind of player Gerba was and look how that worked out.
Emilio is obviously not the same player he was a couple years ago but he's also NOT Gerba. He's a lot more mobile and more technically skilled.
I'd prefer a fresh face to Emilio, but i wouldn't completely oppose it either.
But I'd be 90% sure he's going to Phily. He was at the DCU game last weekend with Fred (according to soccer insider), make of that what you will...
looks like if emilio comes to toronto it will be in a philly shirt for the home opener...assuming DCU allows it in time...great

Sorry if this is obvious, but does anyone know who this "Thomas" guy DeRo was speaking about in the toronto star article today.
http://www.thestar.com/sports/soccer...to-a-gong-show
His replacement at left back in the kickabout, a skinny blonde kid wearing a No. 28 jersey, has evidently yet to be introduced, or even signed to a contract.
I think his name is Thomas, Dwayne De Rosario suggested, then shrugged his shoulders.
i was wondering the same thing, but looks pretty fit. Built like a defender too. New CB?
I think he was referring to the Latvian.
The picture is on page 20.

#28 is Raivis Hscanovics
Interesting to see all the motion. I'm assuming they have fax machines in Russia/Hungary/Latvia/Trinidad...i wonder what the delay is. Maybe tomorrow will bring some positive news. Usanov looks like a seriously tough guy.
Sorry if this was post elsewhere (I can't see it). Wasn't sure if this was news or trialist thread material, but since I love the trialist thread more than cookies:

Worst transfer every, signing a football instead of a whole person?Latvian football Raivis Hščanovičs signed a contract with the MLS club Toronto FC, Sportacentrs.com confirmed the same athlete. Already on Saturday Hščanovičs would be debited by the new club's ranks and become the first Latvian footballers who played for the MLS league.

So far Hščanovičs, who, as usual, in the left guard position, represented by the Riga Skonto ", but after the contract expires February became a free agent.
If the "Skonto" club paspēs come all transfer documents, the new club ranks Raivis might already be debited on Saturday, when the "Toronto FC MLS 2010th in the second match of the season will meet with the New England Revolution "command (interesting that this club ranks playing the famous Lithuanian Edgar Jankausks, who 2008. completed the season in Riga Skonto).
"Toronto FC is the only Canadian representative of the MLS league - the other 15 teams are from the U.S.. 2009th season, "Toronto" MLS league ranked 12th place nekvalificējoties play-off tournament. Hščanovičs with Toronto, the team visited in March, but it was not completely cured knee injury. Less than one week before the former Latvian U-21 captain Hščanovičs spot went to Canada again, and spent one drills and testing the game, convinced the club's management about their abilities.

Who is being credited? LOL
Same site that said he was coming over? Probably good as signed.
I was just making fun of the fact that he was being debited. LOL
Baptiste winning a bunch of awards locally:
http://guardian.co.tt/sports/footbal...-league-awards
no word on baptiste yet tho?
Can the initial post of this thread be updated with the current information?
ie. Dan Gargan being signed as well as Kocic.
Adrian I now know for a fact is Adrian Cann.
any new word on baptiste?
TFC wiki already has the Latvian guy signed
The wiki could also have Messi, Torres and Rooney signed for TFC as well. don't always believe what you read on a publicly edited website.
Mo is a caaaacaroach. Where are these signings? Who the heck is going to start at LB tommorrow?
Baptiste is still trying to be part of the team, apparently contract negotiations aren't going too smoothly. I believe it's not about money either.
