thx...but keegan mentioned there are 2 young canadian keepers in camp,who is the other guy in camp other then street?
It's the guy from Thunder Bay isn't it ?
I wish I knew what some of these guys look like - saw them training at Lamport today and there were a few faces I didn't recognize...
Getting Street in would be an interesting idea and I can see why both parties would be interested. I think he sees a potential to get playing pro and get himself in as the Canadian keeper. TFC needs the international slot and could trade Frei if they are confident in Edwards (I also think Frei holds more value), or trade Edwards.
I am sort of pulling for Adam Street for the Backup role, Any word on how the Egyptian defender is doing.
I guess you can add Dan Gargan, Vincent Kayizzi and Hunter Gilstrap to the list
Kayizzi has 5 goals in 17 games this season for his team in Serbia.
Stepanovic played for the same team as kayizzi, looks like Preki has a connection there

Hunter Gilstrap (not pictured) sure knows how to make an exit. Because when he leaves a football club he does so by showing the fans his middle finger. From what I can tell, he’s basically the Kenny Powers (NSFW) of soccer.
Gilstrap was playing for South African Premier Soccer League outfit Maritzburg United. Emphasis on the was. Because Gilstrap was apparently dreadful between the sticks in Maritzburg’s 5-2 defeat to Lamontville Golden Arrows on February 12th 2009, dreadful enough for the club to hold a hearing into his performance and charge him with not putting in enough effort.
Worse – so much worse – Gilstrap finished the game by giving Maritzburg fans the middle finger and then disappearing.
Maritzburg set up a disciplinary meeting for Gilstrap to discuss his poor performance and hand gestures, but the keeper was A.W.O.L.
He finally contacted the club last week. From back home in America:
“I received an e-mail from Hunter, who said he was back in America,” United chairman Farouk Kadodia said at the end of last week.Let the bidding war commence?
“He indicated that he just could not stay for the hearing, and needed to get back to his home country.”
Gilstrap, who had an open ticket to return to the U.S. given to him by United, still has a year-and-a-half left on his contract with the PMB team.
“Hunter said [in his e-mail] that he was not aware that he needs an international transfer clearance to join another team, and asked if we could supply it,” Kadodia said. “We have referred the matter to Safa and said if any club wants to sign Gilstrap on then we will be willing to negotiate a fee.”
Oy.
^^ Can we submit a bid on behalf of the Shite Bulls?
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
comments from readers suggest there is more to teh story then suggested
Yeah, there always is (and I should have taken the time to post them - to be fair), but it's a weird story nonetheless
oh yeah doesnt show him in a good light
any news as to whether Ibrahim Said is there yet??

On the subject of Andrade for a second, from my understanding there was never really an agreement for him to come in for a trial. There were some conversations but nothing concrete
Chicago and Columbus are bringing in some talent (Chicago-Collins John, Col-Sergio Herrara), I'm getting concerned about what we're bringing in.
Looks like Dickovs back for another trial... (according to Luke Wilemans tweet)
he's back..........

Potentially, I don't think Dickov to TFC is a horrible move. 37's kind of long in the tooth, in football terms, but it's not like he whole team's full of 30+ players. I wonder why the club's coy about some of the no names they've got coming in, but tweeting about Dickov? He's on TFC TV now too.

I dont want crazy people, Id rather not bring in an aging big name and instead have someone who was responsible with how they played.

I had the very same thought after I stumbled onthe TFC TV interview on his trial.
But, He could just be looking for a couple of weeks in Florida on the house over the winter.
