Good luck Carl. All the best in New Jersey
Robbo to NYRB
Good luck Carl. All the best in New Jersey
WTF? source?
What did we get for him?
I just found one: http://threefourthreefc.wordpress.co...r-draft-picks/
Not sure about credibility
Troll perhaps?
^ No, I don't think so.
Well then we need a source, otherwise it's just talk
From Carl's twitter yesterday...might be a clue:
Beautiful day!!!!!!! about 22 hours ago via web
looks like he's in a fight with Dichio based on some other tweets..\
- @DannyDichio Do me a favour please!!!! Never repeat that stupid statement again... 11:27 AM Feb 22nd via web in reply to DannyDichio

Me troll? Pal I've been here since day 1. You guys should know by now, Rico don't need no proof.
Sorry man, I didn't mean to offend you or anything
Would be nice if you could at least share how you know...no names needed of course.
Ugh. Hungover and gotta go to work. In a couple months it'll be hungover and gotta go to TFC
Looks like this is happening (from a pretty solid source).
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Draft picks though? lame
I'm sorry to hear that...
Talking in the 3rd person is usually pretty strange, but typing in the 3rd person is worse.(lol just kidding)
as for Robinson story... deal is rumored to be Robinson to NYRB in exchange for a 2nd round pick.
will have to see.
if this indeed is in place then TFC should have no difficulty signing any trialists even before the CBA is signed, as this would remove another 300K off the books. I know they already removed a lot from the books (Vitti, for example) but some of that may have been paid for by long-since spent allocation -- not cap -- money. Carl's is probably 300K directly against the cap.
I don't know if I am happy or sad about this.
1. We gain $300K in cap space
2. Less defensive midfielders competing for playing time
3. We are losing a warrior, great character guy
4. Don't like that he is going to NYRB...Its gonna be even tougher to beat them now
I don't know if we can even claim #1 is true. I think we blew our allocation last year and now we have to get back under the cap.

Toronto FC parted ways w/ Carl Robinson, who I hear is going on trial w/ RBNY. NY would have likely have to deal TFC something 4 his rights
Im sad to see him go but i do think it was necessary and time, we'd better see some bloody GOOD signings soon (also im not psyched on the draft pick nonsense but whatever)
based on last year's salaries, we have 19 players under contract with a total cap use of $2.164M (this includes Robbo's salary).
Oh how I hope this is true. I also really hope that it means his salary comes off the books.
I wonder why there aren't a bunch of MLS teams lining up to pay 300k to "one of the best DM's in the entire league"?
Pffft.....now we'll see what his true value is. Let's see where Robbo ends up, how much he gets paid, and how much he plays. (oh, and how many POTY awards he wins)
good luck robbo..
maybe we will get confirmation from tfc by weds or thurs.
wtf does the front office do anyway,its not like they have to sell tickets or anything.
So does this mean if he doesn't stick with NYRBs, his salary is still on our books?
callitfootball
As has been told to me: Carl Robinson will trial with New York - if he sticks, Toronto FC gets draft picks in exchange for his rights
It's going to leave a serious hole both in out starting 11 and in the locker room.
I'm glad for Robbo that he gets to play in NJ at that new stadium instead of somewhere like KC or Columbus.
Really sucks, Robbo should have finished his career here.
Cue the Green Day song.
huh? the thing just happened seconds ago and you're demanding confirmation on a saturday at noon? Sheesh!
If you've been watching TFC TV you'll see lots of content, and even a recent video update on players from Luke Wileman.

Red Bulls considered Robinson deal last year. could be good addition if inexpensive + fit. Osorio questioned fitness before passing on deal
