Footyblog DP rumor
Anyone hear anything substantial on the supposed DP rumor on the Score's footyblog? The rumor is the paperwork for a second DP in Toronto has been signed and it is a former Italian International, Del Piero perhaps? I'd be shocked if it was so, but it certainly would make things exciting at the Stadium if it was him? Who would they bench, White I guess to make room for Del Piero. It might save Mo's bacon! Has anyone heard anything credible on this front?
Seems to originate from the 24th minute....

Perhaps this rumor is true if MLS used Andrea Bargnani as someone who could sell the City of Toronto to Del Piero who was rumored to be going to New York?
Del Piero? I have never heard any indication of him possibly coming to MLS
(I am being facetious).
No way. Too good to be true. I'd take Del Piero over Henry, more my style of player.
I'd probably pass out if Del Piero were to sign for TFC, although I think he's going to retire with Juventus.
I can picture it now......."De Rosario to Barrett, Barrett passes to Del Piero"
IMO Del Piero would fill more seats in Toronto than Henry would. Regardless if it's just a rumor...still fun to talk about it
I also hate DP rumors because my heart just skipped a beat. White would come off the bench and TFC would be a much better team.
Perhaps Del Piero will be convinced by coach Preki's ability to turn this team around?
Del Piero comes to Toronto, we make the MLS Cup in Toronto.....(I'm fainting here, I need to sit down.....)
I agree. Also, next year is Juve's new stadium opening. I'm sure he won't want to miss that even if Juve put him on the bench.Originally Posted by kitchener-TFC
ADP would be more a scalpers dream than a fans dream as well.
Can someone get Billy some water!!!
We'll just "loan" him back Beckham style.
Something about too good to be true.... LOL
As usual, I'll wait for the 'official' word before discussing further.
I mentioned ADP as a possible DP last year...it would be crazy if it actually came through.
How many of Barret's chances on the weekend would have been buried if they landed on Del Piero's feet instead of Barret? (By the way I do like Barrett he serves his role and plays his ass off which I respect, if everyone on the team played as hard as Barrett does we'd be in great shape.)
You and half the Italian population on this board.
10 in 26 games in 09/10. He would eat MLS defenders alive! Although, Dero will not be happy, as we all know, he wants to be the DP.
Del Piero will be playing in Toronto with Juventus tonight at the Rogers Centre, perhaps they will announce his signing at half time or something and shock us all. There will be Mo Johnston, Preki and their new scout Jim Brennen. Jim Brennen will take credit for making this happen! I can see it now...
Meh..Yah, I guess this rumors are "timely" given today's game.
However, I doubt they are anything beyond rumors (http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/21...ises-ahead-of-). If they're just waiting on the international transfer paper-work, then it should just be a matter of hours/day max before they can announce it no?

He said: "Definitely next season, I'll wear the Juventus jersey again. Then, we will see. Everything can happen.

How about Del Piero gets hurt at tonight's game and then the deal is off. Mo then says "We had something but it fell thru..."

Does it sound like he is saying good by to the Juventus fans???
Dear God, I know we dont talk alot anymore, but can you make this happen for us? I wont ask for anything ever again, I promise!!! Amen.
Ya and while your at it go to the Rogers Centre tonight and watch the supposed future TFC player Del Piero play his Serie A foes.
BUY A TICKET
I nearly fell out of my chair when I read the article just now. That move would be off the charts and seems "more real" as the 24th minute doesn't usually report just any garbage. It's going to be tough telling myself this isn't going to happen to keep my hopes down. *Shakes fist at Duane*
P.S. Insert here the required "he'd tear MLS a new one" comment.
I do not listin to rumors and nothing can save Mo's bacon
Heart fluttering? Fainting? You guys are a bunch of teenage girls!!
Or a bunch of guys that wanna see our team win.
This doesn't sound like a quote from someone saying goodbye, in fact, sounds to me like he's saying he'll be back with a vengeance.
"The past season was a disaster. Now we want to rest and then restart so we can live next season as protagonists," he told Tuttosport.
ADP would be nice, I'll believe it if I see him holding up the jersey.
The rumour maybe around since he is in town: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/stor...iorentina.html
That being said, it would be a sensible move, if possible because (1) it would appeal to Eurosnobs, who don't seem to know JDG that well (2) We need firepower up front.
Maybe our DP is Dickov? That would be much more likely. Of course, he doesn't play for Juve, but who knows how accurate the rumour is?

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
