    Mo says they're looking to sign a "wide" player, so there you have it.

    Stack that midfield, keep playing that Garcia. That's the way to win.

    All jokes of: "A Brazilian, an Englishman and a Turk walk into Mo's office..." aside, I think we definitely could use another wide player as we only really have Peterson and LaBrocca. Others who might play in those areas are converts only.

    Surely mo must be looking for anyone who is naturally left sided to balance out the midfield or replace Garcia at left back ??

    As far as i can recon the only proper left footed player TFC have ever had are Brennan,Welsh and Gala...

    Default If I had a dollar for every time I heard this one...

    If I only had a dollar for every time I heard that one.... Mo Johnston comments on the potential signing of a "wing player". Comments always welcome.

    http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2010/07/if-i-had-a-dollar-for-every-time-i-heard-this-one/
    ____________________________________

    In one of his periodical trips up from his bunker at the undisclosed location, TFC Director of Soccer Mo Johnston is saying to GOL TV that there is talks of a "...wing player..." on the way to Toronto FC in the next week or so. Whether he is talking about a fullback that can get forward or a true winger that can play out on the flanks to link up the midfielders and strikers of course remains to be seen. Whether a signing even takes place remains to be seen as well, especially considering Mo's proven track record of not exactly being as clear and forthright as he could be in his time here.

    I think I have heard this kind of thing before. It sounds like what I like to call "Vu-Ja-De", which of course is "déjà-vu" all over again.

    The other issue of course here is subtraction before addition. Toronto FC is now carrying pretty much a full roster and is by most calculations hard up against the cap. I guess that bringing in someone new means that TFC must let at least one player on the current roster go. Raivis Hscanovics must be on the bubble considering he makes a tidy pay packet (100k + I believe) and hardly gets on the pitch these days. Nick Garcia, also highly compensated and prone unfortunately to some pretty horrible gaffes this season, is probably at least being considered for trade or release in this scenario as well (and if not he bloody well should be).

    A good friend of mine almost always says in these circumstances that he does not believe anything until he sees the new player actually holding up the strip on the team website before he believes any kind of rumours like this. I think, again based on Mo's track record, I am not going to hold my breath. It'll either happen or not happen. So be it.

    And for a man living deep underground in some secret facility away from the difficult questions and prying eyes of the Toronto media, Mo is looking pretty nicely tanned isn’t he??? Maybe he has just been on another "Brazilian scouting trip".

    I've given up hope of him ever signing a true left winger!

    This club is still useless at getting to the byline and crossing the ball, they make it far too easy for defenders by being too narrow in their approach. It's so much easier to defend when your back's to goal.

    I was always surprised there was not more of a stink for him leaving. Maybe it's because he was coming off an injury, so we weren't used to having him around. Maybe I'm just misremembering...

    Mo Johnston says a lot of things that are absolute rubbish. I'm going to wait and see on this one.

    I didn't think Ent was that bad.. looks like he can deliver good crosses from the wings..

    I'm so tempted to add a reference to Lord of the Rings..

    Did he say hes "lookin at a couple of guys"?

    I have no interest in the nonsense that spews from his mouth. His word really doesnt mean anything at this point.

    Based on what I saw last evening I would not be surprised if it is Ent. He definitely has that "Dutch winger" style of play and is definitely pacey.

    I think it was because he left at the end of season.
