The reality is, New York will always be more of a draw than Toronto.
That doesn't mean we can't get world class players here. The Bizzard did that in their day.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Scheisse! Can't we get him? If he's willing to go to a team that already has 3 DPs, could that mean he's not looking for DP money?
Angel won't be resigning with new york, replace him with frings then u got a dp defender, midfielder, and striker
Bremen would be crazy not to keep him but that would suck balls if he went to New York. I'd love to see him play but not for any other team than us. Interesting.Originally Posted by ACSertL
Don't you thinkt that would depend on if they win it all or not?
Shoot...it's quite obvious NYRB is trying to unseat LA as the marquee franchise in MLS. If they manage to put a decent team together by adding someone like Frings and compete in the CCL, you could see a team like this go to the Club World Cup and really make news.
If the player wants to leave at the end of his contract then there isn't a whole lot Bremen can do. Werder were crazy for letting Özil go to Real Madrid but if the player wants to leave than so be it.

And the fact remains in spite of being in the twilight of his career, Torsten Frings would still be more than a serviceable footballer.
If this deal does come to fruition then for TFC's sake I hope Frings' career in NY is as good as Matthäus' was

NYRB vs. the European and South American champs? That would be Don Garber's dream. Think of the $$$$$ and exposure for the league.

I still don't know how they are they managing to have 3 DPs and still sign good enough players to provide a complete team. I understand that they have allocation money from finishing dead last, but that runs out next year, no? Will be interesting to see how they can squeeze in under the cap...
It would be cool if he came to MLS, hopefully not New York though. He was never my favourite Mannschaft player, and I don't think he would fit here. I dont watch the Pnik Cows play that often, but isn't Marquez playing Defensive midfield for them?
p.s. I will never forget this.
Though that had more to do with the set-up then anything else

Garber will find a way to make it happen.
So did Metros-Croatia.
There are no excuses for TFC.
As a long time Bremen supporter, itd break my heart.
Was denken sie Torsten?!
Pretty much but he can and does play two ways/box to box, that being said i dont think theres a place for him in their mid unless hes benched or they bench Rafa
^That won't be happening.
Werewolf...signing Frings would give NYRB the ability to move Marquez to CB
Where he is most effective when playing for Mexico.
I know they could, but it would seem silly to have so much money in the defensive part of the formation.

Sorry, but I would rather have Del Piero over Frings. Too bad MLSE wouldn't buy a 3rd DP (JDG is under contract for one more year and DeRo will be making DP money next season).
Isn't Del Piero 80 years old?
He's been slated to come to the MLS for the last 5 seasons...
He's going to retire in Italy.
Why wont MLSE buy a 3rd DP?
If anything they will be, it just wont be Frings as we have a dearth of players in that position (sadly none of them Frings)
Del Piero is couple years older than Frings, plus TFC needs star power and offensive minded players.
Del Piero is a free agent in the summer.

Based on what?
How much does 3rd DP cost to buy btw?
Based on the fact we just came off a 4th season in whihc we didnt make the playoffs, season tickets are down etc etc (have you been reading the paper?)
you pay 250k to the league and i believe its 150K against the cap (feel free to correct me if im wrong)
Granted i dont think they will hire just anyone which is fine by me
Yeah I have been reading the paper so far seems like they want to invest in their FO. I guess we have to wait for new GM to know if MLSE wants to spend more money or not.
absoutely, what im suggesting is they wouldnt hesitate to pull the trigger should a 3rd DP arrive
Can't we get a bargain like Joel Lindpere? Those are the players that end up being the backbone of a MLS squad.
TFC still needs to build a TEAM instead of worrying about getting DP's.
I fully support the movement of increasing the number of Estonian players on TFC.
