When does the transfer window open? I read July 15th, is it really that far away? It think a DP center back was in order before the injury.

Well, Nana is going to have to step up. Forget about not playing, forget about any rift with Winter. Nana has to take his chance. As a player on the outs this is how you play yourself back into the team. Take your opportunity and give Winter a selection headache when there are other options in the backline.
Terrible news. Although I really feel Nana should be able to step right in. Replacing Harden will continue to be the problem.
Nana is just fine, he is still the clubs best young talent. I feel bad for Cann, his career is probably over. I feel worse for us because this means Gargan plays.
I guess we'll find out fairly quickly whether Winter was justified in putting Nana on the bench, the guy is going to get some playing time now. I think the loss of Cann is going to be a bigger hole to fill than some think.
No pun intended, but I hope TFC does not use injuries as a crutch to write off this season.
Not to worry. No need. They have a million excuses already.Originally Posted by mastermixer

It's July 1st.
Its July 15th: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window
But you can sign free agents immediately. But a lot of European players have contracts that technically end on June 30th.
The transfer date for every major European league is July 1st to August 31st. July 15th might be a MLS date, but I'm 100% sure that the transfer window in England, Spain, Italy etc is July 1st.
Zero chance Cann is done professionally. The guy is absolutely fanatical about fitness, almost to the point of OCD. He will do what it takes to rehab and play again.
TFC want him off the "books" , so he became injured....frees up a roster spot...
I'd seriously take a look at Omphroy......screw it lets have some fun ......the years seriously in jeopardy........use every kid we can and make some decisions whether they fit or not, and lets get that #1 draft pick.......... is it Saad?
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
It's not about fitness, it's about losing a step of speed, losing some explosiveness. No matter how hard you train sometimes you just can't get that back. Thats how knee injuries derail even the best athletes, not just the lazy ones. Hope Cann is able to fully recover
It's hard to be impressive from the bench.
It's too bad it's happened now of all times with Williams off to the Gold Cup. I would have liked to see him and Nana pair together. Williams was lost out there with Harden, and it would've been nice to see them together sometime before Late June/July.
from the games he actually played, geez roogs, lol
I still think Nana being on the bench has more to do with this contract than with his play. he was solid last year, and a player doesn't just lose his ability to this extend at his age and stage in his career.
Nana hasn't really had much playing time so that is an unfair statement, he can't do much worse than harden, remember for the last few years Nana was the most dependable defender we had, I hope it pans out for him. I hope Cann has a speedy recovery.
WTF??? Are you saying Winter & TFC WANTED him injured????
Not a great season for Cann. Contract dispute and then this...
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
the public apology, the left back experiment and some bruised ribs in between all that.
a very rough year.
I'm not too devastated by this news. Cann seems like a great person and a great rep for TFC, but he was one of the better players on a horrible team. Not much more than that. Sure we could use him right now, but in the bigger picture I think we could do better at his position.
In order to find an immediate replacement fo Cann on the backline, Perhaps Paul Mariner can acquire a relatively inexpensive, serviceable central defender within MLS via trade. I'm not familiar enough with other MLS club roster situations to make a particular suggestion, but if there are a few clubs with a surplus of decent central defenders, perhaps a 2nd or 3rd round pick might be a worthy sacrifice to fill the void in the interim.

I wonder if we could trade Sturgis for the type of guy you talk of?
Or is that just wishful thinking?
Long term, I think that could also be a viable option. Although I think Sturgis will be relied on heavily in JDG's absence during the Gold Cup.
agreed
put out a few young kids and let them learn.
the season is crap shoot already
With Adrian Cann gone for the year I started to think about the Voyageurs Cup replay match on July 2nd and if Adrian's injury would impact that game. If I understood what the CSA stated in the press conference after the game was called off last week they said that each club would have to use the 18 man rosters that both clubs had originally used last for the replay game on July 2nd.
And now Cann being out for the season could potentially cut TFC's roster for that match to seventeen.
I contacted the club about this one. They coaches and players all have the day off today and the CSA guys are somewhat busy with the Canada Ecuador game. I was told I would get an answer to this by tomorrow at the latest.
Stay tuned.
