I think this is disgraceful and another poor showing from Winter and co
DEAL WITH IT!! lol
He may be back someday but he clearly couldn't work here. Good luck to him everywhere except against us.

Dunfield and Harmse shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. While I don't think he is the second coming, he is definitely a solid holding midfielder by MLS standards with an offensive upside as well.

It says Winter called him a few minutes later. In this age of social media, it doesn't necessarily mean Winter took a long time to inform him.

REally like Gordon, I feel its a loss, even if he has health issues.
all other. . prob get banned for over celbrating after giving a thumbs up sign near a camera.
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
If I was to guess, I would guess that Sturgis will be gone as part of this. He still has some sort of value, and he is a domestic player. Probably get a small allocation for him.

Winter is rolling out his 2-5-2-1 system
Why should Cronin get to know before the player himself? I don't like the way they've treated Nana since they came in
Molinaro: Just got off phone with Earl Cochrane. Told me he could talk about Nana in about an hour, so expect formal team announcement soon.

I agree. Winter is obviously got his fingers in many different pies at the moment. I'm sure he waited for it to be official with the league before calling Nana, while Cronin could have known prior to it being official.
can they just tell us the news
WTF
It's July 14 folks. Remember that.
Yourassowsky is a LB naturally. I think he might move back there now.
Union rep?
Why is it that under Mo previously and under Winter now, we've always been so overweight on midfielders?
Except for Gerba, when we were overweight on forwards! Badum-tish! Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.
minutes could be 2 mins. It's not that improbable in this tweetality we live in. Hell it could be as simple as
In Toronto-Get Nana on the phone...
In SJ- Tell Cronin his buddy's coming...
Tweet wins the race every time.

Pieces of #(%&# s#it! That's how they conduct business, TEXT MESSAGES! MLS should REALLY put a stop to that! RIDICULOUS!
many forget this
I think Winter forgot to add the "416" in front of the number and Sam had him on speed dial.
Blame San Jose's coach for inappropriately spilling the beans. Has nothing to do with Winter.
Another possibility.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

official now for dunfield
In this age of social media, somebody from TFC should be a calling a traded player the second it happens, exactly so that this doesn't happen. It can be a flunky who says "Aron's busy, he'll call in a bit, but here's what's up".

Not in the slightest and I've been a big proponent of them aside from their dealings with Nana
realy that was sam cronin,
it does say winter called him on the phone
Not surprised.
I commented on this when Mike Richards found out he was been traded to LA Kings from ESPN twitter feed.
Social media moves way faster than teams. Because of the need to one up every one, media outlets will report on a deal before it's apparently signed off on.
I've seen it happen with teams I've been involved with. Team informs agent that they're moving their player... need to waive some clause. Agent says it won't be a problem. Teams calls back other team and says it shouldn't be a problem. In the meantime people talk and news gets out that a deal is done. etc.
In a lot of cases, the player is the last guy to find out... In the past, this all would happen away from prying eyes... so the player would have no clue and the team would inform him.
I don't know why more and more people are surprised.

Cronin's team was party to the trade. He could have tweeted Nana before it was technically even official.
