Montreal Impact, as Steve Goff, are making a big push for Michael Ballack.
SoccerInsider Steven Goff
One contact says perhaps 90% chance Ballack signs in Montreal. But as we know, these things are always fluid and complicated
Hate that the dick will get to play in a much nicer stadium.Originally Posted by reggie
Would (read: should) be a great signing if they could pull it off...oh wait, he doesn't speak French.

So two players we traded away last season (Santos, Peterson) are no longer with the teams we traded with, while their counterparts are still here (Avila, Johnson). That's good trading.
^ Nana Attakora's gone too.

I really hope they waste a dp spot on him, he is fucken brutal!!!! MERDA!!!!
It's amazing to me that this dude has lasted as a pro this long. Julius James as well.
Yeah, Philly is deep everywhere plus a good home field advantage.
As explained above there is a big difference in quality between an ex-Rangers star and Scotland international and somebody like Kenny Deuchar or Collin Samuel, who would be League Two or maybe even Blue Square Conference level players in an English context. Can't quite picture Boyd playing in Houston in the middle of summer though. Unlike Mo Johnston, who was definitely one of the main reasons the KC Wizards won MLS Cup in 2000, he isn't exactly famed for his work rate.
supposedly also talking to scheisse Ballack
I liked Santos. Santos made a lot of nice plays here and scored quite a few goals. Winter didn't rate him (and bizarrely used him as an AM), fine. I don't get why every last ex player is a stiff around here.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
^ I REALLY disliked Santos. But your point about people turning on players when they leave is bang on. I don't know why we do that so much.
Agreed.
If anything, TFC supporters should appreciate the fact that Santos, despite his deficiencies, had a very effective strike rate with our club.
Santos may have been a stiff on all the other clubs he's played for throughout his career, but his level of production was quite impressive during his tenure in Toronto, and it allowed TFC management to parlay him as an asset for a promising young attacking midfielder in Avila.
I wish Santos all the best with DC, except when he plays against us.
Watch it, he may make you eat your words. As long as he has someone who can feed him good crosses, he will place the ball in the net, and/or draw the foul, in which case Montreal will need someone who can take great free kicks.

Agreed 100%. I respected him greatly when he was here. I mean, the guy was our captain for a bit too. I was upset to see him underutilized throughout the season, but I understood the necessity of it. I wish him all the best.
Because this city has been loosing so much we are starving for a winner. Doesn't matter what sport. We can't stand to see success elsewhere while our Toronto teams wallow in the abyss.
Got to applaud them. No fear and going after the names without making excuses.
Luca Toni would be perfect for Montreal...
...well, actually, perfect for Toronto FC if you think about it
RW Danny Cruz traded to DC United.
Good pick up for DC. Cruz started soccer late, and he's one of those players who would be one of best players in MLS if he started much earlier

According to Ives, Carl Robinson has joined the coaching staff in Vancouver:
Former Toronto FC and New York Red Bulls midfielder Carl Robinson has joined Martin Rennie's coaching staff in Vancouver as an assistant.
Robinson, a former Welsh international, retired after this past season, his fifth in MLS. That followed a 12-year career in England.
"I am thrilled about this new opportunity to continue my career in the sport I love," Robinson said in a team statement. "I have known for a long time that once I was done playing, I would transition to a coaching role."
I hope Robbo finds a head coaching gig somewhere.

Me too, I think Robbo was one of the more classier former TFC players.

Jarju was dumped by Vancouver. hahahahah. What a joke that signing was. Tom Soehn is an idiot. I think everyone was like "Who?" when he was signed.

Nothing says "trouble" than a player who drifts from club to club, Ali Gerba-like.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

Maybe, and I hated him here as much as anyone... but the guy went on to win the Golden Boot (for the second time). The truth is TFC was the bigger effing mess at the time. It's great that we seemed to have turned a corner. Seems like the difference between night and day compared to the Mo regime.
A year of experience for Winter managing and Winter and Mariner working together and the semblance of a decent team already are also good signs.
