    Did his quality change or was it the quality of his opposition?

    I read the discussion in the other thread and people seem positive toward this. Is there actual substance to this rumor or is it just speculation?

    If we're bringing guys back, based on 2005 accomplishments, and what they did in Peru.....is Mista available? Carlos Ruiz?

    well, Vitti played 32 games in 2010, scoring 15 goals for Universitad San Martin in Peruvian first division. he's only got 2 goals in 16 for Universitario, but this may partly be due to him not getting paid by Universitario

    Is he going to be able to deal with the physicality of this league?

    I said no, for the record, wasn't able to deal with it last time. Doubt things have changed.

    I said yes,I would like to see him play in our new adopted system.We need a winger and he would be a good option,in my opinion.

    I voted yes. I saw him play in the Copa Sudamericana not too long ago. Looked not bad. Has there been some change on this front? How did we go from a line in a Peruvian newspaper report to being "heavily linked"? Remember when he got a yellow for celebrating an off-side goal. Classic TFC blooper, up there with Pozniak's missed diving header, and Carl Robinson's goal celebration, and the Andy Welsh face plant.

    He looked bad in a longball system. But so did JDG. I expect that under Winter we would see him improve even more than JDG did.

    and Tchani being ejected for celebrating a goal, Yourass being sent off for taking too long to get off the pitch... Nick Garcia in general...

    Lulz, nothing changed, just that one line and speculation about his club owing him money. Though someone can try going to the source

    Toronto FC: Pablo Vitti sounds to return to Canada

    The midfielder would offer to get back the scarlet shirt.

    The Toronto FC and works for the next season. The team led by Aron Winter, just open the window passes, began tracking players who could become reinforcements for the 2012 season. One of these is an old friend, Argentine Pablo Vitti.

    El Rosario is currently playing for Universitario of Peru, where there has been a good step. To make matters worse, the club owes a large sum of money.

    According to Depor.pe , the supply of Canadians would be "very good" and the player would be very interested in accepting it, but first want to collect the debt the club owes him, consisting of six months salary and part of its pass. Vitti, 26, rose from the lower Rosario Central and has played in Independiente, Banfield , Chernomorets of Ukraine and Universidad San Martin . In the 2009 season wore the uniform of Toronto, with whom he played 26 matches and scored two goals.

    said yes, dont think he got a proper go the first time around as he was playing in a diff style/structure and we had the wrong expectations of him, i do think he'd do well to fit in our new system with these players, i wouldnt take him for more than 200k (even then at that number id be a bit hesitant)

    Not only that I remember 1 single moment of magic between him and JDG, just after JDG was signed that was pure football magic. I think pablo would thrive in this system. I just don't think he is worth what he was getting before (if i correctly remember it being around the $200,000 mark). The price would have to be right as well given the cap.

    Hahahahha, what are the chances. I really chuckled out loud reading this.

    It's intriguing. I do think Winter can make more of him than last time 'round.

    That goal.com page is just taking quotes from the original Peruvian article. Nothing new there.

    Pablo Vitti, your number 8 has been taken! Guess you'll wear 10 now?

    I remember that too. It was the best 5 seconds of football we have ever played.

    Kind of indifferent on this one. Some players do excel when they play on a team very system based. That is what TFC are trying to do. When he was here before we had no real system or style to speak of.

    I guess he couldn't do any worse than he did before.

    Vitti again with TFC under Winter's system?

    well, let me think...

    Ummmm....

    YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!

    Him with Plata plus Koevs as the poacher would be terrific upfront!!!

    As long as he comes at a good price...the potential was always there. Worst case he becomes another Zavarise that comes in here and there when the starters get really banged up. We will always have a few of those on the team. As long as he doesn't ride the pine for alot of money...then I would be upset. Mista anyone...

    Mista? Really?

    Let's set this story STRAIGHT.

    Miguel Mista played 9 games for Toronto FC.

    The first 3 games he was out of form.
    The fifth game, he and Preki got into an altercation in the locker room.

    The remaining games he was used sparingly, or was "injured" before being released.
    Mista is the silent DP Amado Guevara. He came, Preki and him got into a fight, and he left.

    I blame Preki more than Mista for the whole ordeal. Mista only came here because de Guzman talked him into it anyways. In the end of the day, he saw how bush league Preki was running things and didn't want to be here anymore.

    Meanwhile, we all thought he was shit, when in reality, he had less of a chance to show what he's capable of than freaking MIKAEL YOURASSOWSKY.

    AND...in that time, he scored against the toughest team we've ever played a competitive match again, Cruz Azul.

    imagine if tfc put johnson, avila, JDG in this peruvian team, u think they would score 15 goals as attacking midfielders? i doubt it, but this guy has changed recently and he fits in winters sytem too. im sure he will have a great season with tfc!
