Ream was due at the Hawthorns on loan, but is on trial at Bolton, instead. With Cahill almost certain to leave in January, Bolton are weighing up a £3million bid for the 24-year old.
This shows that there is an active market for MLS players in English football. Can Frei be far behind, especially given his passport?

Interesting quote from Winter:
After all of the worry yesterday that they weren't going to address the back, we see some clarity. He's being very nice about it (he's not saying that the current players are crap), but he's clearly planning to do something about it. He also thinks that he doesn't have "good players in each position.""In the midfield and the front, we have a lot of players but in the back, if someone is unavailable than I have problems. That's the thing I want to tackle. Having good players in each position allows there to be competition and get those results. That's what I want."

Defense is the one area that almost every team complains about.

So TFC is in the lottery today for Lee Nguyen. Don't know anything about him. Anyone know much about him?
Sorry this is a bit off-topic but how exactly did Nicholas Lindsay injure himself? Paul Mariner seemed as if he was upset at Lindsay's actions in his interview the other day, and I can't find anything telling me the reason/cause of injury.
I believe it was a snowmobile accident last Winter.
I've read both a snowmobile accident and/or slipped on ice at home...
Ninja attack

Looks right up our street. He's connected with Ajax, played for PSV and he's listed as midfielder and striker.
Please tell me "word on the street" means something other than Canary10's misconstruing of the MLS Insider page yesterday...and if so, what?
Good luck to Mike Toshack
He was a good keeper coach.
Brought Frei and Kocic a long way.
Good luck with the Timbers, except when your facing the mighty RED's...
The 1998 Chicago Fire squad might have something to say about that...

El Presidente Phil about to be on air
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Ha! Funny how things spread on social media!
In the fall of 2008, Stewart Neely and wife looked at our house in Oakville, prior to us moving out to Cambridge.
When we spoke, he said he was coming to TFC as an assistant keeper coach. We had a good chat, as I mentioned being in RPB and being a SSH.
This was a job offered to him by Mojo at the time
Somehow, it never transpired at the time. Something about needing wife to get work permit as well.. (probably and assistant keeper coach wasn't going to earn all that much) and they were never able to do it, or decided against coming because she couldn't get one.
It's kind of strange that now, three years later he finds his way here, when we have a completely different management / coaching staff.
