    Welcome to the board, Toronto! I see your making friends already.

    PS: Saying TFC fans only watch the Premier League is the biggest crock of shit I've heard in a while. I would love to know how he came up with that gem.

    That said, if he came here I'd be FURIOUS. 2-3 years ago it'd have been awesome for Del Piero to come. I don't think he has much left to give at this point
    It would be criminal and I can totally see it happening. I hope the fan bases around the league raise hell about it. This is insane.

    I'd take Di Vaio over Johnson in a second. I realize most Toronto supporters don't watch anything but the EPL, (YA they scream lets sign Robbie Cocaine Fowler!"-- what's Italy? ) but imagine Danny Murphy Captain of Fulham age 35 signing with us to replace JDG. We'd have a fucking parade down Queen Street.

    BTW how old is Frings again? He's way to old to be playing MLS...lol

    There is more to soccer than the EPL....

    "Toronto" you're going to need to have a look around to get a feel for support in this city, and this league. Most of us (in the entire league) did not grow up with MLS therefore we all have our foreign preferences. You'll find entire sections devoted to different nation's leagues and to pigeonhole all TFC support as one type of support is making sweeping statements and makes one look uninformed. Try to avoid that.

    As to diversity, I can attest that TFCs fanbase is one of the most diverse and it's easy to see why when one looks at the make up of the city itself.

    And we aren't 0-10.

    Can't find it yet on any English-language websites, but it's being widely reported in the Italian media today that the Impact could be close to a deal with Del Piero. It's enough to make me sick.

    http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/cal...enta+Del+Piero

    Kind of a loose rumour, basically at the World Regions Forum in Milano a delegate from Quebec claimed that the Impact have a deal with Del Piero. I'd imagine one of the parties will probably say something in response to the story at some point today.

    Fuck me if this happens. Year one and they land a better DP than we've ever even considered.

    Use whatever edge you have. I wonder if Montreal fans will complain the team is too Italian the way we heard so many complaints here about being too UK-centered?

    I doubt it if the complaints are based on corradi...di vaio and dep Piero.

    All three of those guys are head and shoulders about any uk players we've seen at TFC. Lol

    Corradi better than Dichio? - not from what I've seen of him.

    Very close. Lol. Either way. Splitting hairs.

    Adding divaio and delpiero would dwarf anything we've done.

    I hate to make comparisons to the most cherished player in club history, but in all honestly Dichio's thing was that he put his all-in week after week. I don't know how one can come to the conclusion he's a better player than Corradi though.

    Edit: maybe as Voodoodaddy has point out, they could be considered very close to say the least. The one thing I would say about Corradi from watching him is that he's still a little bit more mobile than Dichio and technically very apt.

    And to put together a good team, I don't think any Impact fans would complain that Ferrari and Corradi haven't been worth it. We'll see what Di Vaio does for them.

    If that's the case MLS has officially become the make it up as you go along league. The Robbie keane thing last year was rediculous enough as it was... How do they explain this?

    I don't think I'd call them a success yet, but it's a decent start. I find it interesting that an owner is actively leveraging his profile to attract players and make connections.

    What are the TFC "scouts" doing to help us? Our track record at finding talent is beyond terrible.

    I've only been following this league since TFC joined, but it was already the "make it up as you go" league then. Any teams' owners could push the league for rule changes to get what they want, it's just it's always the same ones doing the pushing, it seems.

    I try hard not to be so judgmental about this league since i rarely ever watched it before Toronto got a team. I'm almost at a loss for words with this. Making it up as they go is right on.
