    ugh, bleacher report articles are the worst!
    im sorry, i can only see a fixed number ridiculous transfer rumour posts before i call it a day. if you saw the "10 bold predictions for the toronto vs LA game" article you get what im talking about. i was the guy who commented "NONE OF THESE ARE PREDICTIONS! YOURE JUST SAYING THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE!" about highlights of his article that included "robbie keane will be on the prowl" or "passing will be key"

    i actually think the guy who wrote it deleted the article. sorry, end BR rant. back on topic.

    Honestly think the best move would be dump JDG and bring in a DP CB. That improves the backline (should we choose well) and frees up Frings to move back to the midfield.

    We can't dump JDG, the window to release him passed in the off-season, he gets to finish out his contract now.

    I don't think there ever was a backup plan for this. At least not for this year. Unless you count Dunfield as the backup plan.

    I don't think ANY football team has a backup plan for losing their BEST player. Even the best teams in the world don't usually cope with losing their number one star for a month . Man Utd may have Hernandez, Berb, and Welbeck, but none of them make up for the loss of Rooney ever. And just look at Chelsea when Terry is injured....they have good CB's to cover, but none of them are as good as Terry.

    I don't think it would ever be possible to be totally prepared for the loss of Frings - unless we had a superstar in reserve, which just isn't possible in a league where you can only have 2 or 3 DP's.

    You can effectively put someone on a DP pre-contract (like Seattle did with Rosales - no way that guy signs any contract for 40k).

    Year one - earns wage
    year two + after - earns DP money

    There are actually all kinds of creative ways to use this in order to get around the salary cap.

    ^^ Good point. TFC could still theoretically be active in attempting to lure a DP to Toronto during the summer transfer window by utilizing that creative approach.

    Personally, I would argue that Silva is an upgrade as an attacking mid.

    Kinda hard for him when none of the wingers refused to track back on defense to help out the fullbacks. James was utter shite. Case in point, Teibert looked a lot better when El-Masri came on.

    Hearing that they are also looking at this Uruguyan Defender - Gaston Pagano. He's also free and played in the same league as MArtin Bonjour who signed in vancouver and they are 3 GP with 0 GA.

    I know exactly what he means. I am illustrating if I can find them then this team is deficent and instead if the so called supporters spending more time disapproving/discouraging one another

    and more time pressuring the organization. We'd get better results!


    I come around from time to time. and all I read is sarcasm, defeatism, scepticism and excuses.

    The dutch player I suggested would probably do well in our system because he has the technical ability and knowledge of our system........but I iam wasting time

    Rumours swirling about a possible trade for a defender from Los Angeles.

    Hearing Luis Silva being mentioned...

    Yup, it's official, Luis Silva and Joao Plata have been traded to Los Angeles Galaxy.

    Still waiting for details on what we traded for but it's a defender, apparently.

    Last year, De Rosario was traded on April Fools day, so we can't be 100% sure about anything in this league, unfortunately

    Looks like it's Plata, Silva and an international slot for Omar Gonzales.

    I think this is april fools crap, but Gonzalez is injured and won't be available until like summer, and he's got like one year on his contract or something and likely go to Europe after
