I don't think we can just "cut" JDG as special rules apply for DPs (obviously we'd just pay him to stay home, nobody is taking that contact on) - don't DPs have to do be cut in the offseason?

yes, for guaranteed contracts (which I'm going to guess all DP contracts are). you can cut anyone during the season. it's just you're still on the hook for their salary. unless you're on a semi guaranteed contractOriginally Posted by ensco

Soumare would be a very nice aquisition.
I hope it works out for us.

I got a name we should target for the summer:
CB- Ivan Cordoba (Colombia)
His contract with Inter Milan ends this summer. He's a guy you could bring in with experience and talent. If Nelson Rivas is in Montreal I think you could say that its possible he would go to Toronto.
Spanish player linked with us. I put the link in this thread in news: http://redpatchboys.ca/forums/showth...rumours-thread
That's a strange article...stinks of Simon Borg's misunderstanding of both soccer and Spanish. Calleja isn't a defender but a 5' 7" left-footed midfielder, whereas Ruiz's article claims TFC have been pursuing Oscar Sanchez for months (left-back, 2nd div. Murcia), and hope to add him this summer if a buyout can be arranged.
LOL, you pegged the hell out of that one.
Simon borg is a moron
TFC to sign Quillan Roberts: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2012/...n_roberts_mls/
I would have liked to see him stay in the academy another year but I guess if he's part of the long-term plan anyway might as well get him started now.
Interesting. IIRC Mariner said that any available resources will have to go into signing a back up keeper. I hope this means they've realized there are more pressing matters.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. Kocic's backup, if I'm not mistaken, was from the league pool. With Frei now out for most of the season, you need something more permanent. Any other keeper out there would have to be paid above the league minimum.
And doesn't this mean he doesn't apply vs the cap?
If he falls under first 20 players count towards the cap rule, which he shouldnt be so exempt from the cap
Well at least Roberts could give TFC's offense a boost
Good to see Quillan being signed to a first team contract. Being a homegrown player I would think was an off-budget signing, so it would not have any affect on the Reds current cap situation.

"Interesting to see former TFC Academy FW Stefan Vukovic now with Montreal Impact U21s. Did well in CSL and was with TFC squad in preseason"
We just released him? Are you serious? This is absolutely disgusting..
Yes it is disgusting..
Explains the new pearly white shiny balls the team was practicing with...
because TFCA and TFC is two separate teams, TFC did not own Vukovic. (MLS homegrown signing rules can be complicated) I'm going to guess something like Vukovic either was offered not good enough contract or none at all, and Vukovic joined IMFC as a free agent

I remember during pre-season Aron said he doesnt fit the 4-3-3 system... This is probably the biggest mistake Aron has made with our youth academy prospects
Im feeling mighty discouraged about this team.
Considering none of us have any idea what happened, this is a completely unfair statement. For all we know Stefan could have walked into the FO, said "fuck you for not giving me a contract" and left.

When you look at our roster it shows two new players in it. One of them is Quillian Roberts and another one is Curly Chris? Who the hell is Curtly Chris???
Seeing how I don't see Curly's name on it, I'm gonna assume someone just randomly added it in, then someone else removed it
Wow looking at TFC roster on the wiki page it great to see we have 10 players that are Canadian. And just to see how stack up against the other Canadian teams in MLS, Montreal has 3 and Vancouver has 2 (both from Southern Ontario).Seeing how I don't see Curly's name on it, I'm gonna assume someone just randomly added it in, then someone else removed it
With all the Vukovic talk today, I found myself on his twitter and...
Paul Stalteri
I know he is older, but if you are looking for a leader he might add that element while we are missing our star DP? Can't be any worse than whom we tried to bring in to shore up the defence? If he is still a free agent, as far as I know he is, might come relatively cheaper for one year and a chance to be singed longer if things work out?
Official release, plus interview with Quillan Roberts: http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2012/04...megrown-keeper
Crazy that he's still in high school.
We need a CB though. Isn't Stalteri a FB?
he can play CB, hes done it before
Anyone know if Frei has been put on season ending injury?
If he has and this kid is only in at the $35k min, that leaves about $100k of cap space available.
If we can buy out Harden and Dunfield (we pay them out of pocket) we will have enough to get a couple of really good defenders.
