I hope it's true!
yeah, his plane had to refuel on its way to chicago
LOL!
Suck on it Shit-Cago! If this is true...not only did we stick it to Chicago...we have gotten a proven scorer.
Can you confirm this anywhere? It would be great to find out for sure.
I would be shocked if this is true. Maybe McBride going to Toronto and try to talk to Mo about the deal or something.
But if somehow, this is true, then this will be a big slap to USMNT fans faces. Just imagine how pissed off they'll be seeing their hero wearing a TFC kit and beating their teams.
Most likely shoddy reporting. It may have been noted that we have the rights to him, which is true, but we all know that's not even half the story.
I don't mean shoddy reporting on your friends part Nate, I just mean "Allocation Order" is a pretty foreign process to the British press.
However, if it is true, then...yay.

He probably stumbled over a 6-week old link that had the words TFC and McBride in it and never bothered to read any more because it is MLS-related.
I would love for this to happen at this point in the season however realistically... seems pretty far-fetched. That or Mo is the best salesman on the planet.
On the bright side... Brian could make his debut at home after all
If we wait long enough, Mo can sign one of his kids.
and we all know what the english press/media is like
by the way, if you just broke some crazy news I would have to buy you a beer if not two.
Imagine McBride playing against Chicago tomorrow???
Or in the playoffs? BOOYA!
A friend of mine in Botswana emailed me telling me McBride flew to Toronto seeking refugee status, and will be applying for Canadian permanent residency, cause he hates playing soccer on real grass. Then, after he retires, he plans to move to Iceland to start a new soccer training academy. Yep, this is all true folks.
In England it may have been reported that he's coming to Toronto since we have his rights and his only way back into the MLS is to either play for us, or have us trade him.
McBride on TFC = MLS Cup
If McBride scores into our own net, Cunningham will be seen running up and down the sidelines with his shirt off, yelling: "i culd do dat man"
If McBride were willing to play somewhere other than Chicago, it would have to be for big DP money, because he's still worth a couple of million a year based on his scoring last year, I think.
Seems implausible
