^Hahahahaha. I have to make sure to buy you a drink or two this year.
Hmmmm.
Fact or fiction?
Interesting. How does that help us though, if the cap space is already tied up for the season?
Not surprising. Stinson and Dunfield are ahead of you in the rotation...
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
It doesn't really if he is bought out. Unless, the MLS makes some "allocation money" available to us to use on another player.Originally Posted by brad
It would help if he is somehow transferred.
If he opts to "retire," I'm not sure what would happen to the cap hit but assuming there is a buy out of some kind, that would still count.
What's your source here...?
They had the chance to do it in the off-season. They blew it. That's on current management. This is the SECOND Canadian international they've mismanaged.
Why is this in the international forum?
Is this real or bullshit?
Buyout wont do any good cap wise nor will a disgruntled player screwing morale even further. I dont see any club paying a transfer fee when his contract is expiring in less than 6 months, and i doubt he retires mid season but this is TFC where Dichio retired midseaon as well.
I'm actually disappointed with JDG's time here. I was always behind him until this season. He hasn't come through.
Guy needs to go.
Get him out bring someone worth that money in.
He improved with Frings coming aboard but who hasn't. I've been a supporter of his but maybe it is time for him to go if we have another DP candidate.
Let anyone pick him up on a free. He's worthless here, and is only hurting us. With his contract up in 6 months, nobody will want to pay a fee. Free is the only way to go (and even still he may not be wanted)
I have a feeling he has given up. This may be his birthplace, but I think his heart is in Europe.
¡Vamos Celta!
Ultimately the worst decision the club ever made IMO.
His signing disrupted the team as it looked like it was turning the corner and the chain of events that proceeded from it, the club still hasn't recovered from them.
And now the contract is an albatross.
He came with so much hype. It just boggles the mind how much of a disaster his time here has been.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. Would DeRo have had the same antics if he didn't see an under performing JDG earning so much more? I don't know.
No surprises there (if this rumour is true).

I liked the signing at the time, but no doubt it has been an abysmal failure. At best he has been a serviceable player who shows flashes of what we thought he was. But more often than not he's a sub-standard MLS midfielder, getting paid like a marquee one.

I figured we've paid him over $6mill during his time here. Ridiculous.
Aside from Champions league this is the best thing to happen to TFC in 2012.
Pitty management was too stupid to buyout his useless ass in the offseason.

They must have thought at that price they were getting a De Lorean.
The De Guzman is more of a jumped-up, single-seater, urban runabout. A high-revving, high-maintenance, 1.2 litre turbo. A bit of zip but no torque and little trade-in value. Could be some collectable value in the Chia Pet hood ornament.
DPs have been a mixed bag, literally. For every Blanco, Beckham, Henry, there's been an Omar Bravo, Frank Rost, Freddy Ljungberg, or so, based on a quick look at the list. We've had 2 duds (JDG, Mista) and 2 not a dud (Frings, Danny K).
Danny k is approaching dud status. I hope I am proven wrong tho.
He's not as bad as Winter
But he is fat.
I hope it is true. Guy hasn't done anything overtly offensive, so the dummies haven't had a rallying cry like DeRo's cheque signing, but he has and always was completely useless. Dude was a carpetbagger from the start. He signed at the eleventh hour when Toronto FC was his last option.
In reality, the JDG signing completely fucked the franchise because it set in motion the events that led to the departure of the the best ever TFC player by an unfathomable distance.
Thanks for being terrible JDG!
