    SUNshine Girl Nikki, 23, has aspirations to become Playmate of the Year. While she contemplates how to make that happen, she’ll continue to hit the clubs and drink red wine in her spare time, which is probably how she came to meet rapper Drake

    How likely are we to actually bring in a CB AND Striker before Seasons end?
    recall Plata to play up front, is that a possibility?

    I asume we are going with Silva and Johnson up front?

    How many bodies are we short of the league maximum?
    Can we bring up any academy kids to fill the gap until we sing someone?

    I was talking to some friends about this yesterday.. I wouldn't take the chance on him and buy out his contract in the summer. Seems harsh, but I fear he'll never be the same. Knee injuries and over weight don't mix well. His age isn't going to help either.

    I dunno, I think his phenomenal strike rate during his tenure here earns him the right to try and regain his form next season, does it not?

    I understand what you're saying, it's a shitting thing to do to a player that has played so well for us, but at his age? Maybe restructuring his deal is the way to go about it?? His injury is pretty significant..

    This from the Star article....."TFC technically has two such slots open as Julian de Guzman, the other DP, was traded to FC Dallas last week. They also get a break on Koevermans’ salary cap hit, clearing more room for signings."

    So we can sign 2 more DPs apparently....

    I understand that his DP status is freed up, but his salary is still applied to the club.

    We can sign two more DPs, but we have to fit them under the cap - not likely gonna happen.

    I hope he is right but let's not forget one thing here, PM did not know that $500K paid for Plata will go against the cap,and he said that for JDG we got "the best finisher I've seen in modern times".

    i was at the pub by my house on st paddy's day having a smoke about 4 years back when this girl comes up to me and starts flirting (i have a girlfriend at this point). she's pretty but gives off this aura of poo-brain, i'm trying to hold onto her for one of my friends, so we start talking. finds out that i'm attending UofT for theatre, when we get on the topic of what she'd like to do with her life..

    "i don't know.. i'd like to be a home-maker. OH! like what would be.. like.. my dream job? i wanna be on girls-gone-wild"

    cue my friend (who i was holding onto her for), the most straight faced i've ever seen him..

    "it's good to have goals in life a guess.."

    fuck me, if you ever see someone disgusted in your entire life, it wouldn't even begin to compare to this girls face after we broke into a fit of laughter.

    I always imagined that these were the kinds of things that people resorted to in times of desperation, or fell into as a course of wanton drunkenness. Not so much as a career choice or aspiration.

    At this point I would be more likely to believe TFC has a chance to get into the playoffs only if they sign McKenna and Mellberg. The team has never had a pair of solid centre backs and more than likely would play harder to score goals if they are better at keeping the goals out of the net.

    I like how a lot of the CMNT is playing in Germany, even the second division is a pretty good league.

    I think what's that more likely to mean is that in real terms TFC still has to pay DP wages to the injured player and the new player ... but the cap hit remains the same.

    It would be unfair to TFC if there was no flexibility... but it would be unfair to the league if TFC had a DP then suddenly brought in a regular roster player that the league has to pay as opposed to the club.
