Damn that would have been sweet.
Hey all, my apathy is starting to wear off, being replaced with a tiny bit of optimism...
That said, what the heck is going on? I guess we are 'building a new team' yet again. Guess there is no choice on that one anyway.
Do you think MLSE has given a green light to spend whatever money TFC wants to terminate contracts and pay way up for DP slots?
During the relocation event, i went to check out the TFC change room. I saw the lockers and noticed where everyone sat in the change room. there were names on all the lockers and noticed that some did not have any names on them. the missing names were avila, wiedaman, cann, the players that TFC did not option their contracts and that we know are in the re-entry draft. THere was one name that was also missing that i found interesting, JOHNSON was missing. Could he be involved in the trade Payne was talking about or am i just reading too much into it?
You're probably dead on here.
Looks like Johnson is gone.
Do you think we'd try to get a good CB for him? What do you think we could get in return?
I was talking to a TFC individual and he said there would be some surprises in the trade. You have to give something to get something. So I believe Johnson is part of the trade.
I took a peek inside Danny's locker. Still has a lot of his shit in it like shorts and jerseys.
Wasn't the trade supposed to be announced by now?
It sounds like a fairly significant deal if it involves RJ, and I'm curious as to what the return is...
He could be heading to Seattle. I think Seattle is pretty cash strapped. So we could be getting a surprise for the holidays

Payne said that the trade was done, but was waiting for league approval. Suggested it might be for younger players. #TFC # MLS

Based on what Kevin Payne told #TFC's longest serving season ticket holders Thursday, there is a good chance we'll see a trade tomorrow1/2
I really think that Payne is trading Ryan Johnson Milos Kocic and something else rumor has it it might be portland or seatle. what do you guys think? an announcement tomorrow that we got Alonso form seattle or Andrew Jean-Baptiste from Portland.
I'd rather Alonso but both are good.
Now since Seattle are planning on bringing Verdu Alonso's days could be numbered

Rumour: Joan Verdú of Espanyol to Seattle -http://www.marca.com/2012/12/07/futbol/futbol_internacional/estados_unidos/1354909397.html … #SSFC #MLS
Frings and Alonso in the middle would be dinamic!
If u believe wiki Verdu is AM, Alonso is very much DM. We can dream, but I have a very hard time believing he'd be tradable in MLS.
For someone who shores up your midfield THAT much, it'd take a ton of assets (not sure we have them). Also think that Johnson is more interesting to a team playing 4-3-3... So if it's coming from pacific north west, I'd bet it'd be Portland
makes sense but Verdu is a CM and an AM he actually plays both really well Alonso is obviously a dream but you never know this is the MLS
Who do you think we could get from Portland for RJ9 and Kocic
Nagbe or Mwanga maybe both i have no idea one of those males sense considering the rumor is we are getting younger
I just had a thought!
RJ9 kocic and the first overall pick for Mwanga Nagbe and portlands 3rd overall pick that sounds like a good trade for both sides
I would be very disappointed with Mwanga. High salary and not enough production. He's been a bust so far, and seen nothing that says he can be a starter in MLS. Portland would be nuts to give up Nagbe. They rate him very highly

Darlington Nagbe is a DP though, no?
He makes 90k according to Wikipedia so I'm guessing hes not a DP
Nagbe is not. Diego Chara is

or not. Alonso is a DM. So is Frings.

Ah, yes, you're right!
I wouldn't mind getting Alonso it's just Frings is a DP and I wouldn't want to sit a player with a DP salary.
Basically what I've seen on this subject is that we're trading Johnson and/or Kocic to portland for allocation money and a possible youth player or two, at which point we turn around and sign some Europeons who we have already made offers to but are waiting for this deal to go through.
