Not sure if this was discussed in the thread, but apparently several clubs in Honduras are in very serious financial straits and are being forced to sell players to meet payroll. On top of that, there is an unbelievable escalation of urban violence in Honduras right now. Could see a number of players go to MLS.
Translation issue. The full name of the club is Club Deportivo y Social Vida and is called "Vida".Originally Posted by Parkdale
Nice signing.....but I still don't trust that simpleton Mariner to bench Dunfield, and play the Honduran.......
signing? what signing? still nothing official...
This thread title should be changed until such time that it is official.
I agree we should wait until TFC makes it official. It's official according to the that's transferring Arnold Peralta to TFC:

I wonder if they might be waiting for the official opening of the MLS transfer window on January 21, but I don't know why they couldn't announce it even if it is not effective until then.
kinda silly as other teams have been announcing signings, incl SKC who signed DP Claudio Bieler on a transfer fee (very likely)
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Mentioned in the player transfer thread - TFC FO is closed until Jan 7th, so nothing will be announced until then.
Ok, that makes more sense.
MLS Rumors @mlsrumors After signing Arnold Peralta TFC's Kevin Payne confirms interest in another young Honduran attacking mid: Alex Lopez http://ow.ly/gvEbr
EnriqueMartinez @enriquemc1980According to Diez.hn, Arnold Peralta from Vida will join Toronto FC on Monday
Still no announcement. What gives?
MLSE HR department a bit busy today, I'd think.
Paperwork that was waiting until today for anybody but the Leafs probably was asked to wait a couple of days if it could be done.
Too busy firing and hiring coaches?

Molinaro saying on twitter he spoke to a representative from the agency representing Peralta and a deal hasn't been signed yet, but he's "confident a deal with get done in coming days."

boooooooo
I know there's still time, but we've basically had no offseason signings.
Crap!!!!
Not good.
ug. that'll learn me for being hopeful!
TFC happened...
Maybe Arnold did not like the deal TFC offered him & had second thoughts
I'd calm down on this a bit. The media coming from down there sounds like it's dosed in wild batches of speculation / garbage.
They are probably still negotiating.

Peralta walked into the #TFC Office to sign a contract. Saw some Canadian Maple Donuts. 8-1 and left. #NoDeal #Harsh
Nice!!!!
