Larson: "Payne on expecting Hassli in camp: Eric Hassli has a contract and there are repercussions if conditions of that contract aren't met."
Also says: "Payne told me he expects Hassli in camp just like everyone else."

Yesterday, Nick De Santis apparently stated that: « Hassli est un joueur intéressant pour nous. »

Nick De Santis: <<Hassli is an interesting player for us.>>
In a conference call from Indianapolis where is the MLS SuperDraft Thursday the technical director of Impact, Nick De Santis, spoke of a possible interest to Eric Hassli Impact former player Marco Schällibaum, which showed earlier this week not wanting to play for TFC.

some random rumour that RSL might be interested as well
“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.”

So both Kansas and Montreal are interested. Looking good. If he won't play with his heart, we are better off without him. Dropping his cap hit (as a DP its around 325 if im not mistaken) will free up even more cap room for Payne to make some moves. Was hoping to see him and Koev link up, but it sounds as if it's time to part ways.
This is good... when the Hassli story first broke, the general consensus seemed to be that there would be no interest in him within MLS.
Apparently that's not the case.
I could definitely see him ending up in MTL... He's got the language down, and played for their coach in Switzerland
So...MLS taketh Mellberg and giveth Payne.
In the long run, that could be a very good trade.
O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever
It really is hearsay until Hassli is moved out and made official. I'll wait for that anouncement when it happens.
I wouldn't mind trading Hasli to Montreal for Davy Arnoud and Sanna Nayassi or either one of them plus allocation money.

Apparently there are a number of Impact players who requested off the roster as well. I'm starting to smell a player for player trade with MTL.
Seems like some Montreal Impact players want out:
Nick Sabetti @Nick_Sabetti
Hearing that a few players on the Impact have asked for a transfer. Could be some movement in next week or two #imfc

I'm guessing the europeans have thoroughly taken over the locker room and that's making the americans slightly uncomfortable.
All the cigarette smoke and cologne.
That and everything has become sexually ambiguous.
Either that or they let it slip that a family member is lactose intolerant.
get the F%^k out!.....Mr. Sulk, it's important TFC ditch Aholes like this that want out...It's time to end the negativity and let the new breed take over!.....
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
Id take Nyassi from limpact in a heart beat.
and everyone refers to the bathroom as the wash closet.
Perhaps he'd like to play with his fellow countryman in NY???
With some of the allocation $$$ that Payne was able to grab, I say pay down Hassli's contract and swap him for CooperCould you imagine Cooper and Koev? damn!
according to TFC twitter, Hassli is due to report in later today

Okay, this is a first. A link to an Ives Galarcep story:
Sources tell SBI that Hassli has requested a move away from Toronto FC, with the club in the unenviable position of trying to offload a big-salary player in a league with few options for him (a move back to Europe would seem to make the most sense).
Toronto FC isn’t going to make it easy for Hassli though. When asked on Tuesday about whether Hassli had in fact requested a trade, and whether TFC was planning to trade Hassli, Toronto FC president Kevin Payne would not confirm it. His response, however, seemed very pointed, revealing and defiant.
“Eric Hassli is under contract for 2013,” Payne said. “We’ll decide where Eric Hassli plays this year. Not Eric Hassli.”
Eric Hassli’s kind of an interesting figure at Toronto FC. He’s the guy that Toronto FC (or MLSE) felt nothing about re-upping as a Designated Player almost immediately before the club hired former DC United president Kevin Payne to lead the club. That to me was a plain as day indication that MLSE’s union with Payne was a shotgun wedding, perhaps engineered by Don Garber, because he sometimes has to be that guy.
Hassli was also part and parcel of the reason why Toronto FC were unable to convince Garber to let them have Olof Mellberg last year. Whether or not the club made the final push for Olof before or after nabbing Hassli is the subject of much debate. Which is to say, much debate between the usual ten people.
Anyway, I linked to Ives!
i know at least one person whos man crush may be effected by thsi news (carts)
i was very surprised to see hasili get a dp spot, but sonsidering his age and his form in the mls at the time, it didunt seem such a risky deal.
i always think we can do better.
and if this joker doesnt want to pull this crest of our city over his heart then pack your bags princess. . we'll find soem nowhere euro league to oplonk you and waste away in.
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
cooper is another princess that was on the payroll, and refused to play here.Perhaps he'd like to play with his fellow countryman in NY???
With some of the allocation $$$ that Payne was able to grab, I say pay down Hassli's contract and swap him for Cooper
is there a centre forward, who is under 30, that can score 10+, that wants to play here?
there are some GREAT mins here in the RPB forum
with a much better understanding of thenorth american footy market than me.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION?
NOTICE: Wager with STB: OVER 2 shots on goal in the First half wins a Pint at HT.
Obviously wild speculation here but...how about we move Hassli and Nelson brings over an out of favour striker with him? Hoillett as a young DP?
Of course doubtful he'd want to leave the Prem but he doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar right now and MLS would be a place for regular minutes.
Again just wild speculation.

Maybe you're on to something...
@callitfootball: C. Elliot's people went to TFC again. Was told if he'd been a week earlier they'd have had him on but they'd just done a deal for striker...
who the heck is C. Elliot?

Im thinking Calum Elliot
But I'm more interested in who's been signed
A fresh pair of young legs... Filippo Inzaghi?
