MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
he, ( or someone of his ilk,) is exactly the type of player we need...young and creative , who needs an over the hill big name .......cause no one else will come here. It's not LA or NY. just think an exciting team wow......and couldn't hurt with South American fans. How much do prices go up with mr. big name drawing in tourists, getting drunk and not caring about the game, also.

ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
I don't know much about this kid, but i can assure you Atalanta have some of the best youth systems in all of Italy. They know talent and if they thought something of him, their is def talent there....maybe just not enough for serie a?
Hearing people say that his strengths are skill on the ball and vision makes me happy. I hope for two things:
1-He is all that he seems and more
2-We actually sign him or somebody with the same skill set
Before we all get to excited why would a player of his ilk want to come to MLS let alone TFC?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is found all over the world
They will pay him more. More than he would get elsewhere. Or they will try to.
a diminutive Argentine that did thrive in italy was Maradona?
How exciting is it that we are being linked to players like Moralez? A 26 year old AM with skill to burn. We may have sucked for 7 straight years but things are looking up for MLS as a whole.
Am I the only one disappointed to hear about the attempt to sign Brockie. I find it reminiscent of past choices. Nelsen can't see past the obvious bias and he's quickly becoming Barrett 2.0
over confidence is a sin
All I know is this team better not be scrambling in getting players by the start of next season, we better have out core group going into next year.
According to Molinaro, Payne is saying that Urruit would NOT be a DP
http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/payne...-of-dp-urruti/Toronto currently has two DPs on its roster in Dutch forward Danny Koevermans and Argentine midfielder Matias Laba. Payne confirmed that Urruti, if signed, would not count as a DP, and that TFC currently has two international roster spots available.
any player who made Nesta look like a chump has skills IMO. it is frustrating to see Brockie miss some quality chances, but he's right now the only striker who can consistently offer link up play with midfield. (you did see his assist for Osorio's goal last week...) he also has predatory instinct, being at the right place at the right time, something you can't really teach a striker. plus he can cross
he reminds me of another late bloomer... named Wondolowski. with consistent playing time, plus better team chemistry (and let's face it, TFC is not a team that creates a lot of chances), I think Brockie has potential to be a good striker in MLS
“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
