    Interesting. Not sure I would pay DP money or use the slot. Maybe top up his pay with some allocation. Seems to be getting hit with some significant injuries the last couple of years.

    I am aware of that. I was using it to give myself a rough idea of whats out there as there are no in demand hot shot free agents floating around that I have heard of.

    Given the constraints TFC are under to sign players, attracting DP attacking talent at the moment seems absurd.

    There are some good names in there.

    Cole won't be coming. He's a premier level goal scorer, even if he's getting older, and after the four teams interested in the prem, there are another five or six interested in the championship.

    I consider this window a very bad sign. As much as Lieweke is lauded for LA, it was a total fuckup when he was actually involved (read the Beckham experiment); so far, Payne also looks like a remnant of the older league.

    There are many, many free agents AND cheaper league players out there we could have obtained in this window. Our reputation outside of MLS is hardly known, so that's not really an issue, particularly with the money available.

    This window, so far, has been an abject failure and does not look good on their abilities to scout and close a deal.
    I will take your word for it because your very informed and I hope your right.. Cheers.

    Yeah, I agree. The universe of pro footballers that are useful to MLS clubs is just too wide to even bother searching.

    This is true. Also look how many good players still sign for Turkish teams where you have a 50/50 chance of even getting paid.

    I know you said "take it for what its worth", so this is nothing against you, but twitter frustrates the hell out of me with false news reports. If I listened to twitter we've signed Urruti 6 times and he's flown to Toronto 4 different times, and is probably hanging out with our other acquisition, Forlan, right now. Oh, and 25 people are dead in the Boston Marathon bombings, and the bombers are middle eastern guys wearing turbans.

    Just as a further point of clarification. That "his agent says he's signing today" tweet comes from an Argentine Journalist. Not sure how credible he is, he has a fair number of twitter followers, and seems to respond to questions asked by people... so some must find him informative.

    Was it "suffer the terrible team for $$$", or did the influence/reputation of Aaron Winter help in that regard?

    I'd rather sign Urruti as our striker instead of Blake. Blake is going to cost a lot more money than Urruti and plus I like Urruti upside of becoming very good player in the long term.

    I have 1350+ followers. If I say something would you say its credible? The amount of twitter followers one has means nothing.

    To clarify, im not attacking you, I just think comments about number of twitter followers, which has been said before, really means nothing.
