It's probably Forlan.
It's probably Forlan.
I personally hope it's Forlan. Yes, he's getting old, but he'll turn 35 next May, so I see him signing a 2 year contract that would take him to 36. Let's be honest, the guy is an absolute beast up front. We could do worse. Sure, there may be better options out there, but at least he will strengthen the team immediately, and he'd bring a bit of fame with him as well. Can't hurt - especially after 7 years of absolute misery.
That will be an interesting signing, but I think TFC is going after South American player. Forlan being obvious one (He probably more realistic one to sign with us based on history), but Kaka and Ronaldinho are available as well. Those names are bigger than Pirlo in Toronto.Originally Posted by Marc"2L"
I believe TFC will have 2 DP slots next season. So maybe we're working on two big signings (one in this winter while another in the summer).
But one thing is for sure: next season is going to be crazy.
I'm really hoping its somebody around the 30 - 31 mark so they could be here for 3 or 4 years, much like Becks.
It wont be Forlan. Im thinking it will be Zlatan.
I guess we can't count on Odemwingie driving up to BMO Field on deadline day?
Man, I laugh every time I think of what that guy tried to do. Has any other player pulled such a publicized (whether intentional or not) move like that?
Drogba or Lamps and I would shit myself with glee and buy season tickets until they retire. Just saying.
Holding out for Kaka.
I have no interest in this Prilo guy too,however, if your talking of the player Pirlo then yes it would be a great signing.
Btw. Danny Koevermans go back to the Netherlands to play in Eredivision
He is staying put until the end of 2013/14 http://www.goal.com/en-my/news/3899/...-juventus-exit
I think we may be looking at the wrong names... I'm thinking we will be bringing in more of the Maxi Moralez type DP now and then after WC2014 bringing in the "name" DP.
Koevermans: "Sta open voor mooie Eredivisie-club"
:16 augustus 2013 om 12:01
Danny Koevermans staat open voor een terugkeer naar Nederland. Het contract van de spits bij Toronto FC loopt in december af, de oud-speler van onder meer Sparta Rotterdam, AZ en PSV hoopt op een nieuwe club in de Eredivisie.
"Ik sta er absoluut voor open om bij een mooie Eredivisie-club te laten zien wat ik nog kan", zegt Koevermans op de website van Sport-Promotion. De spits staat momenteel met een kuitblessure even aan de kant. Koevermans keerde onlangs nog terug van een zware knieblessure. "Dit is inderdaad erg zuur. Ik begon net weer op mijn oude niveau terug te komen."
"Ik neem nu geen enkel risico, want ik wil niet dat het weer fout gaat. Maar met een week of twee ā drie moet de blessure toch wel genezen zijn", aldus Koevermans, die hoopt op een mooie afsluitende periode in Canada. De club heeft nog niet aangegeven wat de toekomstplannen zijn met Koevermans, de spits zelf heeft wel een duidelijk beeld.
"Ben ervan overtuigd dat ik nog van waarde kan zijn"
"Over mijn toekomst ben ik tamelijk duidelijk. Mijn contract loopt af en daarna zal ik met mijn familie terugkeren naar Nederland. Ik hoop dan in Nederland aan de slag te kunnen. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat ik nog voor veel Eredivisie-clubs van waarde kan zijn", zegt Koevermans, inmiddels 34 jaar oud. Ondanks zijn blessure, voelt de aanvaller zich fit.
"Ik heb altijd gezond geleefd en daar pluk ik nu de vruchten van. Ik kan nog wel een tijdje mee op het hoogste niveau. In wat voor rol dat is, maakt me niet zo veel uit. Ik wil eventueel best als breekijzer in de laatste twintig minuten erin komen. Dan kan ik ook van waarde zijn", vervolgt Koevermans. Canada heeft indruk gemaakt op de Nederlandse aanvaller.
"Mijn begin bij Toronto was erg veelbelovend. Ik scoorde aan de lopende band en het team draaide als een trein. Die kruisbandblessure was natuurlijk een enorme tegenvaller, maar ik hoop nu wel dat het blessureleed binnenkort definitief verleden tijd is. Voor de rest had ik in Canada geen enkele reden tot klagen. Het land is geweldig en de mensen zijn erg aardig. We leven hier als God in Frankrijk."
What's your reason? BTW: I prefer Zlatan over any other big name player mention here.
Theres no way, you see all that stuff about it being the right guy? As in, a leader?
Zlatan is a child making stupid amounts of money.
If this happened I'd need new pants too
I dunno. I just want Zlatan. Or Drogba, either way its a win.
Zlatan would be a poor choice as he in no way fits how this team wants to play together. Nor is he what the team is trying to do marketing wise.
Plus his ego is so big, he won't play here.
This isn't FM where you just take a player and insert.
And I'm not sure Drogba, out on his own striker that he is, is what we need.
Both great players.
But both are not fitting into the team as it currently sits.
Zlatan will play champions league soccer as long as he keeps netting them like crazy
He is professional as no other,all his former teammates and coaches said that,and that's why he is making stupid amounts of money.Find me a player that won so many trophies (19) with 6 different teams in 4 different leagues.
There is a no way he will ever come here,maybe at the age of 35/36 to retire and tear this league apart.
He just moves to the top team in each league who'll throw money at him.He is professional as no other,all his former teammates and coaches said that,and that's why he is making stupid amounts of money.Find me a player that won so many trophies (19) with 6 different teams in 4 different leagues.

There are a quite a few reports of his unprofessionalism and locker room disturbances.
Anyway I agree he wouldn't come here now anyway.
Throwing a possibility out there, this guy is one of the highest paid footballers in the world and is the soul of the #1 team in China (managed by Lippi) and tops in Asia. Name is Dario Conca, and contract is ending this year (and the Chinese league operates on the same windows as MLS) and highly expected to go back to Fluminese where he's revered. But has shown obviously that he's capable of going to "lesser" leagues for $$.

That's a good write up on him with a highlight reel as well. Still 30 so has a few more years in him, but he's a beast and hasn't been injury prone despite a reckless and physical league in China. Argentinian as well. Plenty of youtube highlights of his time in Fluminese and China.
I have never heard this guy before and he makes 14m. If MLSE want to spend 10m+ wages on a players its going to be a brand name, this guy is a total unknown.
Ya, even though he'd be amazing on the team and is a good fit for the league (the Chinese league is definitely one of the roughest, most physical leagues in the world), I don't think he's the type of player Liewieke would be looking for. He's all about the brand and I'd say the majority of soccer fans in Hong Kong, let alone Canada, have never heard of this guy.I have never heard this guy before and he makes 14m
We could really use a guy like Soolsma out there on that wing couldn't we?
Did Payne say we were signing someone this week?
Yeah but he talks and talks. Better to give your f5 key a rest.
It got a rest the last couple of days.
Back to work F5. You`ve had your holiday.
I'll put all my money on Asamoah Gyan! (definitely not even remotely even possibly maybe ever kinda sorta a transfer target. ever.)
