TFC 2013-2014 Off-Season player moves/speculation/rumours/etc. thread

[spark]

yeah... let's sign players based upon FIFA or FM ratings! smrt!

Is Tonton Zola Moukoko still playing? That guy was awesome!

Swings and roundabouts with Gilardino.

Until he lifts the shirt, its all rumours.

[pdubs]

not uncommon for option years to be higher wage. also, NY might have been using allocation money to buy down Espy's cap hit.

300k swing tho? I can understand +/-100-150k. Remember when Kevin Payne said he had no idea how New York was under the cap in the video interview...maybe he was referencing things like this.

^ Galarcep: Eddie Johnson sweepstakes underway


Strictly based on his opinion that EJ will not take less than DP money, you can forget about him at TFC. Nelsen has said a few times (paraphrasing) that there is no need to buy a fringe DP when TFC has the money to pay for much more.

[cwell]

"Chelsea will have to wait at least another week. A long ball from the back picks out Mohamed Salah's run in behind Branislav Ivanovic and this time the Egyptian holds his nerve to lift the ball over Petr Cech and set off an eruption of noise in St Jakob Park." Does this long ball count as "hoofing it"?, and if so would we take the goal and the win, or not?

Thank God. I wonder which team will overpay him enough to make him not whine.

[notthesun]

If Leiweke pulls this off, god damn.

[OgtheDim]

Like the Arsenal comment

Wasted at spurs. Off to a bigger club. Good luck Defoe, top striker.

[Pint]

This story is getting pick up by some main stream outlets now... The score app just sent me a msg saying dafoe is joining in January.

I hope they have more confirmation than just the mirror.

@DavidAmoyal: Gilardino is actually now open to Toronto FC's offer after having cold feet last week according to @dimarzio (CC @MLSTransfers)

[Morlesio14]

"@torontofc we would like to announce the signing of totten ham striker Jermaine Defoe. #MLS #TFC"

[pdubs]

Luke Wileman ‏@LukeWileman 13m Toronto FC/MLSE have been going all out to convince Defoe to move. Even had his mother over to Toronto as a guest of the company recently

[ensco]

"@torontofc we would like to announce the signing of totten ham striker Jermaine Defoe. #MLS #TFC"

Holy crap. Is that for real?

I was certain this would not happen. Shows what I know

[0bl1vious]

"@torontofc we would like to announce the signing of totten ham striker Jermaine Defoe. #MLS #TFC"

So we're posting lies again? Dick move, man..dick move. https://twitter.com/torontofc

[JonO]

Holy crap. Is that for real?

Not sure why, but some people find it amusing to create mock-ups of official tweets and post them as news. Unless it is clear that it is satirical I don't get the thrill of posting misinformation...

[pdubs]

you think Gilardino may be on board now cause MLSE could tell him he has someone to play with? (Defoe)

[Ivy]

[mowe]

Certainly can't hurt.

[notthesun]

On the Gilardino front, Di Marzio says in his article that Gilardino is still looking for a summer move, so the loan back to Genoa until then looks like the plan.

Defoe in January, Gilardino in the summer.
