    And we ain't done yet. This is our biggest signing by far.
    As a gunner, mixed emotions here. But he does have quality.

    Haha, I couldn't resist.

    That pic of Defoe as a Mountie is actually from reddit too, someone posted it in r/tfc a few weeks ago, the Mirror must have found it.

    As a fellow gunner, I'll forget his Spurs roots if he scores a lot of goals.

    I love that he said he wants to come here to play for Ryan Nelsen... What's that? He didn't say that? But he was thinking it. He must've been thinking it.

    You guys realize that the Mirror is about as legit as a Duane Rollins article. I wouldn't get too excited until something official is announced.

    This is true. However the Times is reporting it now, and it is legit.

    I should say the Times is legit. Don't know about the signing.

    That's rather an insult to Duane Rollins isn't it?

    The Mirror is a UK tabloid. And at that, it's got more in common with the Weekly World News than the Toronto Sun. Many, many stories that the Mirror have published as being true, are completely without any substance.

    Normally thought, there is at least a kernel of truth. But often nothing more than something like Defoe might have talked to someone from TFC ... rather than agreed to a deal.

    Now that's different.

    Anyone have a Times subscription and can share what the rest of the article says?

    I don't know, this is still spec, I don't think it should have its own thread.

    Good signing...but one player does not a team make. That's what 7 years of failure does. But a good start anyways.
