    I have a theory. I call it the BWP effect.

    Altidore will score a bucket load of goals here so English fans can claim "MLS is shit, Altiodre is the top scorer there and he couldnt kick snow off a rope"

    I like how in Kelly's article today it mentioned Defoe moved all his things home long before this deal was done.

    I never put it up here, but someone I know bumped into defoe in a washroom over in England a few weeks ago. Asked him if he was coming back to Toronto and Defoe just laughed and said 'no chance'.

    Your friend must have restraint because I likely would have said something excessively off colour to him after that response.

    No specifics were given, I would just chalk it up to he likes it in England a lot more than here. That being said, had a good talk with Bradley a month ago and he loves it here, no question in my mind about his sincerity.

    I guess he just didn't get enough of days like yesterday and today. He would have loved it with more cold weather.

    They are trapped by (or at least outgrowing) their own rules which were created at a time when dealing with a very different class of players (demand wise). Players of note are going to tell the league where they want to play, not be told where to play. And the league will have to make that happen.

    This...

    Honestly - this is a classic move for a team flirting with relegation. Sunderland are in 16th and have the second worst goals for in the league. They are going to drop whatever they can afford (or can't afford) to stay up. The amount of money they lose if they go down pales in comparison.

    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
