    While Jozy and Borriello wouldn't necessarily complement each other, they do bring different skillsets to the table. Borriello is slower than molasses but is very strong in the air and at holding the ball up. Left-footed to boot. Jozy is none of these which could provide TFC with a tactical advantage depending on the situation. With the right service I think Borriello could do very well in this league and can offer significantly more than Corradi could (comparable player) while at Montreal.

    Jozy is an injury prone international with poor discipline. Borriello would see significant minutes and I am all for swapping him with Moore in the squad. It seems this club will do anything to appease Bradley, having a compatriot for Seba to speak to isn't such a bad idea either.

    I'm in the minority here but i would move Zavaleta. Williams 3rd CB and both Hagglund and Simonin appear to have part of their game that can be above average.

    I agree with this statement. Hagglund has higher upside than Zavaleta. Zavaleta probably has more trade value at this moment though.

    Does anyone know if Zavaleta is now counting against our cap? He was a Generation Adidas player so he had no cap hit. But now we've exercised the 1-year option on his deal, so does that extend his GA status or did extending him add his 125k salary to our cap?

    His GA status expired before he was traded to TFC. He's more than likely in the 1-20 roster spots and counting on the cap.

    How long does GA status last? I thought or figured it would be for the duration of the contract.

    As far as I know there are performance metrics (mins played, goals scored, international caps) than can accelerate a players graduation from the program.

    TFC aren't signing a striker. c'mon. We are being used by Borriello's agent. What other plausible explanation is there?

    Luke Moore is on his way out, and Gomez's contract expires in the summer? Who replaces Seba and Jozy when they're both gone?

    Only way this is possibly true is if Altidore were being moved. Which would have leaked.

    This Borriello thing is a ridiculous joke.

    It's probably not... I'm just saying that leaving 0 back ups when Seba and Jozy leave seems alittle risky.

    Vanney points from that interview

    Defence:
    Caldwell was expected to be the leader at the back.

    Bloom was going to be the starting RB.

    Perquis difficult for him to be a leader in the back line because of his English and he needs to focus on his role. Perquis is very good "when he can focus on his role".

    Man City agrees with him that the hardest position to find is the Centre Back.

    Drew Moor is expected to be the leader back there.

    Midfield:
    "We have ideas in how we will structure things."

    Can talk to "Michael" about where he can be great at. Where he can lock in for the next 5 years.

    Have pieces that people trust can do their jobs. Guys need to be a bit more precise and be "masterful at something rather then good at everything."


    Forwards

    Borelli not coming - salary cap.

    Possible that some things might be coming to add speed.

    And he made it sound like the speed option is likely an academy grad.

    I think it's safe to say that if either or both goes we're bringing in new back ups. I'm fine with Hamilton and Mo as our 5th and 6th guys on the depth chart.

    I might think Bokai if we're talking speed. He is incredibly fast.
