    Great move. Nothing against Perquis but considering the $ he was on and the fact that we have 4 above average CB's this works out great.

    Now take that 300k (100k from Gomez?) and get us a solid AMF.

    Think it's more likely the Crew are signing Haber, Honestly. They need him more, fits the bill in their formation.

    Interesting moving from Crewe to the Crew

    I feel like we missed an opportunity now to bring Edgar in. I thought he would have worked really well.

    certainly would have been happier family life wise.

    Edgar would have been a luxury for TFC though. too bad.

    Sad to Perquis go. He was solid this year and helped chemistry from what it looked like on the pitch. This was either done to free up space or Perquis has a signing back in Europe and TFC accommodated.

    Neither Haber nor Ricketts really meet our needs here.

    I will miss Perquis passion. This leaves us with only 2 SOB type enforcers.

    He's 32. Best for him to get a good preseason and settle at his new club than to leave in December. One of the few guys we let go that I'll miss.

    Perquis has always been solid, he's the type of defender that would "scare" the opponent without needing to foul them. Not sure about this move, it has to be the $$$ and his age. Hope our new signings will bring us to the right direction, cause this move is a backward step atm.

    mmmmm.. Not really. He's had more off days than a player making 427k should. His scare tactics are worthless when he costs us goals - which he has, on numerous occasions. He isn't a starter on a cup contender team; which is what we should be striving for.

    Decent player, not worth the money. Fell victim to the cap world.

    That being said, Busa will be gutted by this move. He loves Perquis. Can't spell MVP without Damien.

    Fair enough, I guess I exaggerated about the always solid part. But I still think that his scare tactics have kept many opponent DPs on lock (especially vs. David Villa). I think that the Morrow-Moor-Perquis-Beita defence line is the best defence line we've ever had, taking him away will take a chunk off that line.

    Agree with this though!

    Why not let your 20 year old with upside continue to battle it out? These moves are baffling.

    Wish perquis all the best. Feel like he never got settled here.

    About Habers tweet.

    Speculation

    Why would TFC take an unsigned guy on an away trip when we already have people in his position for months?

    We don't need him there. And he would be unlikely to play.

    More likely he is there for the crew or visiting somebody.

    It's a shame about Perquis. I completely understand the move on both ends but his passion and tenacity will be greatly missed. I'm hoping we use the money on an AM or strong FWD. We need to start burying our chances.

    Dumb move if this is only done to bring in someone like Rickets, he is a marginal player at best, I do not see the point when we have younger players better than him.

    I rather the veteran defensive presence than some random below par MLS winger, you can get those guys off the scrap heap any day.

    if rickets get signed and caps signing a few cdns. I wonder if this is foreshadowing a change in MLS rules or to # of international roster spots in MLS. Just throwing this out there.

    haber is a nasl level striker. not going to help out anyone other than depth. maybe not even a 4th or 5th striker at mls level.

    Shame to see Damien go but this opens a hell a lot of cap space if I was Bez I'd sign Raheem to a homegrown deal and then sign a TAM player that can play as a 10

    At least we now know that when the club says that a player is not playing because he is "beat up", it means he is transfer listed and will be gone shortly.

    Perquis was playing very well this year. His toughness and passion will be missed by the team on the field. He gave his all on the pitch and when playing well was a really important presence. On his salary it was likely inevitable he would be gone once the younger players showed signs of stability, but we will miss him. Understood, but too bad.

    I tend to agree with assertion re perquis. I was never a fan of him, I appreciate his levels were higher this season than last when quite frankly he was poor. Getting Moor and Irwin certainly helped him, as he did look better this season. But on the money he was getting he wasn't worth it. On his day he could be strong and capable of hitting great long range passes, on his off days he was reckless and culpable for goals conceded. Always felt his positioning wasn't great for player who had played at a decent level. Never felt he give us the veteran leadership that on paper he should have.
    I can understand why people liked him, but just not for me.

    This is a bad move. Perquis is the leader in the back that is needed in playoffs. Something happened between him and Vanney.

    I backed him last year and he gives what he needed to give us last year, this year.

    AS for pussplops, did he play in that one game? We needed him then.

    Wait - How many SOB's does YOUR dream team have?

    Both above players are wants at a price of value, not needs. But how do we miss out on Edgar and DeJong by a day??

    Sigh.
