Double post for some reason.
Double post for some reason.
has JH signed anywhere yet?
Nope, apparently he was offered a new deal at QPR but has decided to walk away. Before he turned it on (basically coinciding with choosing to rep canada) I think he would have been a TAM level player but now i can't see him accepting the 500-800k a season we could offer without having to open up a DP slot.
waiting for BEZ(if he is still the guy making the moves,we never hear from the guy}to make a out of the box move.why is SIMONIN still on this roster,he is a waste of a import slot.why not loan him out.
For starters, he's not the president anymore. Not his job to be the spokesman for the club.
I also don't think there's a lot to say about our season so far. We've neither been outright good or bad in most games. We have a generally comfortable position given the way our schedule and injuries have broken. Next 5-7 games will be big.
I'm surprised that Ricketts deals hasn't happened. Makes me think that it isn't going to happen - or that they are waiting on another deal and he is the back-up. Either way - it's a sign that there isn't much confidence or need in the signing or it would have happened on day 1 of the window.
i think its because he has not got his release from the last club he played for in Turkey.
The interview video after the game actually indicated that although teams have to learn to win 1-0 that he would prefer if TFC would learn to be patient and finish teams off using the good tactics that got them the 1-0 lead in the first place.
i.e. He'd take a 1-0 over a tie or a loss but he wants TFC to not get out of shape chasing the second goal.
One of Williams, Hagglund or Zaveletta will go most likely. My guess is still Hagglund.
we only have 7,we traded one this year.
Like many of us have speculated perquis is gone
Who was just saying we never mutually part ways with players? Good timing. Perquis is gone.

always liked his heart,they better not spend that money on ricketts.
Huh, that's too bad. I guess Zavaleta and Hagglund showing well this year meant he wasn't needed. I'll appreciate him for what he was - on a good day perhaps our best ever Centre back and A guy who wore his heart on his sleeve.
Now, Mutual termination means we don't have him on the cap anymore, right?
I'm assuming he or his agent found something back in France so mutual term served everyone's needs.
Yup, he's completely wiped from the books. As we're half way through the season, this would open up roughly 213k in cap space.
I hope we do something beyond Ricketts with this space. I would have thought Ricketts could fit without extra cap room considering the salary he should command.
Perquis wasn't a bad player... he looked a lot better with Moor beside him. But that cap hit was way too much.
seemed to be a popular guy with his teammates especially with gio and benoit,i hope this doesnt screw with the team chemistry.
I agree with the positive evaluation. Always liked his style and swashbuckling approach to the game. How could he have been expected to hold his place when trades and draft picks throughout his time seemed to always involve obtaining more central defenders?
I wish him well and thank him for his contributions...
Normally i would get excited about a signing coming in,but im jus worried that bez is going to overpay for a guy like ricketts.
im jus worried that he will give him 150 k for the rest of the season,which will 300k next season.he has got no more then 150k value on this team for what he will bring,thats my opinion,i hope im wrong and he will be a good asset to the team if we sign him.
Not super stoked on parting way with Perquis thought he's been really solid this year in the back, great leadership and was a veteran presence. As it's been known he was overpaid though... Should of been making 120-150 for a year; the one thing I do see as a positive is tat Hagglund will get more minutes and tbh I've really liked his play thought he's been solid every minute he's played.
if the only player we get is Ricketts I'll be pissed lol not nearly enough.
