    Just a quick look at transfermarkt tells me he gets DP money so I'd say unlikely.

    Maybe in the offseason but no way TFC can do that type of move now.

    Through the grape vine I've been able to confirm a couple of the things that Anthony was reporting last year that didn't end up happening but were on the table.

    He just reports stuff early, so i wouldn't doubt that maybe they have had some contact but would doubt it happens. We do theoretically have 800k in TAM next season as well as the 500k that was given 2 years ago plus whatever we have left from this years 800k. Still a long shot unless someone major is being moved out.

    Don't get me wrong, i'd absolutely love Blanco to come here. Given the numbers involved I doubt something can happen with a week left in the window.

    It's also funny that Seattle have been linked with him for a month and now TFC are interested in him. Lazy scouting/talent ID?

    They were down last season scouting a bunch of players (Techera being 1) and they have as many scouting resources as any other team in MLS. Could also be Blanco's agent wants to get him to MLS and teams were notified about his availability.

    Argie press reporting in the last 12 hrs that San Lorenzo received a $2.6m bid for Blanco from MLS. Presumed to be Seattle.

    Or league money is involved. In that case the drill has been for the league to send out a wire to see what teams are interested in the player and then work out who gets him. Seattle has a open DP slot so should be them without a doubt, TFC is probably just voicing interest as a back up in case the deal with Seattle falls apart for whatever reason.

    Lodiero is en route and Valdez is apparently no longer a DP after this season.

    I suspect what happens is agents contact the league office with options that subsequently get filtered down to different teams. So it looks like we're lazy but no more so than anyone else in this case.

    Scouting departments in this league are not large. Teams ability to complete dilligence on their own is limited. The things like the Techera trip are not real scouting - it takes a lot more work than that to really assess a player. That said its still miles ahead of Mo Johnston sitting in the stands / on the beach in rio looking at players with $15 million dollar price tags and stating they'd be ideal DP's.

    Based on Vanney's evaluation of Tos, he seems to think of him as a big forward. If Blanco comes, does that mean we move Altidore?

    Por Blanco el Toronto ofrecería una cifra superior a los U$S3M. Barrientos: está cerca de irse.

    No idea why but the guy never made a start for WBA in the Premier League. Take that for what it's worth however I would suggest that may be a reason for some concern.

    The only fucking way we pull this off is if we move a DP or if we have TAM and GAM up the wazoo to pay his transfer fee off the cap

    this is interesting as fuck

    Is that twitter account legitimate?

    Only way this happens is a random 4th DP slot appearing out of nowhere and with an increase in cap space too.

    The account has 27,000 followers and appears to be legit. It might be the team leaking something to raise a transfer fee for another team.

    Maybe the league will allow it if his fee is spread out over a couple of years using TAM? MLS cap rules are unknown.

    Also, TFC have never said when they are using their TAM money aside from the WJ trade. Bez never shows his hand, always says his cap situation is tight. We might have some cash to splash.

    No chance with the way that country is going. A lot of agents stirring up stuff again looks like it to me.

    wouldn't be too worried about that to be honest. Its a tough place to go especially for South Americans and especially to a team who are struggling.The manager who brought him in Alan Irvine was sacked and the new manager Tony Pulis didn't rate him, probably cos he isn't 6ft plus lol. I see West Brom when they signed him he was regarded as a winger, but he seems now to be more of an attacking mid and maybe that was one of the issues they had with him.

    The roughly translated reports say Besiktas made a bid and it was rejected.

    I think BEZ will be moving Bradley before Altidore...... reports from Italy.. football-italia.com states that Sampdoria and Torino are looking at Bradley..... Bradley interested as his wife is from Italy and he speaks Italian.....

    If he goes then definitely Blanco will be coming shortly....

    Altidore will be moved during the winter transfer window... just my opinion....
