    He could have to leave the country to enter again to get his work permit.

    He could also go back to Bilbao to sell his house, pack his shit etc etc.

If the options on the bench are so bad that you'd rather a 40-50% Jozy to a 100% Hamilton, Spencer or Ricketts then you need to upgrade the position.
    My argument would be Jozy looked rusty and they want him to get into shape ie able to run a full 90

    I think it’s fair to want another quality backup striker. Ricketts is good in some situations but not good in others.

    He doesn’t provide any hold up presence and movement off the ball is pretty mediocre. He’s good at stretching the field in an open game or against a team with a high line ... but that’s really the extent of it.

    In a game where we have to come from behind we need someone more versatile and potent. Apologies to the others not mentioned but they’re still unproven.

    perhaps he doesnt execute the coaches plan 100%, he might look good doing his own thing but vanney wants guys to execute his vision

    Fair but here is hoping that just like Delgado and Osorio Hamilton will seize the chance when he gets it. Certainly appears to have the skills.

    Yes, it is something like that.

    It's not eye opening, it's that MLS teams are now able to sign these players when they couldn't before due to salary restrictions. We are about to find out that Liga MX is full of Auros.

    Yes it is. I expect some of those players who feel that they aren't getting the playing time they think they should might start looking north for options now that wages on offer are more agreeable.

    ^^ I'm sorry Detroit_FC, are you agreeing with me or disagreeing, because I think we wrote the same thing.

    You were probably in the group nervous about VdW because he didn’t sign a day after rumors came out. Read up, it takes time to get everything done. His agent had a TFC hat on, while on a plane, and his contract was terminated. What else do you want?

    I’m fine if we sign him and fine if we don’t.

    TBH, that pic of his posse of agents filling biz class didn’t fill me with glee. But it’s just a pic.


    This guy is here because he had a nice season at Cadiz in the Segunda. We’ll figure something out in the summer if we don’t get him on our terms.

    Good. But the guy's not going to fly to Toronto if he wasn't prepared to sign. Don't know why some people would've been worried.

    I agree, that notion made no sense at all, must of been some keyboard joker on twitter to even suggest he left town. LOL

    Really looking forward to seeing what this team will be capable of with Aketxe in the mix.

    Going to be crazy competitive for midfield positions this year. Osorio and Delgado going to have some stiff competition for playing time. Good news for them though is the switch to 4 at the back opens up a midfield position

    I've been an Osorio critic but he's been pretty useful of late. He will be a good rotation player.

    As Toronto continues to go deep into tournaments like MLS cup and Champions league we will need to give players like Victor Vazquez and Michael Bradley more rest during regular season games

    I have no doubt that both Osorio and Delgado will play very well whenever they get minutes. Both have played their best games when fighting for minutes.

    Inclined to believe this is up there for "previous player least likely to recommend our team to potential new players" award. Provided Auro turns out as ok as he appeared in Colorado, I think we should take it upon ourselves to collectively forget at least 5-6 sitters Gilberto missed in return for this favor.

    I have to admit when I read this article I thought Gilberto was about as likely to recommend TFC as Defoe, but I guess it really is water under the bridge (Or Gilberto is looking to get paid as a scout)

    According to @RevistaColorada, international 🇧🇷 would have rejected the hiring of Pablo Aránguiz, after being offered by his representative Sergio Gioino to the cast "Colorado". The agent pointed out to the magazine that the Chilean has a proposal from the Toronto FC 🇨🇦
