Sad to see Nick go, but it looks like a good deal.
I would love to see VdW go...
Fabian Johnson is a really high level player. I hope he comes. No disgrace to be struggling to get into the BMG team the way they're playing at the moment.
Next few weeks are going to be exciting. And then bring on Independiente!!
So lets game this out.
VDW goes internally within the league - maybe but he's a risk that wage requires TAM - that might come from us.
or
VDW goes outside - doable and maybe get some $ but unlikely.
or
we use our yearly buyout (assuming we didn't use it on Aketxe)
or
he stays until the summer and we all do Kumbaya for now
Camilo, Larin, Najar, Cubo would all be good in my mind

Vanney responded by saying “instead of pouting, why don’t try and give 30% this season?” Gregory told him he will be fired before the end of this season.
TFC sent him home. Vanney told the team the next day that someone is missing. He has an attitude problem, and it will be dealt with.
I think it’s funny how some people on this thread were being critical of Curtis when the guy has barely been in his new position 2 minutes. How about give him a chance first, who knows what’s going on right now that we have no clue about. If he had anything to do with this trade for Nick then I say that’s a pretty good start. I also get the feeling there was not a lot he could do to prevent Victor from leaving. Let’s see how things pan out in the next few days, it may not be all gloom and doom as some people seem to portray.
Looks like the Instagram post was the flag to let the journos ask the questions finally:

doubt anybody in mls will touch that contract unless we eat half of it
From Kristian Jack on Twitter just now
Sources: Gregory van der Wiel has been ‘removed from Toronto FC camp’ after an altercation with Greg Vanney for insubordination. Will never play for the team again. Some within the club explored options of possibly releasing him in the offseason over character concerns. #tfc
I was a big fan of Van der Wiel in the Ajax days. Sadly, he never lived up to my expectations here. I had very high hopes for him.
The Defoes and Van der Wiel egos wont last in a place like Toronto. Happy Vanney isn't putting up with that crap. Maybe someone in Qatar will take him, seems like he enjoyed the middle east on his insta during the off season .

Yikes.
I think signing VdW and letting Beitashour walk has to go down as Bez's worst ever move. And I didn't even think VdW was bad on the pitch... but nothing related to this decision has worked out in any way.
What GM is going to want him after this?
The great drought of leaks has ended.
