Spoke to Toronto FC GM, Ali Curtis. Interview to follow online. He has confirmed to me that contract offers have been extended to Michael Bradley & Jozy Altidore and that he was very disappointed in Giovinco’s instagram post. It was a strong response. Video to follow. #TFCLive
thx...cue wait for it,oh tfc are going cheap with that guy coming to camp,mls cup here we come
While I wanted Giovinco to stay, I do think the real villain in all of this is D'Amico. I honestly believe Seba will regret his move to Al-Hillal, he's too much of competitor to pack it in like that.
that are not intentionally torching the place, but they are intentionally cutting the budget. I am very surprised that they didn't exercise the option. (edit: I see others made this point) Part of the cost cutting, obviously. Not surprised they didn't sign a long contract with Seba - cannot do that - but paying for stability versus chaos has merit

Quick note on Sofiane, buddy is a Dynamo supporter, said he's solid, new coach at Spartak and is redoing the team without him hin the plans
I edited my post after to add that ex LAFC and Sounders reserve GK played the second half in net for the Reds. I was really hoping they would have brought in a vet to battle it out with CPS for the backup spot. The third is pretty much going to be a kid toiling for the most part this season with TFCII in USL League 1 ala D3.thx...cue wait for it,oh tfc are going cheap with that guy coming to camp,mls cup here we come
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
uh huh
"Exactly," said Manning. "In my opinion, you're not moving to Saudi Arabia for the lifestyle."
i agree about D amico,how many clients does that wanker have or does he live off seba only.i swear i see him at every game,he cant be that busy.
So who is the favourite for the third GK spot?

When Seba says he would have taken less, it seems fairly obvious to me that he means less than he got from Saudi.
Seba's bottom line was pretty clearly the $7M a year he was currently on.
Manning handled this fine by me EXCEPT that this all should have happened in November.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
extending it one more year without a new deal would have had us see the continuation of contract whining from Giovinco.
This really is the best choice for the locker room and they got 2-3 mill vs zero out of it
No doubt Giovinco wanted to do his best but you still need to be on the same page as your team and FO
I agree that his agent gave him some bad advice.
I am working with my one boss today who is Egyptian and watches football at work all day. He follows all the Arab leagues and he knew about this deal. He was saying that Al-Hillal is the biggest, richest club in Saudi but have no identity and are firing coaches left and right. Considering that league is shit to begin with, it doesn't sound like going somewhere to win.

He is no Jorge Mendes, thats for sure
Manning never said when the first contract offer, which Seba and his agent denied ever happened a week or so ago but then said did happen, actually happened.
Does anyone know if this is the Jesus West who started for the Reds yesterday ? It's the only info I found.

Since our reporters don't break any legit news or anything, this is at least the stuff they should be reporting on.
they will now after reading it on this site
If this is not an eye opener to Seba not sure what isAsked if the club had received any offers from traditional soccer countries outside the Middle East, Manning said "zero."
Well so far Manning and Curtis have been shockingly silent until today but they haven't been caught lying. Yet.
Giovinco & D'Amico have.
So for now, that's something to consider.
I was going to laugh but it's probably true.
Sportsnet interview with Ali Curtis on Seba departure:
https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/tfc-...act-extension/
TFC themselves said they hadn't received any offer for Giovinco, at a point when they clearly had. Maybe it was not a formal / final offer, but at best it was hairsplitting & trying to avoid telling the full story.

In case there was any doubt... Toronto plan to go big to replace Giovinco and Vazquez. Told club is aiming to sign a younger attacker as a DP in next couple weeks. If signed, the fee will likely be among the highest in MLS history. Targeting 1-2 TAM signings this window, as well.
Fingers crossed...
Inject this tweet into my god damn veins.
I was seriously resigned to the fact that the big spending days are over and done with... maybe that actually was a bit premature.
Nice. It would be nice to get out of this Seba polar vortex to sunnier days.
Now we wait for a leak from abroad...
This timing is a big screw up. And we will see who they bring in
Don’t want to prolong the debate but it should have been offered as part of the proposal. Not exercising an option is saying we don’t want you.
