    Remember when manning said they hadnt received an offer for giovinco either?

    I think bradleys on his way out.

    Ezequil avila is rumored to be on hid way to mls. Winger from Argentina who scored ten goals in la liga this year. 25 so hes a great age. Probably a dp, if bradley leaves he would be a good replacement.

    I am more worried about Jozy leaving than I am about Bradley.

    I don’t see much of a bid for Bradley. If he moves in season, my guess is that it is to another MLS team with us paying a lot of his salary.

    (Can you trade a DP, eat most of his salary, and free up a DP spot? If yes, this latter scenario is a back donor way of “buying down” a DP and is very possible, maybe even likely)

    That's what I'm thinking too. Or, their negotiations are far apart.

    Giovinco has a Instagram story today where he’s walking down the street. It looks very much like a street in Toronto. . .

    I think that street is where he lives. I think it is Toronto
    If you page through his instagram you can see a pic with him and his kids on that same street.

    Jozy leaving would be a blessing.

    The Bradley talk is the same stuff we have heard for years about him. The responses are always the same. "We have not heard anything from the team". There is no indication of anything serious at this point.

    almost sounds like an invite. It's maybe more what they didn't say that is more revealing. They could have shot down this rumour easily by saying "Heard nothing and don't want to as Bradley is going nowhere"

    I think that statement confirms that whatever's happening with Monterrey it's between Bradley's people and Monterrey. Guys remember from basically the beginning of June he's free to sign a pre-contract with anyone. I think this may have real legs.

    Let him go and open up a DP spot for the summer would be a win-win situation. Atiba Hutchinson is available on a free he could replace Bradley for a year while Fraser gets better. Then sign a DP winger/striker and the team would be much better off imo.

    We got lucky that we managed to get Jozy, Bradley and Giovinco as three young and motivated DPs who came through in the playoffs and gave us great years. Some DPs bust and don't work out. Even if Bradley and Jozy leave, there's no guarantee we'll be able to sign two guys who can have that sort of impact and chemistry. Pozuelo is pretty damn good, so it would make sense to get a guy who can play with him. Jozy could if he were healthy, but that seems unlikely to happen very often.

    FWIW, Jozy's issues the last couple of weeks were about his Orthotics being improperly fitted.

    I think TFC would only be interested in a deal that gave them cap relief, so Bradley would have to go for enough money to provide for that under MLS's arcane rules.

    The Saudi season is done. He has a house here and his kids have spent most of their (admittedly short) lives here, so maybe this is home for his family, for the time being. I imagine he's back for the off-season and will likely also go to Italy at some point. It is possible he's going to sell the house and vacate Toronto, but summer in TO is pretty nice.

    One thing we really have going for us right now in terms of player recruitment is the Raptors. I hope we’re getting good mileage out of them. Would be good for us if they could make the final.

    Lots of very rich people who have houses around the world have houses in Toronto for when they want to visit. The interesting thing is will he be going to see the Raptors? He's a big fan.

    It doesn't mean he's moving to TFC.

    Right. He probably hasn’t sold his house yet or has kept it in order to retire here/in Italy.

    That said, there aren’t very many rich people who own homes here unless they have frequent business here or are Canadian. Luxury homes are slower and more difficult to move, and aren’t a very good investment. Unless you’re laundering money, and if so you probably don’t live there.

    It’s like a yacht. Do some people own yachts? Yes, but most just rent them because they’re a really bad investment and they won’t use them often.

    If I was making 10 million tax free Euros a season I really wouldn't worry about depreciation of my investment on a condo in Toronto.
