    He'll start next Friday.

    Soccer isnt that complicated.

    He needs a few hours with Jozy, to have a basic idea on how to time runs. Which he will get.

    He'll play at least 75 mins, easily.

    Here's Jozy's quote about him from a Sun article:

    “I think about that (Pozuelo arriving) every day. I think about how he’ll fit, how he’ll play. I think about if he’ll like it here, if he’ll like the guys. I’m very eager to meet him and I just hope he enjoys his time here,” Altidore said. “I think he’s going to be pleasantly surprised at the level (of play) and the facilities and what’s afforded to him, and the lifestyle that he’s going to be able to live, the relevance of the club and the city.
    “And so I’m eager to see how he takes it all in and I’m really excited for him to get here and play with us.”

    For anyone interested , his introductory press conference is Monday at 2:30 pm, pretty sure TFC will be streaming it.

    looks like he’ll be wearing #10.... if the early comparisons and “shoe filling” comments weren’t enough

    Starting him from the bench sends a nice message though. To him, and others. Well see Friday at about 7 pm

    You really have to love the guy. Huge that he has basically committed the rest of his career to TFC.

    "load management" is needed... he played a full season in Belgium already plus shitty turfs in MLS.

    Starting Chapman instead of the Belgian player of the year.... sends a message about the IQ of the manager. For me anyway.

    True, but not yet.

    They can 'manage his load' in the summer.

    Hes kind of had a break recently since the negotiations of a transfer he came off the bench for some games and now has had 2-3 weeks off? I think he will be fine without much rest hes 27.

    The load issue is very real, it took down the whole team in 2018 (remember we only had 6 weeks off, then played a double load).

    I think it's an issue for the summer though. That is when the trouble would start, if there was any.

    Vanney has already talked about managing his load.

    He should be held back from the Orlando game, for example & I could see him not travelling to RSL.

    We have away games out west with Vancouver, Seattle, LAG, LAFC, Dallas & RSL. I suspect Poz will only do 3 of those.

    If/when they get in one or two new wingers, it will also help with managing Pozuelo's load. It lets them lineup different ways, or even change the formation for part of a game, to give Pozuelo whole or partial games off when needed. And a quality winger adds another scoring threat.

    Pozo gets the new signing Raptors treatment. Courtside with Ali Curtis today vs. Charlotte and gets a shoutout on the jumbotron.

    In Toronto, that's when we officially have white smoke; the transfersoap is over; and the rollerblades can be packed away until next time.

    He seems slightly shell-schocked by all the attention so far. I hope it doesn't throw him off his game.

    I'm sure he'll be fine but it does look like he's surprised being in the spotlight, he strikes me as a way more private person than our previous #10.

    The bearded dude (in the white T shirt) in the row immediate above Poz:

    ... "Who the fuck is this dude?
    ... What is Toronto FC?"
