    Translated from Arabic:
    Giovinco expressed his management #الهلال His desire not to complete his contract, due to special circumstances. He is likely to be the first to leave the club walls during the next transfer window.

    Giovinco for his 33,34,35 year old seasons vs the field.

    At this point, I just want the best player/investment, I don't care about history or the player specifically. If Giovinco is better then anything we can get I'd bring him back. If we could some young 27 year old or a better 30-31 year old, obviously I hope we do that

    Probably nothing but a Ballou Tabla training in a Mavinga jersey https://twitter.com/nik_martineau/st...535374336?s=21

    More likely Curtis or Manning - these things are almost always about money & Benezet isn't going to get from TFC what he got last year.

    apparently TFC offered him a contract first but he declined. His loss.

    No Giovinco as a dp please.

    No Ballou he's cpl level now.

    TFC needs a winger badly.

    Agreed on #1. I don’t see any reason to revisit the past.

    #2 would be in the CPL more for his attitude than his ability me thinks. He’s never seemed to hunker down and realize his potential. That said, he’s still young and if he can avoid being disruptive would be worth a flyer. Only problem being he eats into Gallardo and / or Endoh’s minutes. Both players the club has invested in. Sends the wrong message to force them to complete with yet another player with a similar track record.

    I would take Gio back as a DP for two years max. In a flash. I don’t need to think much about that.

    All you guys who want some younger DP, remember that the washout/problem risk on internationals is high. This isn’t easy. Remember Defoe and Aketxe? Every team in the league has multiple failures on that type of player.

    He wasn't good enough to play for Montreal. What does that make you if you can't play for a non playoff MLS team?

    Ager wasn't a dp and Defoe was actually good when he played.

    This would be nothing more than a cash grab by TFC. No thank you.

    We can do a lot better than Giovinco nowadays.

    OK how about JDG or Gilberto?

    Or I could dig up another 20 names like them on other teams...

    I’d love Seba back but only on a TAM deal. For this DP we need to bring in someone young.

    If we brought Gio back as a TAM player and signed a DP...broke the $30 Million salary spend mark...the rest of the league would have serious hissy fit. We'd never hear the end of it from Whitcaps fans who might actually break $10 Million this season. I wish we'd stop calling this a salary cap league. A move like that would be mockery to the ridiculous rules MLS has.

    It would be hilarious though and for that reason I would love for it to happen.

    The only way we could do it as a Tam and correct me if I am wrong. We would need to make a trade with Nashville to get to the top of the allocation list. Or maybe we could do a sketchy LA Galaxy loan deal and have the Saudi club eat 9 million. (hahaha). And then go for the extra DP. So 5 DPs loving it.

    There's no tam money left to spend according to Manning which is why were likely losing benezet.

    Would be a good signing. Left winger, decent goal scorer, only 25 and Portuguese so he might sell a few tickets up the street from BMO.

    Giovinco will be 33 in January, so I can't imagine Manning would sign his to a DP contract. He said he had his narrowed down to 3 or 4 players in South America and Europe.

    However, if we can sign Giovinco to a TAM contact (perhaps the new CBA will make it possible) and we sign a winger from Europe in his mid-20s, I will name my firstborn after Bill Manning. We would likely have to give something up to get the top allocation spot (Maybe Marky, as per his Instagram post?)

    Imagine our line up:

    Jozy

    Giovinco DP winger

    Osorio Poz

    Bradley

    Auro Omar Mavinga Morrow

    Westburg

    God willing.

    IF ... Gio comes he's a DP. I don’t know where this TAM thing got a foothold but it isn’t grounded in reality.

    I can certainly understand someone saying they don’t want him, that’s an argument... but $1.5M a year ain't the price of eggs here. He sells jerseys and brings eyeballs in a way that few would.

    Yes. Has to be a DP. I think it would be brilliant. But I see why others don’t want to go backwards.

    The jury is still out on Gilberto. The guy was seriously just unlucky here. He could have hit 15 goals with us that season.
