TFC 2019-2020 player off-season roster discussion

[Oldtimer]

Since Leiweke, the club president has always been involved in major signings and the Pozuelo issues were mainly down to going after him so late due to Manning/Bez not dealing with Giovinco's contract. I don't see how Curtis can somehow come off looking worse than Manning in that situation in your eyes

How about not contacting Pozuelo's then current club when you are interested in the player? Sure he was in the Bosman period, but that would seem pretty basic normal practice to at least speak to his club.

Manning had delegated doing the deal to Curtis, then had to step in when Curtis messed up.

Giovinco's contract situation wasn't Curtis's fault.
