Would have to assume that JJ/Ayo would move to the wing and odd man out be first off the bench. If so, Destro would be a good move because a front three of Insigne, Destro, JJ/Ayo would be lethal if it clicked even 75%.
However, not a real mid-to-long term solution and have to wonder if there is better value to be had. Similarly, if Destro money would be better spent on a true winger of similar level.
Headline on Destro: Manning filtered for Italians with expiring contracts on Transfermarkt. (We have a multi-billion dollar corp’s backing and likely no individuals properly dedicated to running our transfers/trades).

Has any one done diligence on our Young Money signing space? Do we have just one and is it Ayo?
What was he suffering through? A handsome millionaire getting divorced , spare me the tears , he will be on the French Riviera with younger hotter woman when he time mercifully ends here. He was actually starting to slide in his final two months of his MVP season, last time I checked MLSE is not a charity , should of sent Poz away a year ago, 4.5 million for what????
Wth all the attacking player rumours I’m starting to wonder if the defensive plan is to just hit 80% possession.

Hmm...player roster moves made based on something done by Nelson Skalbania decades ago is an interesting approach....
i was going to mention although i dont think its nothing big.
Poz posted on his IG story today, himself, mavinga and achara on the truck that drives them across the field captioned "c'est la vie"
Im not sure how to take it, is he saying thats life oh well or thats life grateful for being able to play soccer lol
i really think those 3 are def gone shortly.
Toronto FC II signs Priso's brother Hugo Mbongue to a professional contract. Surprised they didn't do this earlier (he's been playing with TFC2 on an academy allocation). He turns 18 in July, probably could've just left for free if he didn't get signed to a pro deal, which would've been terrible. He has great potential from what I've seen in his games (mostly last year I watched)

Very interesting and quite intelligent as the oilers won the Stanley cup the very next year while the kings won zilch, but the point I’m making is that there are no soccer minds at MLSE that figured out that Poz was done and they didn’t capitalize after his MVP season by getting rid of him when he had perceived value, absolutely shit show TFC management group
People that post stuff like this and “Bob Bradley” out because we not a title contender three months in also need to realize that the management team isn’t playing FIFA for Xbox. If you dump a reigning MVP because his marriage is falling apart in the midst of a global pandemic and his play is suffering accordingly, other players and agents take notice and view your club accordingly. Reputation matters.
Similarly if we hit reboot on Bradley because he decided to spend 4 months (painfully) figuring out what he has with our young players, we’d be the laughing stock of the league.
And cup or no cup, saying that the Oilers trading Gretzky was a “sell high” savvy management decision is revisionist history of the worst kind. Go read how and why that unfolded and explain how it’s at all relevant to this team.
Edit
Some arguements are just not worth my time....on ignore.

This management group would come off looking like Einstein if they had dealt Poz , what was the point of keeping him while this team tumbled down the standings cementing themselves as the garbage of MLS. Bringing in a Soltedo which clearly was a mistake then trading him for Salcedo who looks at the same level as the other two Backs which we are paying a fraction of Salcedos wages is was separates good management and morons.
