EDIT: Repeated quote out
Probably an ouch!
On the other hand...
Oh gawd! Could that be some sort of quasi insider denial denial?
That maybe got scooped? As unlikely as that sounds.
I get the 'disregard everything stated from that account position'.
As well as, the comment about having 'better media literacy at discerning'.
But where is the fun in any of that?
Tom...
Then allow me to rephrase that question?
Did TFC ask for Tristan Blackmon for Ayo Akinola?

If you believe what Forbes says then we actively shopped Ayo around the league and VWC offered Blackmon.
Forbes is Forbes and he is anoying but he is right enough of the time to hear out and decide if what he is saying is sensible. In this case it makes so much sense he might have made it up just by putting 2 & 2 together.
Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/tombogert/status/1548003878305611784
Bogert does confirm TFC is willing to move Akinola though. Forbes just throws stuff against the wall to see what sticks. And moving Ayo would make sense, so it's not like he's trying too hard to predict this.
Perhaps in the off-season but we could have traded Ayo for MAK and instead traded Priso. I think they still see Ayo as a need for a potential playoff run
I understand.
The consensus on this board seems to be that he is not credible at all.
I am ok with that and mostly agree with that viewpoint.
I know I am not going to win, but every once and a while I by a lottery ticket.
Regardless, I don't really have to believe WForbes.
I believe Tom... 'I have certainly heard AA is available'
That would suggest or is code for he has been / is being shopped.
To who, and for who and what, then may be the only question.
There's a long twitter thread out there that outs Will Forbes as a complete fraud, some college kid in Tennessee who was living in his mom's basement when he started it.
He has no sources. He just mines chat sites
for speculation then elaborates. For example, he likely asked himself who the Whitecaps
could move now that they have gressel and wrongly
assumed Blackmon is a wingback rather than a fullback.
Ayo for Kaye made no sense when we only had 1 DP slot to play with & that's likely to be a certain Italian right sided forward (i.e. 10 days ago)
Ayo for something decent makes a LOT more sense if we have 2 DP slots to play with & 1 of them now is likely to be a centre forward.
(Ayo offered means JJ stays - I'm OK with that)
3pm from Rome should be landing right about now.
No he wasn’t. All he has done is regurgitate info from other people and states them as his “source”. I will say though if Belotti shows up out of no where then he must know someone because I only know 1 other person who’s been as adamant as he has about Belotti coming over.
Berna posted an Instagram teasing his next club. The options are TFC, Juve or Barca
It is going to be excellent seeing him live at Saputo tomorrow for us traveling fans
edit. That was a joke
What the hell is the Metaverse and why do I assume it is as stupid as crypto and NFTs?
I thought the opposite when I heard that. I thought that meant it was TFC that wanted the Kaye package to include Ayo instead of Priso. My assumption was that TFC swapped out the Ayo for Priso in the package to get this done. Just my opinion based on the view I provided above.
