TFC Making move for SHOLA AMEOBI

[arsenal]

saw this on another board .....



SHOLA AMEOBI was today the subject of an ambitious move from MLS side Toronto FC, who would love to sign the former England Under-21 striker.
The BMO Field outfit would join Norwich City and Middlesbrough as teams tracking Ameobi, after the player indicated he did not want to go to Stoke.
Former Newcastle coach John Carver is in charge at Toronto, and is keen to bring Ameobi to join him and another ex-United star, Laurent Robert. .....

Where's Big Bruva?

[Mikey]

erratic form and a string of injuries....sounds perfect for us!!

[bdrs]

hmmmmmmm

[ensco]

I wonder what exactly Mo does these days.

[koryo]

Carver, who has also been a huge hit in MLS so far, added: “The fans here are so similar to the Newcastle fans. They love the game and they are passionate.

That's a considerable compliment from the Big Man.

[TOBOR !]

I wonder what exactly Mo does these days.

Surrounds himself with knowledgeable people and gradually builds a successful football team.

[darb]

Does Chronicle Live have any credibility whatsover? I would love this move. I've always been a fan of Ameobi, like.

Evidently that's not quick enough for some people

Are you Dave in disguise?

[darb]

Are you Dave in disguise?

I moved to Toronto from Stoke on the heals of this rumor. All kidding aside though, Ameobi is an EPL quality striker (ok, bottom half) and I'd be surprised to see him come over here. Delighted, but surprised.

[Billy the kid]

Whether there's a shot of this happening or not, it's good to hear they've got options. Between this and the Huckerby interest, it seems like they are moving quickly to find a strengthen the offense.

[Oldtimer]

That's a considerable compliment from the Big Man.

Don't forget the rest of the quote!

“They are similar to myself and are the reason I came here.”

[Canadian Blue]

Bring in Ameobi ship out cunningham and what out for the front semi back handspring

[Phil]

The writer of that article was in town over the weekend doing a piece on Carver.

Keep your eye on his stuff, I expect a write up on his experience soon.

[ensco]

I hope you're right.

But it seems like Carver's using the pronoun "I" an awful lot....here's more of the same

[denime]

Who cares ?
Less news with his name better for us

[Billy the kid]

The article on goal.com says his team's asking for the equivalent of 7.8 million for him. That can't be within the toronto budget. Mabe that's just an ambitious asking price though.

[jloome]

It's ridiculous given his scoring record.

[Oldtimer]

Former Newcastle coach John Carver, who now calls the shots at BMO Field

Great to see our stadium being known.

[TorontoBlades]

Dave is coming to town!!!!!!!!!!

anyways...mls rumours is showing viduka to DCU....now that's a striker that would have tons of success in the 4-5-1

[darb]

It's ridiculous given his scoring record.

I'd say £4M is not far off given the ridiculous transfer fees EPL clubs are paying for strikers these days. Boro will pay it if TFC doesn't.

no clue how they will sign him, theyve used both DP slots

[SilverSamurai]

TFC is turning into Newcastle!
Guess I found an EPL team!

haha I was just thinking that...Toon in Toronto is going to be happy if we get another NUFC player here

[werewolf]

well last year we were Sunderland, on the field and in the table.

[werewolf]

On a serious note;

http://www.tsn.ca/soccer/story/?id=2...headlines_main

Notes: Carver confirmed that Toronto FC is interested in signing striker Shola Ameobi, who is on loan to Stoke City from Newcastle. Carver was with Newcastle when Ameobi was in the club's system. "I know him very well," Carver said. "He's got a big future. If we can get him, I'd be delighted."

[tfctillidie]

atleast we know for sure that TFC is indeed interested, now the question is...If he is interested in joining MLS?...find out on the next episode of A SHOT AT GOAL WITH SHOLA TEQUILA

[werewolf]

Anyone remember the amazing Robert compilations of his stunning goals, and how excited everyone got at the amazing plays. Well this is the complete opposite for Ameobi

[tfctillidie]

You put your left leg in, your left leg out, in out, in out and shake it all about...Sing!..Ohhhhh Shola Ameobi!!!

haha so catchy
