Dobson - Superdraft - Possible south american striker?

[Ossington Mental Youth]

He says he's got a South American striker "90 per cent locked up."

Interesting.
What about our D Mo?

[Ossington Mental Youth]

obviously alot of moves still to come

[peter_tfc]

Heard that too many bloody times last year. Just that, 'Brazilian locked up'. Let's just say there's a guy somewhere that knows a guy who might be able to find Toronto on a map and then show up for a training or something on their way to the CN Tower.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

nah he never said they were locked up, they were either in talks or trials but never locked up or certain

[Shakes McQueen]

Man, quite a bit of good information in that article.

- Frei could very well be our #1 between the posts this season.
- DeRo is indeed getting his contract renegotiated, but everything is going fine.
- Mo, regardless of his "90%" comment, is in fact looking outside Europe (for all of you Mo haters)
- O'Brien White is going to play for Jamaica as an international

- Scott

Ill be pretty pissed if they honestly start frei.
remember how well Edwards did last year when he started?
Let the two youngsters fight it out and rid of this keep the shirt policy.
Best first 11 always

But Frei was rated better than Edwards last year as well.

[Nuvinho]

I'd try to trade Edwards........Frei will be the replacement for Sutton.

moving edwards frees up cap space

He said they have a number that looks, "doable," which sounds like it's still up to the board.

The money is already paid to MLS anyway, unless he's a DP.

good article...thanks dobson

[Nuvinho]

Carlos Costly?? Amado's buddy.

[DigzTFC!]

Is Honduras in South America? But, there is a chance Mo thinks Central America is South America. Also, that Freddy Montero (Colombian) looks like he will go to the Sounders for Pre-season

Yeah, he was talking about the negotiations with the South American DP striker.

[Shakes McQueen]

Yeah, he was talking about the negotiations with the South American DP striker.

Is the mentioned South American striker supposed to be a DP? I haven't heard the interview yet.

- Scott

[Cambridge_Red]

Oh god MO keep your mouth shut. If it's not 100% contract signed jersey on back keep it silent...

[ben_vw]

Yeah, he was talking about the negotiations with the South American DP striker.

There was no mention at all of DP.

[Roogsy]

I'd have to agree with this.

I thought so, but Ben has corrected me. I guess I was just hoping .

moving edwards frees up cap space

All 37k of cap space would be free but we don't have Frei salary on the cap due to his GA status and it also would free up a senior spot since GA players get senior roster protection.

I think that really gives Frei the upper hand but this is a similar position Edwards was in last year when he had to beat Waagner for the back-up position.

[jloome]

He's not going to beat out Frei.

The kid is a huuggge prospect, as in, he'll be hugely heading to Europe in about season three.

But every single reporter, scout and pundit at the combine said he's totally the real deal, ready to go. Most said he looks better than Brad Guzan did when he entered MLS and he's at Villa now.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

yeah Frei has been rated quite highly.
As for Costly, could be i remember him trying to get out of his contract in Poland a while bacck...

[Chevy]

Edu can pay for the grass, Frei for the roof.

Everyone said the same thing about Julius James, too.

Just sayin'.

Hmm, White's going to play for TFC but wants to be capped for Jamaica.....

Could be trouble.

How?

[Marc"2L"]

admittedly I don't know all the details but was there any way he could of been playing for Canada and chose not to?
