    Default New Dichio Blog just posted

    He talks about Marshall leaving and Vitti joining. The most interesting bit was:

    "We do have a couple more youngsters from Gambia who are training with us. Now these guys are 16 & 17 , but have the physique’s of grown men! I do not know who scouted these kids, but they look very promising."

    Ok it's official, you are all in love with Giambac.

    On a more revelant note, Mo can't do much wrong this offseason in my eyes.

    He definitely seems more organized this year... Maybe it was that stapler he found lying around the office???

    dont thinks a matter of being organized, i think its a matter of being an established teams with established ties. These things dont happen overnight as some people believe

    well said, it's not like there has been a lineup of players showing up from other countries to play for tfc. we love the team, but it still has a long way to go internationally.

    as great as an mls cup would be, i'd almost prefer the concacaf champions cup first to catapault our global exposure.

    not great, either. i guess my hopes were overly high or something... excited to read what happened in the report tomorrow, though i wish they would have those out the day of the match, rather than the day after.

    i need my fix.

    there is no correlation between winning in the spring and winning in the season, so scorelines don't matter.

    also, the Fire have had 3 weeks of preseason training already, while our boys are still pretty raw from their holidays.

    The Gambians will never get work permits here. Waste of time.

    I don't think two 16/17 year olds could fit into our squad right now. Probably too unrefined to make an impact on the first team, but would have been perfect for a reserves/academy kind of situation.
