Fuck...another day of not getting any work done.
At least my F5 key had a chance to cool down on the weekend.
O, Maple Leaf around the world, You speak as you rise high above,
Of courage, peace and quiet strength, Of the Canada that I love.
Remind us all, our union bound by ties we cannot sever,
Bright flag revered on every ground, The Maple Leaf forever
Colautti is under contract until June 2013, for what it's worth:

Trading Deguz for an Israeli international?! And freeing up a DP spot?! On the 'I'd shit my pants' scale, that's a solid 6.5
what sort of wages is this israeli international on now?
That's a good question.
I still think TFC isn't lucky enough to get rid of De Guzman. Besides, why would he accept a move to Israel?
Looks like $250k a year, if you believe this. Couldn't find any more info http://www.onlinesport.ro/stiri/fotb...-la-steaua.htm
Edit: And he isn't a regular on the Israeli team. But he has played and pretty well.

Why not? A chance to play in the Champions League, another new start...I can think of many reasons why he would. I can also think of many reasons why he wouldn't but what are his options right now if TFC tells him we don't want you anymore?
If true, he'd have his salary renegotiated... probably end up 300k level?

what is the maximum before a player must be declared for DP status, hope if true we can gain a player on the defensive line, and have a suitable team for our future
Is he gone yet?
I don't know about that. He's under contract for 2 more years, I don't know that he would automatically have his deal reworked. But even if it is, as long as it's not a huge raise I'm happy. Realistically we're paying for depth and freeing up the DP spot.
I think you mean Europa League.
I could see him accepting a move to a team in Western Europe. Not Israel.

It's an international transfer between leagues so I'd assume he'd ask for his salary to be renegotiated

True. As long as they take De Guzman I'm happy
Speaking of, odds on De Guz asking for a contract renegotiation?
No I meant champions league, well a chance to play in either really.
Well they didn't qualify for the Champions League in 2011/2012.
What are the odds a team will pay him more than TFC is? Slim to none?
No way he would expect any more than what he is getting. Mo outbid several European teams to get him, at least according to rumours at the time.
He would benefit that he could see his family whenever he has 3-4 days off. That may be a bigger motivator than anything else.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Julian DeGuzman is at practice today ... I do not see frings or koevermans
Thanks. It may be another false rumour... or something that fell through in the very early stages.
Frings was supposed to be at Sportscheck this afternoon. Maybe they (F+K) are just getting some time off to settle in.

Thanks! Keep the updates coming!
I'd guess significantly worse then that
A chance to, not necessarily this year.
I don't know if all this makes any sense. I personally would like to see JDG stay with the team to play with better players for at least the rest of the season to see if he can produce. Although his favored position is sitting over the back 4, I can also see him playing on the right or left side of the midfield, having Frings over the back 4. If JDG is dealt it would mean that the midfield would be Dunfield and Sturgis with Frings. I think we would be much better if we played Frings with Dunfield and JDG. They are all (Frings, Strugis, JDG and Dunfield) capable of interchanging with each other but I think JDG has a much better understanding than at least Sturgis on how to do this.
Whether to keep JDG depends on whether they can sign another DP player (say, a defender). If not... then there is no urgency to dump him. He's no worse than any of the alternatives... and maybe we'll see some flashes of the la liga JDG come back when he has better players to play with.

I agree with letting JDG settle in with frings and company I think his game will be much better , he could even score a goal.
BTW Julian is working out on the sidelines, no Iro and grifit is here too
Is there a big turnout for the practice? I would assume a lot of kids would be there watching.
Griffit is there? or no?
I wonder why Iro's not there?
200 or so
