I don't think we can just "cut" JDG as special rules apply for DPs (obviously we'd just pay him to stay home, nobody is taking that contact on) - don't DPs have to do be cut in the offseason?

Soumare would be a very nice aquisition.
I hope it works out for us.
I got a name we should target for the summer:
CB- Ivan Cordoba (Colombia)
His contract with Inter Milan ends this summer. He's a guy you could bring in with experience and talent. If Nelson Rivas is in Montreal I think you could say that its possible he would go to Toronto.
Spanish player linked with us. I put the link in this thread in news: http://redpatchboys.ca/forums/showth...rumours-thread
That's a strange article...stinks of Simon Borg's misunderstanding of both soccer and Spanish. Calleja isn't a defender but a 5' 7" left-footed midfielder, whereas Ruiz's article claims TFC have been pursuing Oscar Sanchez for months (left-back, 2nd div. Murcia), and hope to add him this summer if a buyout can be arranged.
Simon borg is a moron
TFC to sign Quillan Roberts: http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/2012/...n_roberts_mls/
I would have liked to see him stay in the academy another year but I guess if he's part of the long-term plan anyway might as well get him started now.
Interesting. IIRC Mariner said that any available resources will have to go into signing a back up keeper. I hope this means they've realized there are more pressing matters.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. Kocic's backup, if I'm not mistaken, was from the league pool. With Frei now out for most of the season, you need something more permanent. Any other keeper out there would have to be paid above the league minimum.
And doesn't this mean he doesn't apply vs the cap?
Well at least Roberts could give TFC's offense a boost
Good to see Quillan being signed to a first team contract. Being a homegrown player I would think was an off-budget signing, so it would not have any affect on the Reds current cap situation.

"Interesting to see former TFC Academy FW Stefan Vukovic now with Montreal Impact U21s. Did well in CSL and was with TFC squad in preseason"
We just released him? Are you serious? This is absolutely disgusting..
Yes it is disgusting..
Explains the new pearly white shiny balls the team was practicing with...

I remember during pre-season Aron said he doesnt fit the 4-3-3 system... This is probably the biggest mistake Aron has made with our youth academy prospects
Im feeling mighty discouraged about this team.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_FC
When you look at our roster it shows two new players in it. One of them is Quillian Roberts and another one is Curly Chris? Who the hell is Curtly Chris???
With all the Vukovic talk today, I found myself on his twitter and...
I know he is older, but if you are looking for a leader he might add that element while we are missing our star DP? Can't be any worse than whom we tried to bring in to shore up the defence? If he is still a free agent, as far as I know he is, might come relatively cheaper for one year and a chance to be singed longer if things work out?
Official release, plus interview with Quillan Roberts: http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2012/04...megrown-keeper
Crazy that he's still in high school.
Anyone know if Frei has been put on season ending injury?
If he has and this kid is only in at the $35k min, that leaves about $100k of cap space available.
If we can buy out Harden and Dunfield (we pay them out of pocket) we will have enough to get a couple of really good defenders.
