Orlando don't have any DP spots free either.
Kaka, Rochez and one of the Colombians (can't remember which one)
Boateng & Muntari could be heading to MLS, negotiations have begun
After Kaka' and Giovinco two more players with ties to Italy could be heading to MLS. Concrete contacts have begun to bring Sulley Muntari and Kevin Prince Boateng to the North America. Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari is being targeted by Los Angeles FC, a club who is looking to compete with the Galaxy in the southern California market. Muntari has just one year left on his deal and he has struggled to find playing time recently at Milan, so his departure appears likely- Los Angeles FC will likely have to face competition from Fiorentina who was interested in signing when he had an expiring contract. Kevin Prince Boateng on the other hand is a bigger name, he also has two years left on his deal with Schalke- a few MLS clubs have made inquiries to sign him. Should Boateng decide to come play in MLS he will have a few options.

Sounds like somebody with connections to the Ghanian team was in a bar with a reporter.
Useful players - lets see if they are still without a new contract by January 2016. (unlike what the article says, both of their contracts end after 2015-2016)
Would cost a lot and I can't see any of the teams who would want them be willing to pay the transfer fee.
LAFC is unlikely to start until 2017. And Muntari isn't a big enough splash for them, realistically.
Oh, and no thanks for TFC.
Clearly they just forgot to add our name to the list, because he will obviously come here lol

Agree 100% about is attitude, although has he gotten better in the last few years?
This article is simply Jorge Mendes playing his usual games. As a United fan, I've watched the CR back to United stories for the last few years, and this is pretty much exactly the same pattern. His agent hints he might be interested, then he is not.
When the last round of Ronaldo to United rumors were flying around, sources close to United were speculating that the total cost of Ronaldo (transfer fee + salary) was going to be something like 200-300 million GBP. If he was leaving, consider the salary premium we would have to pay to get him to come here over going back to United, you are easily looking at something on the order of $350-450 million USD. That is ludicrous...MLSE have deep pockets, but that is just insane.
As United supporter, I don't want him back at United for the those numbers (although the marketing windfall there would certainly soften the blow).
Thought so too but his reaction to Bale's goal this past weekend was just disgusting. He was pissed he didn't score from a bicycle kick a second earlier. He is clearly more focused on his personal goal tally than the fact that the team has been struggling as of late.

I hope someone explains to CR7 how contracts work in MLS. He might want NY, LA or Miami but he might wind up in Salt Lake if the same thing that happened to Jermaine Jones happens to him. TFC would be crazy not to go after CR7. The Portuguese population in Toronto exceeds that of the Portuguese populations in Miami, New York and L.A. combined.
If Cristiano Ronaldo actually came to Toronto FC, all you naysayers would be jizzing in your pants. Be honest!
Brandon Barklage has been released by San Jose. Solution for the RB spot?
Looks like we might be losing our DPs for the next game:
http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2015/03...d-come-calling
Toronto FC could be without four potential starters against Real Salt Lake if Bradley, Altidore, Sebastian Giovinco and Jonathan Osorio are called up by their respective national teams.
With Morrow potentially out next game because of the red card (TFC appealing red card with MLS), if the call-ups happen this would be an opportunity for some our non-starters to step up.
We'll get murdered in Salt Lake City with a second string lineup.
Why Italy would call up Giovinco is beyond me, he isn't part of the future leave him alone
RSL will be missing a few guys too.
They are in a bit of an adjustment period, they are rolling out a new 4-3-3 system. Like us they are having growing pains and haven't worked out the kinks yet.
Not getting our arse handed to us like last year should be achievable
Seba getting called up would be a surprise. But if he does, not necessarily a bad thing for TFC. If SG feels he is still in the Azzurri mix, that will be quite a motivator for him. And - significant for other players contemplating the move to MLS.
I still think its unlikely.
FWIW, Bez won't be getting much sleep for the next few weeks.
As per Larson
OFF THE PITCH: Toronto FC general manager Tim Bezbatchenko and his wife had a baby girl this week.
MLSE already have a babysit to take care of players' (I guess management) kids and their wives especially during game day.
You can read about it here: http://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/n...s-family-room/
Barklage signed with Saint Louis FC in USL.
John Molinaro @JohnMolinaro 14m14 minutes ago Sebastian Giovinco NOT named to Italy's roster for next weekend's Euro qualifier for Bulgaria. #TFC http://www.football-italia.net/64176/italy-squad-bulgaria-and-england …
Our chances against RSL just took a massive hit. Bradley and Altidore both called up for a pair of US games, Beckerman stays with RSL. They will be losing Rimando and Saborio, but this looks really tough now.
