But Cabaye was already proven in the EPL. Midtable English teams are know for paying stupid money for proven EPL players. Players from the continent are seen as riskier. I think most of those teams would rather take a $7.5m/y risk on a proven player like Cabaye rather than on someone who's done well in MLS, but is no guarantee to do well in England.
Should be fun to see how they justify that after selling the player that people would be paying to see
Ticket prices reflect demand. When there was a high demand, ticket prices went up. When the team was constantly shit and no one wanted to see them anymore, ticket prices went back down. That has nothing to do with whether they would sell their most important player to make a quick 10m.
This is a game thread.
sorry. I hope they thrash Orlando.
at the current exchange rate, his current salary of 7.1m USD would be equal to 4.5m GBP. Looking at a team like Spurs, the only players making more than him would be Adebayor (6m), Eriksen (5.9m), Vertonghen (5.5m), and Lamela (4.8m). Spurs has a higher wage bill than any team that would be interested in him, and all those players proved themselves in Europe prior to going to Spurs.
Here's hoping journos are at the training ground today and we get some hints about who will start and what will happen formation wise.
There's a thread for that

And saying "you guys" like there were a slew of people worried is just not the case. Also asking people to inform themselves about European football and then referencing 3 giants in that region looks pretty naive yourself.
But yes feel free to continue in the thread linked above.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
I can't wait until tomorrow! Really hoping for redemption! I would love to see another hat trick🎆🎉🎆
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK...
Go at them guns'a'blazin, hammer of hell, waves of attack!
Goals win games... And God knows we can defend so score'em'up!
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
10-1 tfc.
C'Mon, how about 10-0!
Based on this video, there will be changes
And this guy sounds like he might start. BIG mention about communication.

C'mon you Reds! Facespank Shithole City SC tomorrow!
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Glad to see Williams in the projected lineup. And hopefully it's right about Osorio too, God knows we were missing him last week
That is the first projected I think is way off.
Also, Jackson is available. He was playing very well. It would be surprising to see Zavaleta and Williams.
I don't think we play the diamond.
I think it will be 3-5-2 with Jackson and Lovitz as WB's. Middle of defence will be Kantari Hagglund and Williams. Midfield will be Cheyrou Warner and Bradley.
Oh, and
IT'S GAME DAY!!!!
As was Konopka. Both of them indicated as training stints to get minutes.

DO NOT DRIVE DOWN TO THE EX TODAY
Why?
Cause the Gardiner is going to be a zoo.
That's 1 lane each way open.
From: Spadina Ave
To: Jameson Ave
Details: Two westbound lanes between Spadina to Jameson and two eastbound lanes between Strachan to Bathurst will be closed due to deck replacement of the expressway. One lane will remain open. The westbound Spadina on-ramp will also be closed
Take the GO. Take the TTC. Drive on King if you must. But do not attempt the Gardiner.
