Ok, easy on this one, Lemieux scores on his first shift as a rookie and 43 goals in the same year. I am Luke warm on Hamilton and hope he can break out but there is no comparison.

if he is signing here would nt it be better that he is not the allo list.they can save it for the summer or sell it.
You have made my point - people were critical of Mario's intensity etc but were wrong, he was one of the best ever. We don't know about a players intensity (unless they are outright lazy - which Hamilton is not, he hustled in adverse conditions last night.) . Hamilton may or may not mature into an effective goalscorer but it isn't anything to do with our perception of his intensity.
Sure, I'll take Saief, on a small fee... to replace Delgado in the starting 11.
I would still expect a more suitable option up front with Altidore though.

On Sunday, during the top match against Club Brugge, Kenny Saief was in the stands. Lost again, for the fourth time in a row. The left winger seems to be tired and now wants a solution.
Saief will no longer get any chances at Anderlecht this season. Short incursions, in which he can hardly show his value. "Too short to really be able to show themselves", according to his broker Dudu Dahan in Het Nieuwsblad.
"Kenny did not get a fair chance at Anderlecht this season, why not? No idea, we did not get any explanation, but this season is a big disappointment for him, he does not feel supported in the club anymore. trust needs to perform well, he never felt that this season. "
Saief cost Anderlecht more than 3.5 million euros, but now disappears along a back door. "There is contact with a club from the MLS for a four-month lease," says Dahan. "It's an interesting option for Kenny, but he does not get any more opportunities at Anderlecht."
This article says a 4 month loan, which wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense for Toronto
Worth a punt.

4 months could take us to the next transfer window.
I see Bradley playing in front of the back four along side Delgado. Osorio fighting for a place on the wing. Basically a 4-2-3-1
How did Kenny Saief manage to play for 2 national teams, I thought once you committed to one there was no turning back a la Jonathan DE Guzman?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Saief#International
On June 3, 2017 Saief was called up by the United States men's national soccer team as part of their 40-man preliminary roster for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. As part of his callup, Saief filed a one-time switch with FIFA, tying him permanently to the US program.

Born in Florida, Saief holds American citizenship though he and his family moved back to Israel when he was 3-years-old. He represented Israel throughout his youth and even made two friendly appearances for the senior national team, but wasn't cup-tied and switched to play for the US national team, making his debut in 2017. He has made four caps with the USMNT.
aha, thanks!
Another Belgian transfersoap. Nice.
Witbier all around!

Suspect Deleon will be a bench player fighting for first team. Think we will use TAM on two wingers. Surprised we are still holding that allocation, guess we will maybe use it in the summer? Gonna need another CB bit worried as of rn
You get locked in as an international when you play in a FIFA game (ie. a world cup qualifer, continental tounament). Friendlies don't lock you in and you can apply for the switch if that's all you've done. He played two friendlies for Israel, so he was eligible to apply for the one-time switch. Diego Costa did the same. Played friendlies for Brazil and then joined Spain.
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
You snobs enjoy yourselves. There is nothing like a crisp Belgian white ale in the world.
EDIT: Reading about Cantillon now. I gotta try that. Although what seems to be available online (the Kriek, amber red) is not my go to choice.
FURTHER EDIT: I don’t know how anyone has an opinion on Saief if they haven’t watched a lot of Israeli league games.
