جوفينكو أبدى لإدارة #الهلال رغبته بعدم إكمال عقده، لظروف خاصة.على الأرجح سيكون أول المغادرين لأسوار النادي خلال فترة الإنتقالات القادمة.
Translated from Arabic: Giovinco expressed his management #الهلال His desire not to complete his contract, due to special circumstances. He is likely to be the first to leave the club walls during the next transfer window.

The drama!
Giovinco for his 33,34,35 year old seasons vs the field.
At this point, I just want the best player/investment, I don't care about history or the player specifically. If Giovinco is better then anything we can get I'd bring him back. If we could some young 27 year old or a better 30-31 year old, obviously I hope we do that
Oh, I can't wait to see this thread get going... have at it!!!

Probably nothing but a Ballou Tabla training in a Mavinga jersey https://twitter.com/nik_martineau/st...535374336?s=21
No Giovinco as a dp please.
No Ballou he's cpl level now.
TFC needs a winger badly.
Guy trained with Barcelonas first team multiple times in the last year, now is CPL level lol
Agreed on #1. I dont see any reason to revisit the past.
#2 would be in the CPL more for his attitude than his ability me thinks. Hes never seemed to hunker down and realize his potential. That said, hes still young and if he can avoid being disruptive would be worth a flyer. Only problem being he eats into Gallardo and / or Endohs minutes. Both players the club has invested in. Sends the wrong message to force them to complete with yet another player with a similar track record.

I would take Gio back as a DP for two years max. In a flash. I don’t need to think much about that.
All you guys who want some younger DP, remember that the washout/problem risk on internationals is high. This isn’t easy. Remember Defoe and Aketxe? Every team in the league has multiple failures on that type of player.

This would be nothing more than a cash grab by TFC. No thank you.
We can do a lot better than Giovinco nowadays.

Id love Seba back but only on a TAM deal. For this DP we need to bring in someone young.
The Bruma to TFC rumors are still going:

If we brought Gio back as a TAM player and signed a DP...broke the $30 Million salary spend mark...the rest of the league would have serious hissy fit. We'd never hear the end of it from Whitcaps fans who might actually break $10 Million this season. I wish we'd stop calling this a salary cap league. A move like that would be mockery to the ridiculous rules MLS has.
It would be hilarious though and for that reason I would love for it to happen.
The only way we could do it as a Tam and correct me if I am wrong. We would need to make a trade with Nashville to get to the top of the allocation list. Or maybe we could do a sketchy LA Galaxy loan deal and have the Saudi club eat 9 million. (hahaha). And then go for the extra DP. So 5 DPs loving it.
There's no tam money left to spend according to Manning which is why were likely losing benezet.
Giovinco will be 33 in January, so I can't imagine Manning would sign his to a DP contract. He said he had his narrowed down to 3 or 4 players in South America and Europe.
However, if we can sign Giovinco to a TAM contact (perhaps the new CBA will make it possible) and we sign a winger from Europe in his mid-20s, I will name my firstborn after Bill Manning. We would likely have to give something up to get the top allocation spot (Maybe Marky, as per his Instagram post?)
Imagine our line up:
Jozy
Giovinco DP winger
Osorio Poz
Bradley
Auro Omar Mavinga Morrow
Westburg
God willing.

IF ... Gio comes he's a DP. I don’t know where this TAM thing got a foothold but it isn’t grounded in reality.
I can certainly understand someone saying they don’t want him, that’s an argument... but $1.5M a year ain't the price of eggs here. He sells jerseys and brings eyeballs in a way that few would.
