Bernardeschi may be a better fit for Toronto than Insigne was based on player personality - damn do I love him already
Watch the last 30 seconds of this interview. Bernie is so much fun.

Love this guy.
Appreciate this guy.
Felt like he should have been MOTM - banger and assist all in one half
Went to buy his jersey, and was told they don't have em, weren't sold out, they trying to figure out how to fit his name on the jersey LOL
Shouldn't they figure this out before advertising? After his banger made me want to get his jersey
You could see how infectious his enthusiasm is towards rest of the team. Great player to have on the field and locker room.
I might have a man crush on this guy. What a stud so far

After a very small sample size he has the potential to be one of, if not the greatest player in club history. His left leg is money

Give this man his armband after Bradley
It is a pleasure and an honour to share this delightful diversion for a cold winter's night.
Please make sure you review the photos, and - especially - watch the video!

Amazing.....I actually needed to hear that today....amazing.What is your definition of success?
A: For me, success is when you feel well about yourself, as in an all-around feeling of well-being. It’s important that I work and that I have hobbies; however, the most important thing is the feeling of well-being, loving oneself, doing good to others, and being well aware of the kind of man that you are. If you have a good feeling of well-being, this is the biggest success that one can reach and it has a far-reaching impact on all areas of your life.
Changing an agent at this moment is not a good sign.

Given some of the promise of TFC's offensive moves in the last two seasons, how this situation has unfolded is so koo-koo in the coconuts. If Fede's change of agent is taken for the sign it likely represents, then it truly is...
The juxtaposition of these two images captures the angst of the matter between the two perfectly.

Given the blowup between Berna and BB, and given that his pay isn't over the top like Insigne's, a transfer out is highly likely IMO.
The reports of Berna's vape pen antics, his toxic relationship with BB, plus not getting along with the North American players suggests that (while talented) he is a proverbial locker-room cancer and will need to be cut for the team to be healthy.

I remain a touch skeptical that we *can* move him away, but that agent change sure suggests both parties are agreed we'll try
If he moves, I'm sure it'll be a loan where we cover most of the costs, as is seemingly always the case with us.
I just think if we move past all those things about locker room dynamics and even his considerable talents, his fit for this team is extremely poor. The guy who we pay 8 million dollars a year (or 16 if they are hiding the other half) is criminally under utilized.
You sign Lozenzo Insigne, you need a) a real striker who can actually put the ball in the net. B) at least one midfielder who can find LI in advanced positions. C) Ideally, someone on the opposite side of the field who plays in an advanced position and is incredibly fast so when the defenders overload LI, a simple switch of the field punishes the other team with a player who can get towards goal in a hurry.
Bernie is, at best, a square peg in a round hole at any of these things. And I think he’s talented and like his game but it’s just the wrong fit with us committed to LI.
To be clear, none of this is meant to absolve Bob (he needs to go).

An absurd or a not so absurd take? Intellectually amusing nonetheless! Loosely fits the Athletic narrative...
EDIT: BB's valuation: MAK>Fede?

You know, if I wanted to see rando's on twitter opinions about TFC, I'd just follow the #tfclive hashtag.
^You do have to wonder though... why not Bernie. If you say should be a Canadian, then it should be Osorio? I actually don't have an axe to grind with MAK, it is not his fault someone wanted to pay that for him. I would tell any player to take it, just be aware of the repercussions now set on expectations. And the criticisms come when they are not me. And that above all is the Bernie and LI issue. They took the money, they are in the limelight, can't say woe is me. I do want them to say here's how we can play better and then back it up.
A little bird tells me there has been coach discussion about using him as a striker, but that's all they knew. I mean, I think it's the only possible solution.
Just spitballing. If there is consideration of Fede as the stkr, then I think BB should try for a half putting Lollo in the hole as the sstkr with Raoul at LW, Kobe at LFB and with Richie at RW, JMR at RFB; using a double pivot of MAK and Brandon?
