preseason, but mailula's team the sundowns drew 2-2 vs gent in a friendly today, who are one of the better teams in belgium.
the more i look at it the more excited i am for this signing.
but do we know if that is a final roster.27 on that roster.can we still add?i think dio is not on the roster.
Found the "tournament regulations" for Leagues Cup!
Yes, additions may be made - during the "player substitution period":
11.2. The player substitution period due to injury, illness or new player acquisition will be from Wednesday, July 12, 2023 to Thursday, August 11, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. ET, before the Quarterfinals are to be played.

Why no Mailula signing yet
Why no any body signing yet? No buyout of Dio?
Crickets...
Not to defend our incompetent management, but to be fair, there's no point buying out Dio until we have someone else signed. There's no point having cap space without having someone else coming in
That and generally you don't use your buyout until you are 100% sure you will not want to use it on somebody else.
Buyout could very well be MB.

bradley has a player option for next year, his contract is up this year.
after the injuries and situation with his dad, i see him likely retiring this season.
We need multiple buyouts, we are going to wind up selling our superdraft first round pick for a buyout, same as happened with Don Dwyer.

Dominade is the most likely ones.
Regarding Bradly. There is no way hell pick up his option. He doesnt have a starting position going into his age 36 year. Hes not fit, like at all and his father is no longer here. His time at Toronto FC is done. Hes paid his dues, but Manning will put him in some kind of coach or front office role im sure of it
Why are we getting or noses out of joint on MB. Does it say anywhere that he wasn’t rehabbing while getting his badges in Wales. I would have to believe there would be as good as or far superior facilities in the UK? I get there are some that have a hate on for MB, and I will agree that hiring BB as the GM and Coach was stupid, but that was Bill Manning that needs to take accountability. we are getting pissed at someone who wants to play, a strong manager or president could have managed that. Manning Out!
There are others I would buy out before him… like Manning.

My take is they're gonna buy out someone taking up an international spot to kill two birds with the one stone. If they announce the kid from South Africa they'll probably announce the buyout at the same time because we'd need the international spot to sign him
In terms of MB as a coach, including possibly at TFC. Like father like son...Discuss.
Sounds like loaning bernardeschi could open a dp spot as they got him for free.

BREAKING: Austin FC closing in on deal to acquire CB Matt Hedges from Toronto FC, sources tell The Athletic.
Final details being ironed out but Toronto expected to receive $500k GAM.
Hedges, who is FC Dallas' all-time leader in apps, is back in Texas.
Wow. You don’t make that move unless you have someone lined up. I know he has been oft injured but we are really thin at that position
