    So this will be great signing for us? Nice! Just looking at his stats, he didn't play much last season (injury?), but season before that, he scored 6 league goals and had 5 league assists in 34 league games.

    Any further posts about Moralez should be deleted immediately. Let the deal go down in complete silence without media leaks... Please....

    Moralez was one of the stars for Argentina; second best behind Aguero. That team had Di Maria, too. Chile had some amazing players. Dos Santos for Mexico - had a blast watching them annihilate the North York Astros up at the corner of Bathurst and Finch. Great players to be sure!

    From the Molinaro article in Today's news
    Payne also confirmed that TFC has had preliminary conversations with Australian A-League team Wellington Phoenix about midfielder Jeremy Brockie, currently on loan with the Reds, about signing him to a full-time deal.
    Payne said that if any long-term deal with Brockie, who still have two years left on his contract with Wellington, likely wouldn’t happen until next year.

    Not trying to be negative about him because I know very little about him but where is all this "great pedigree" talk coming from?

    If this signing doesn't happen I think it's safe to say the Front Office is just name dropping to generate buzz around the team.

    Argentine u20 international. Top player at U20 world cup alongside Aguero.
    Capped once by Argentina.
    Good goal scoring record
    Atalanta paid $8million for 50% of his rights.

    MLS Transfers@MLSTransfers2mMoralez has better speed than Donovan and better passer than Morales. Thinking the transfer fee would be through the roof. Maybe $5 $6 mill

    Honestly, this is what it seems like right now. No reason for this name to get out.

    I get that, but Payne said they currently have 2 spots, and can create more.

    I know, lets pick some more absurd reasons why players linked to us are bad... all without having seen them play.

    TIL you need to be tall and run fast to be a creative attacking midfielder. If Moralez is indeed a player that's ready to sign with us, then great! I'd much rather have someone with his profile than a superstar who's got one eye on retirement and the other on his bank account.

    Moralez was excellent in the 2007 tournament. I watched him play twice, including the final, and he was constantly involved in the midfield. Quite the player, stature aside. Head and shoulders technically above the MLS, with quickness to burn. Hard to knock a guy off the ball if you can't find him!

    Serious questions though:



    1. When is the last time Kristian Jack got a scoop?
    2. And, when is the last time this head office let a name slip out, other then Forlan (who was told to everybody and obviously was a planned leak)?

    He's actually a player I've kept track of through his career. The only thing holding him back from massive success in Europe is his size. His taller peers are among the best in the game.

    I got to see him a lot during that tournament, too. He won the award for second best player in the cup - behind only Aguero and ahead of people like Alexis Sanchez - and was third leading scorer. Very insistent and creative, as I recall from those games.

    Pretty sure KJ was the first to mention Urruti earlier in the year.

    I'd love to have him and I just hope he has some quality to work with up front.

    Not always our front office dropping names. Can be from the other side or Italian/Argie reporters too. Everyone automatically thinks our FO is all BS.

    Agreed I'd like to have at least 1 EXPERIENCED player on TFC, whom can teach these young pups the ropes.

    I like the age of this guy. If you're going to splash cash and use a DP spot, I like that it's not on an old man. He looks like a very good player and therefore I'm sure TFC won't get that red shirt on him. I hope they do though

    Plata disproved the theory that short guys cant play in MLS
    “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

    I thought about including Henry in what I consider the core of this team going forward, but for me he's not there yet. All the other guys have proven they can deliver game in and game out. Henry is still a little too raw for me. Ask me again in two years and I can probably give a definitive answer.


    Caldwell still has a minimum of two good years left on him, maybe more if we're lucky. I still consider him a key player for us because reaching the playoffs with him is well within his time frame, which is all I really care about for now. He'll still be a rock next year.


    As for Maximiliano Moralez, small size only matters when you don't have the skill. This ain't Joao Plata we're talking about. He'd be the best on-the-ball player in our team's history by a mile. Quick, creative, inventive, pretty much what you look for in a CAM.
