KJ comes out and says this is the guy he has heard about - repeats the "its not done yet" line.

here come our local journos...a hour after the fact and the same lines has always...not done yet.a long way from being done..lol
Apparently Genks average salaries are in the range of €235,000. Doesn’t tell us much. TFC’s average is something like $800,000
And there are problems for both Genk and Toronto FC in this negotiation phase. Toronto plays the nice guy role and says we will take Pozuelo in May after your Europa League run and then has the problem of watching their property (Alejandro Pozuelo) risk injury in tough competition (plus league play). If Genk falters in EL the local fans are going to be annoyed with the club putting a star player in a compromised position for months... is he ours or is he theirs?
Yes, they don’t want to let a key player go while they’re on top of the table and still competing in Europa League. As their window has closed, they can’t bring in a replacement.
Would be a big loss for them. Also, he recently signed a new contract after China was after him and the club didn’t want to let him go. His transfer fee will be over $10m as his old release clause was around that.
Pozuelo plays with Jonathan David, so David would have told Pozuelo all about Canada (if the rumour is true)
“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.”

I just trolled through the 2014-2015 off season speculation thread - God we were all so naive then.
Anyways, I was trying to judge opinions of Giovinco at the time - consensus was strong that he was worth it but there were complications. Reading through the thread, there were a lot of potential transfers that ended in nothing but 2 big ones made in the end - Defoe for Alitdore & Giovinco in.
It took a long time to get it all together though.
Times are different now - we got 10 days. And there is no "In Bez we trust" feeling. Oh well, rather us then being an Impact fan.

Weird thought ruminating on those days.
What if we trade Jozy to Genk? Like, he goes there in August?

Trade Jozy? seems short sighted, unless TFC have other strikers in mind. Replace VV with Pozuelo I understand, but without scorers TFC would be all feed with no finish.
Interesting proposition to have Pozuelo come now on a fee but kick Jozy to them for free in July. Wouldn't do it myself but interesting.
Pozuelo would seem like a rushed signing, hope this isnt the solution from Giovinco
