LETTERS FROM CAMP: Zavaleta in, Gilberto probably out.
Finally it’s here, the first day of camp, a time to be all excited about re-uniting with old friends and making new ones. To be wide eyed at the thought of the amazing adventures that everyone’s going to have together, whilst being apprehensive of the challenges that are sure to come as we all head into the unknown together. This year there is of course an all american theme to the camp, with Tim, Robin and...
Toronto FC officially sign Damien Perquis
We have another new player in through the revolving door, as this morning the signing of Damien Perquis was announced by Toronto FC. Unlike Jozy Altidore or Giovinco, there was no great ceremony to this one, merely a press release, an article on the website and a photo of him holding up the shirt (number 24, and he clearly has a lot to learn as he appears to be smiling.) Despite the lack of fanfare, hype and exorbitant salary, this...
TFC II officially announced
The hits just keep on coming for Toronto FC, with varying degrees of importance. Kyle Bekker going to FC dallas for allocation money broke yesterday though it’s still not official. Difficult to say if it’s a good deal without knowing how many garberbucks we get back, and there is now of course the chance for him to be just the next player who improves after leaving and makes us look silly, but all in all, that’ll...
Bye Bye Bekker: Kyle Is Off To FC Dallas
Bye Bye Bekker – looks like Kyle Bekker is heading off to FC Dallas in return for everyone’s favourite, allocation money. Word broke on twitter from multiple places last night that the Canadian midfielder was heading off to the toasty environs of Frisco, Texas. They’re going to have to dip him in sunscreen during summer games – a more combustible player we’ve not seen since the departure of Ecks. For...
Up and Atom! Reds “unveil” Giovinco
Well that was an odd little presser wasn’t it? It wasn’t the dog and pony show of the Jermain Defoe/Michael Bradley event a year ago. It wasn’t the “we gotta clear the room in five minutes for the maid” production they put on for Jozy Altidore a week ago. Actually it wasn’t like many player introductions we’ve seen – as it didn’t contain an actual player. But did it really matter?...
Juve Gotta Be Kidding?! Reds Sign Giovinco
Remember the “Bloody Big Deal” ad last year when the stereotypical posh British gent spat his tea all over his newspaper? Imagine that. Except this time imagine the Montreal Impact Board of Directors. Now imagine they just read that Toronto FC have signed Juventus attacker Sebastian Giovinco. Now imagine they are eating big, sweaty provolone balls – that just makes it funnier. But it’s no joke. Ok, the...
