With the silly season underway the rumours are piling up, but over the last couple of days a lot of reports have come out that suggest the Jozy Altidore acquisition is very much going to happen, that it will be a DP contract, and those reports of a salary of $5-6m weren’t the absolute joke…

MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Jozy Altidore to Toronto FC?
Wheeeeeee! things are picking up nicely now. After this week’s initial rumour of Damien Perquis, half heartedly confirmed as a target by the club, and the appointments of Stuart Neely and Robin Fraser in coaching roles, the week went out with a bang.

Forget the results, look at the vision!
As we all know, yesterday was when Toronto FC outlined it’s ‘vision’ to select media. As a non invitee, I had no choice but to first make fun, (this is practically the Vocal Minority’s hippocratic oath: – ‘First, make fun.’) then sit and wait for the tweets and articles from the poor mopes who’d had…

Tim Bezbatchenko and Greg Vanney reveal TFC’s one vision
Today is the day when Tim Bezbatchenko and Greg Vanney focus on the re-entry draft get together with select media to discuss their ‘vision’ for TFC and the upcoming season.
