Chey-what? Benoit Cheyrou signed up by TFC
EDIT: This was written when it was just a rumour, merely a twinkle in John Molinaro’s eye. It’s now official, see tweets below. Sacre rouge! It looks like Toronto FC may be in the midst of a mini-French Revolution with the club linked with midfielder Benoit Cheyrou by Sportsnet’s John Molinaro. The 33-year-old who has…

MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Gilberto To Sign With Vasco da Gama?
We all know that it’s just a matter of when, not if, Gilberto is traded away from Toronto FC. Dispense with any thoughts that TFC will pay down his salary with some of their sweet, sweet allocation moneyz; as foolish as this team often is with its money, they’re not that foolish. So unless…

Wet Wiedeman Is No More: Andrew Wiedeman Signs With Ottawa Fury FC
It’s truly over – #WetWiedeman will be seen no more at BMO Field for Toronto FC. Sigh. What? I can mourn the loss of my favourite hashtag creation can’t I? Andrew Wiedeman was one of the first players that TFC released after the season ended and instead of trying to catch on with another MLS…

THE STARTING 11: Toronto FC Video Games
One of the pleasures of off-season transfers is the chance for video game aficionados (or “gamers” as the kidz on the streetz call themselvez) to create their club’s new line-up in their football game of choice. Before the new squad even laces up a boot in real-life, grown men sitting around in their underwear have…

Giovinco still has his soul, but what’s his motivation?
So, we all know no matter how much management is talking it up, Sebastian Giovinco’s not coming to MLS and Toronto FC for the challenge, it’s all about the money. Nothing unusual about that, players move to all sorts of teams in all sorts of leagues for the sake of a good pay cheque, which…
