Chicago Fire Acquire Gilberto Off Waivers: Welcome Back Gil, Maybe It’s Really Your Time To Shine!
It was inevitable wasn’t it? That Gilberto would come back to MLS but in no way would he be able to come back to Toronto FC – Core DP or no. And well, he’s baaaack (in pog form!). After rumblings the past few days that things had soured at Vasco de Gama – not to mention his lack of production of late – there came talk that he was looking to return to MLS. What we didn’t know was that Vasco had...
So Long Gil – This Is Your Time To Shine! TFC Loan Gilberto to Vasco da Gama
To paraphrase the Just For Laughs guy: ‘Mommy! It’s Over!’, so ends the all too short time of Gilberto here at Toronto FC. Sigh.

In this episode Duncan’s patriotic displays are equivalent to a certain hawk, Mark thinks he knows what’s really going on with this survey, Kristin...
THE STARTING 11: Giovinco-esque nicknames for other Toronto FC players

But what of Giovinco’s new...
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 the MLS rule gods decide to bestow a fourth DP spot upon the teams then he is gone; off to slay wolves for another team and...
