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 patrolled the centre of parks throughout Ligue 1 since 1999 has been regarded in the past as a very...
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.

Wheeeeeee! things are picking up nicely now.

Thursday saw Emmanuel Adebayor linked, though that seemed very much like a reporter lazily picking names to fill out an article about Adebayor saying he’d be interested in...
MALIGNANT RUMOUR: Damien Perquis to Toronto FC
Finally. After what are traditionally the only 2 quiet weeks in the entire MLS calendar (great time to launch a new website eh? we’re geniuses!) and only a couple of TFC stories to follow, the genuinely happy news of Doneil Henry’s transfer to West Ham, and the bitter but necessary following of just where Jermain Defoe’s going to end up (Come on, Sven in China!), we get the first juicy rumour of someone coming in to...
