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.

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…

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.

When is a record fee not a record fee?
Remember yesterday when the vague unsubstantiated reports were of TFC getting a near MLS record fee for Defoe, with figures like $10m or $11m being thrown around. If not, here’s another one fresh from tonight from Kurt Larson where ‘in the neighbourhood of $11m’ is the figure thrown out there. MLS record don’t you know!…

We’ve got a brand new TFC podcast for you, and we’re still in speculation and wishing mode as the gang discusses potential signings, good and terrible, as well as the MLS Combine.

THE STARTING 11: Re-branding ideas for the lower MLS SuperDraft rounds
At last count, MLS’ ever-expanding tally of clubs will be selecting draft eligible players over thirty-something rounds of the SuperDraft. OK, I may be exaggerating – slightly – but talk to me in a couple of years when Las Vegas is on the clock. Back to the present though and while MLS loves to trump…

Episode 68 15/01/09 #TheySaidDoody
We’ve survived Y2K14 (which wasn’t a real thing as it turns out) and decided to round up the crew and have a wee recorded chat about the Toronto Effs & Cees. I

A late season road trip to Montreal to end the season, Orlando City FC twice in August and playing Manchester New York City FC three times (only game in TO is pre Fat Frank though – sorry Chelsea City fans/not sorry), this season and kicking it off at home on Mother’s Day – yes the…
