Toronto FC officially sign Damien Perquis

We have another new player in through the revolving door, as this morning the signing of Damien Perquis was announced by Toronto FC. Unlike Jozy Altidore or Giovinco, there was no great ceremony to this one, merely a press release, an article on the website and a photo of him holding up the shirt (number 24, and he clearly has a lot to learn as he appears to be smiling.) Despite the lack of fanfare, hype and exorbitant salary, this...

TFC II officially announced

The hits just keep on coming for Toronto FC, with varying degrees of importance. Kyle Bekker going to FC dallas for allocation money broke yesterday though it’s still not official. Difficult to say if it’s a good deal without knowing how many garberbucks we get back, and there is now of course the chance for him to be just the next player who improves after leaving and makes us look silly, but all in all, that’ll...
