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. They’re going to have to dip him in sunscreen during summer games – a more combustible player we’ve not seen since the departure of Ecks. For...
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.

THE STARTING 11: Differences Between Jozy Altidore and Jermain Defoe’s Press Conferences

Juve Gotta Be Kidding?! Reds Sign Giovinco

Now imagine they are eating big, sweaty provolone balls – that just makes it funnier. But it’s no joke. Ok, the...
Altidore arrives, Chapman signs, 5 get drafted. Busy day for TFC
Well, it was quite the day for Toronto’s squad building attempts, at the DP end, and at the probably USL Pro side as well, one could plausibly call it a SuperDay. First up before all the SuperDraft nonsense (for all the highlights of that, click here.) there was the signing of Jay Chapman.
