Toronto FC: TFC Thread II

[garyjones93]

Can't we lure someone that is younger?? Under 30 and good please

Is there anyone that is under 26 preferably under 24 that is good who we would be able to get?

Also how does loaning work with the cap/dp rule?

It would be nice if we could loan players from the EPL (ones who are too young and inexperienced to play first team minutes), but still good enough to play 1st team in MLS. Goalkeepers are a good example. I'm sure there is a good young goalkeeper in England that is behind one or two veterans and can't play. So they get loaned out, why not try to grab one?

Too add, what about someone like Balotelli, he's not preforming well and needs a confidence boost, let him try here if he can't do it here he's pretty much done. My question is can Liverpool loan him to us and will he count towards the cap and will he count as a dp? If not would it help both teams if he was loaned from end of EPL season to start of the nest one? We'd get someone who could help us score, they would have a struggling player still playing during the off-season trying to find his game.

And if not Balotelli is there anyone in this situation? Remember this loan would only be for the EPL's off-season, so the player is back to start the season.

Also how would it work if we signed an affiliation deal with a team in EPL (we sort of have one with Spurs, but I mean more in the sense they loan us players who doesn't currently help them but would help us)

Vanney confirms interest in Perquis and Altidore.

Canada v Haiti Sat. Jan 10th at 8pm. CONCACAF U-20 action streamed on the CONCACAF
First game if anyone is interested,

 

[Mathew]

U-20 plays today ill post a stream just before the game if anyone is interested.

 

[Mathew]

The Altidore rumor is still strong, and a lot of people still reporting it, but he would cost us a DP spot we don't have

 

[Quares27]

Latest rumour is Giovinco. Apparently TFC have offered him a lot of money to try to lure him from Juve for 2 years.

To me the Altidore rumour makes no sense unless Gilberto is leaving for some reason and i'd probably rather have Gilberto if I had a choice between the two. I'm not even sure Altidore is worthy of a DP spot and he's asking for like 5 million.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't Defoe's departure open one up subsequently?

But I guess Defoe's departure is still up in the air.

To be honest with you i rather move up on the draft and select Cyle Larin He's the better option, won't cost us an international spot or a DP spot

 

[Mathew]

The game will be streamed live at 8pm is anyone is Interested

So Cyle Larin, how is he listed as "Unattached" on the Canaduan U20 roster? If we should be interested in picking him up why does he not have a team after leaving UConn?

Daily mail suggesting it's a straight up swap. Interesting tweets from Sunderland fans:


kieron davis ‏@kierondavis 1m1 minute ago
If this Defoe story is bollocks, then the sun journalist has really put his neck out! Says it's signed and sealed. #safc


Andrew Lonsdale ‏@AndrewLonsdale7 3m3 minutes ago
Not sure about this Defoe crack... 32 and we not exactly going to provide him chance after chance are we #safc


Ross Sanderson ‏@RossSanderson25 6m6 minutes ago
If we do sign Defoe and he scores 15 goals between now and the end of the season I couldn't give a toss what we pay him #safc

 

[Mathew]

Mark Bloom resigns 2 years

 

[Puckstuff]

Wheeler saying it's a done deal. Altidore plus "significant cash" coming back to TFC. - RPB

[JohnnyO]

So, what do you guy's think of this? Defoe obviously wasn't going to stay here, but I don't know much about Altidore as a player.

 

[Quares27]

Altidore + cash is solid value but not the player we need at all... it was said all summer that we're going to bring in a playmaker so i'm not sure what happens now. Either they're not bringing in a playmaker which is what we really need, or there will be 4 DP spots, or Gilberto is going to be sold. Altidore does perfectly fit the striker role in the 4-3-3 formation Vanney likes to play and I know Gilberto has had offers on the table from several leagues before and after we bought him so him being sold could definitely happen which I think is a mistake. Hopefully he scored a lot for us and isn't making too much...

The Sports Room ‏@TSRamadan
According to the fan590, TFC and Sunderland have agreed to swap Jermaine Defoe and Jozy Altidore. #TFC #MLS

The Sports Room ‏@TSRamadan
Deal for Altidore is believed to be for 4 years. Additional bonus of adding Altidore is that he is good friends with Michael Bradley. #TFC

The Sports Room ‏@TSRamadan
@torontofc also interested in #Juventus striker Giovinco, but would have to clear a DP spot to make it happen. #MLS #TFC

Giovinco would be a big coup, but which DP leaves to make it happen? Gilberto would be the only logical choice I imagine because Bradley and Altidore are going nowhere.
