Again, don't want to beat the same drum, but Defoe has been done for over a month.

Which leaves us with:

Bendik
X-Caldwell-Henry-Morgan
X-Laba-Osorio-X
Defoe-Gilberto

Assuming that Ecks is shipped out as has pretty much been said, we need a defender and two wingers. Rumors are that TFC is talking to Nana Attakora to bring him back, and has reached out to DeRosario's agent.

Regardless, if we can get a quality winger that can cover the entire pitch, this will be our best roster on paper to date. As is, we lack playmaking down the flanks.

Until he signs on the dotted line, it's not done. Many a player has walked away from a so called done deal for a better one when the agreement hasn't been signed.

DeRo is back and it feels so good!

Not the same player as he was before, but hopefully it rights some wrongs and helps right the ship.

I'm excited.

Anyone know how or even if its possible to buy a few matches in the supporters sections? Every match I go to, I generally move over to empty seats in the RPB's section, but I'd like to actually buy seats there ahead of time. Or is the only way to get tickets there by being a member?

DeRo has officially signed on.

Still no word on Defoe.

Finally from a source worth believing. Defoe deal must be close.

Last season it was around January 20th, so expect roughly the same.

They normally train for a few days in Ontario before heading to Florida/Carolina for training and exhibition games.

So happy it's finally confirmed.

We have been burned in the past with rumours, so it's nice to finally have this one wrapped up.

Absolutely. I can see how anyone would take these with a grain of salt.

From what I had been told however, this one wasn't really a rumour.

This team is an offensive Mid away from being very good. As of right now, all we have in mid is Osorio and Laba. A two way player with pace down the flanks would do wonders for this team.

You mean a midfielder like the rumoured Michael Bradley?

Links to TFC are starting to appear.

With all these Youtube videos promoting something big I'm starting to imagine a DeRo/Defoe/Bradley 3 person press conference.

Post #836 » by **5DOM** » Wed Jan 8, 2014 7:37 pm

Think Bradley could be a massive coup

MaliBrah · Post #837 » by **MaliBrah** » Wed Jan 8, 2014 7:40 pm

Im not sure if im buying into Bradley, but if it happens WOW what a signing that would be. It'd be a terrible move for him making the switch from Serie A to MLS on a World cup year, but the signing would be massive, great for MLS. I'd love to see it happen, honestly.
