@CWGSomerville Also, another CB is a must. The group has a lot of potential, but it's an unproven group and three of them couldn't finish the season because of injury last year.
English

@CWGSomerville Could really use another midfielder. Oso is getting older and has missed chunks of seasons in each of the past 5 years and Cifuentes is far from a guarantee to be here past June.
English

This also likely means #TFCLive sticks with the same formation as last season. A depth chart of the photo below (with versatility based on health and opposition) is very solid. Add a DP9, and this team is a major contender in MLS.

Salloi made 1.3 million last season, so he will be high TAM. This type of move makes a lot of sense for #TFCLive because he’s gone through an MLS training camp, so should be immediately available. This is the last year on his deal, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they extend him.
English

@CWGSomerville Deleted it because I had a feeling someone might get very upset about it and send me some DMs that I really didn't want. Haha. Appreciate you, brother.
English

It feels like everyone in the #TFCLive community has PTSD right now. There is clear desperation for TFC to make new signings, and justifiably so, but at the same time there’s an underlying crippling anxiety that all of the new signings are going to turn out as busts…

@gdg_9 @tombogert But Ojogo (A Portuguese outlet) did have it first.
English

@tombogert Kristian Jack, Matthew Scianetti, and other Canadian Soccer media were reporting this days ago...
English

🇨🇦 Sources: LAFC to sign Canadian int'l midfielder Stephen Eustaquio from FC Porto. Ojogo 1st.
Eustaquio, 29, has 54 caps for Canada. Made 156 appearances for Porto. nytimes.com/athletic/70165…

@tombogert @CLMerlo Biggest Colombian signing of the week in MLS.
English

🇨🇴🔴 Sources: Toronto FC is finalizing a deal to sign Colombian youth int'l Emilio Aristizábal from Atletico Nacional. @CLMerlo 1st reported.
Deal is a loan with option to buy.
Aristizábal, 20, already has 12 first team goals. Featured for Colombia at U-20 World Cup.

Cyle Larin looking to leave his loan to Feyenoord early to get regular playing time ahead of the World Cup, per to @FabrizioRomano
Got to think Toronto FC are taking a look at him, considering the hiccups in the Josh Sargent deal.
Scoring goals in MLS wouldn’t hurt.
English

@CWGSomerville This description could also fit Dom Dwyer circa 2021. 😉
English

@MikeForbes101 Lazy, easy, convenient, doesn’t matter to me, it’s a striker with a pulse who’s got a bit of a history scoring goals 😅.
English

This would make a TON of sense for #TFCLive on loan. Manageable salary to fit under TAM, an experienced striker both in MLS and Europe, likely highly motivated ahead of the World Cup, and another domestic (which could work doubly well if they pivot from Sargent to an INT player.
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano
🚨🇨🇦 Cyle Larin, set to leave Feyenoord with loan deal being interrupted ahead of new move in January. Four clubs already keen on signing the striker with decision soon; he’s ready for new chapter to get regular game time ahead of World Cup.
English

@eric__jf He isn't the guy, and that's fine. Now, we can actually attempt to find that guy again though.
English

On what happened where Tua didn't have that conviction McDaniel has mentioned a few times:
This is a player who's M.O. had been growth, exceptional learner and he's always evolving. There's compounding variables. You can't pinpoint 1-2 things. I still believe his growth can continue but I couldn't responsibly play this next game with hope when there was an option available.

@tombogert Aw. It is so generous to include our stupid Canadian teams. Thanks MLS!

@tombogert @PaulTenorio Just breaking my self imposed Twitter exile to say that this is fucking stupid.

BREAKING: MLS owners have voted and passed a schedule change. The league will run from the late summer months through May

Spoke to Jesse Marsch this morning, he sounded concerned about Richie Laryea and Sam Adekugbe's injuries from the weekend, but didn't sound as concerned about Alphonso Davies @TSN_Sports @TSNSoccer

@NoterTodFooty Muting the words "Trump" "politics" "Elon" and "war" is a must do on here if you want to see anything besides those fuckers on your FYP.
