Toronto FC presser with major announcement starting NOW:

Hoping it will be Defoe. Not sure that's possible yet though since the international transfer window doesn't open up till Jan 1.

Name definitely sounds familiar, but I don't know much about this guy. I have some research to do.

EDIT: Winger depth. Strikes me as a guy Vermes thinks will be a good fit. Like Kei or Nagamura. Not a ton of previous success. Hopefully, he becomes a regular here. He does have a cap with USMNT. My hope is that he's better than Jacob Peterson and will take playing time from him (if we keep him - hopefully not).

Signing of Gilberto, a young Brazilian striker. $3m transfer fee. I don't know who he is. I'm not sure if he will be a DP or not. Pretty exciting. Doesn't seem much different than when they signed Maxi Urruti though, and like six months after signing him, they traded him to Portland for Bright Dike.

EDIT: Confirmed that Gilberto is a DP.

If this ever becomes an uncapped league SKC is mumped.

Seems to have a pretty good goal-scoring record.

I've always been pretty confident in saying it will always have a cap. Or at least it will for a very very long time. Cap needs to be increased though especially with the league expanding so quickly.

The Brian Ching testimonial match is tonight. Apparently Jimmy Conrad will be playing in it.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #6738 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:05:12 PM »

Zizzo and Chance Myers are both UCLA products. Zizzo was there 05-06 and Myers 06-07, so they overlapped by a year. Wonder if they're buds!

sunny_cat · « **Reply #6739 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:14:24 PM »

Holy crap. Adam Moffat to FC Dallas for Kenny Cooper + allocation money.

This heats up rumors that Eddie Johnson is on his way out.

100%. I'm sure they would have moved him no matter what. RT @BradShapiroKC Do you think SEA will really try to move EJ now?

scottwildcat · « **Reply #6740 on:** December 13, 2013, 04:18:59 PM »

Don't like EJ, but as I've said before: I will be the first one on the fanboy bandwagon if he starts banging in goals.

He's a ten goal player for us if he plays on the wing. Fifteen if he starts in the center. Honestly don't know which would be more likely. In Peter's system, I tend to see him more as a winger. Peter doesn't seem to have a problem playing center forwards out wide. (Kei, Soony, CJ).

EJ is also a serious threat on setpieces. Great in the air.

Soony tweeted "it's been real KC

Well we just signed Zizzo who plays in Soony's spot. If we do trade him, I'd think we'd get a ton in return.
