TFC-land Playing The Patience Game
By Ben Knight Onward!
The waiting game
How do you prepare for play in a salary-cap soccer league when you don’t actually know what the salary cap will be?
If you’re Toronto FC, apparently you do it cautiously.
For all the Canadian MLS side’s aching roster needs – striker, winger, central defender – things have been very quiet on the off-season player-acquisition front. Defender Ty Harden from Beckhamburg. Knee injury specialist Jacob Peterson from Rocky Mountain FC. A couple of long-shot draft picks.
Yeah, the Reds took a bunch of bright-eyed trialists down to Florida for some exhibition games. None has returned to Toronto with the team.
This leaves TFC with an undermanned roster and a serious lack of money. The cash crunch could be eased by parting with well-paid veterans Carl Robinson and Nick Garcia, but that isn’t happening either.
