Well its official,
Julio Cesar is Toronto FC bound, he officially signed to the team on loan from
Queen’s Park Rangers (QPR) which is also where Ryan Nelson came from (TFC
coach). Current keeper Joe Bendik sure got a shot to his ego for TFC acquiring Cesar but not many players, especially keepers, will get the one-on-one
mentorship that Cesar will provide. Julio Cesar is on loan, he will leave
eventually and Joe Bendik should make the best of having an EPL/Serie A experienced
keeper at arms length.
Why the
move for Cesar? He wasn’t getting the playing time at QPR, just like Dafoe,
both of them wanted to play and keep themselves going ahead of the World Cup
2014 in Brazil .
It’s not
normal for Toronto
teams to dish out on players, with the exception of the Toronto Blue Jays last
season. Many heated discussions have taken place among friends and family of
the lack of seriousness MLSE has to succeed and get players since they make money regardless of making post seasons, but the question has always been …with all the money in the world, why don’t you spend it on
players? Sure, the answers are salary caps and trades not going through but
finally we have a TFC team to be excited about!
MLSE and
TFC are showing us fans that they are serious, and thank the football gods for
this! TFC have not made a post season appearance since their arrival to MLS in
2007.
Here’s
what we added:
Julio
Cesar: 77 international caps for Brazil and starting keeper, on loan
from QPR and former Internazinale keeper from Serie A.
Michael
Bradley: 82 international caps for USA , signed from AS Roma of Serie A
and former MLS player with EPL experience.
Gilberto
Oliveira Souza Junior: Comes from Brazil ’s Serie A, the last team he
played for was Portuguesa where he scored 17 goals in 24 games. He chose to
come to the MLS turning down offers from Germany
and Mexico .
Make sure you buy your tickets in advance because TFC will be the hottest ticket to get.
