TFC!!! TFC!!! TFC!!!

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.

Jermain Defoe: 55 international caps for England, signed from Tottenham Hotspurs of the EPL.

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.

Jermain Defoe Arrives in Toronto

New Faces in Toronto FC

A few weeks ago Toronto FC signed Brazilian national Gilberto Oliveira Souza Junior who was a surprise signing and a good one but Monday marks a new day in Toronto with the signing of Jermain Defoe from the Tottenham Hotspur of the EPL and English national player and Michael Bradley from AS Roma of Serie A and USA national player, it was a packed house at the Real Sports Bar outside the Air Canada Centre for the player introductions with fan shouting their approval and genuine enthusiasm. The media and TFC press are labeling this new era "A Big Bloody Deal" and that is absolutely bang on! Toronto FC is a team that's tries yet fails but as a die hard fan it is about time that TFC finally got it right, we need playoffs, we need some sense of belonging in the league and we need TFC to give us fans something back!!!

March marks TFC's season start with these new signings and the return of Dwayne De Rosario who left TFC because he wanted more money but as the forgiving bunch we are we are happy to see DeRo back in red.

It has been many years of heartache for the post season, time will tell if Toronto FC does in fact finally have the right guys on the pitch to get the wins or will this team continue to produce sub par results leaving us devoted fans slumped over in our seats?

I'm excited, you should be to!
