Attakora signs with DCU

[GoGo Yubari]

Aaaaand Taylor Twellman is saying that Toronto is close to signing Michael Bradley. What the fuck?

EDIT: Alexi Lalas also saying it now. I... wow. Huh.

[HailtotheYo]

Luke Wileman (TSN soccer host) has stated that it has been confirmed to him as "a very real possibility" ..... Ugh ... yeah

[Szumi]

What a horrible career move. He played well for Roma. I think he could be an excellent starter for teams in Italy, Germany, or even England.

[GoGo Yubari]

Apparently a done deal according to the same guy who was the first to confirm Dempsey to Seattle. I don't even... wow.

RSL hires Daryl Shore as a new assistant coach.

Shore was previously the head coach of Ft Lauderdale until he was fired for leading the Strikers to an embarrassing 7 points in 12 games in the spring phase of the NASL 2013 season.

ESPNFC is reporting that it has been confirmed to them: http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1674922/toronto-fc-set-acquire-michael-bradley-roma?cc=5901

Holy fucking balls.

So Raven ... we got Restrepo in exchange for the lodging this year ? talk about WOW

[OctoberRaven]

Honestly Restrepo can be a burden sometimes. He's got fantastic speed but he tries to shoot from positions he has no clear chance of scoring from a lot, and more often than not he ends up losing possession as a result.

He'd be a great winger if he actually passed to someone now and again.

I'd be more upset if we lost Darnell King. Thank fuck that's not happening.

Bradley's agent confirms. He's a TFC player now.
