Today we saw some more pretty noteworthy player movement in MLS, particularly for Toronto FC. The Reds have gone on a bit of a spree lately, trying to prove to their fans that they really are interested in making the playoffs and improve results. Last month they splurged in the DP market, adding defender Torsten Frings and striker Danny Koevermans.
Today they made even more moves. In a deal with Canadian rivals Vancouver Whitecaps, they acquired MF and Canadian International Terry Dunfield in exchange for cash and future considerations. Dunfield was considered an odd man out after the Caps signed DP Mustapha Jarju earlier this week. They had to let someone go to make way on the roster, and TFC wanted Dunfield. Dunfield has said that he's excited for the chance to participate in the CONCACAF Champions League.
In a separate move, TFC acquired Jamaican International MF/F Ryan Johnson from the San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for Alan Gordon, MF Jacob Peterson, and DF Nana Attakora. Great move for TFC I think, Gordon has been a good player, but often injured while Johnson is flat out awesome. I'm not really sure about how this fits into the Quakes plans, perhaps we'll see more in the coming days.
Possibly very good moves for TFC. We'll see if all these new players can fit into Aron Winter's system, because the players so far this year haven't been.
