    .... and Altidore started the year playing on an injured foot during the CCL which finally couldn't take anymore stress requiring in-season surgery! He finished 2017 and scored his MLS Cup winning goal on that same injured foot. Quite inspirational actually!

    Giovinco had 13 goals and 15 assists last year (in MLS regular season alone), and Altidore is domestic.

    The contract was terminated by mutual consent according to Bez in the Toronto Sun.
    Just saying!
    Midfielder Ager Aketxe’s hefty contract, the biggest black mark on the resume of general manager Tim Bezbatchenko so far, was terminated “by mutual consent.”

    Ironically, TFC feels that at least part of what they did last year was a mistake.

    Change "when" to a mighty big "IF". It's like saying "when" the League of Wales is as good as the Premiership, will Swansea and Cardiff City be forced to move?
    Granted, that example is extreme as CPL will not be that much weaker than MLS but in Canada, it will come down to commercial viability. With TFC drawing 27k per match, would you really want it to join a league averaging less than 8k per match?
    It would be cutting off one's nose to spite the face!
    USL and CPL will be comparable thus making this current scenario feasible and realistic!

    In the same vein of crazy panicking, I am extremely worried that there are not yet line-ups outside the stadiums for opening day! C'mon people! Show your excitement and loyalty. Set up a tent and get ready to cheer on your team. You've only got three months!

    Just to keep thecrqzy  trend of panicking in areas where we haven’t specifically heard news  (sponsors, tv/streaming deals, salary cap, etc...). 
    I don’t think any CPL team besides Forge and York are going to have enough players. This extremely reliable twitter account has only been tweeting rumours for York and Forge, so obviously none of the other teams have players. I am extremely worried about this.

    Yes. Bunbury in Hamilton, Montreal and Toronto. I remember watching Fernando Aguiar score a hat-trick against LA Salsa. Onstad in Winnipeg. Berdusco in NY. Mobilio and Catliff in Vancouver. Lyndon Hooper! 
    Lots of players who became household names who went on to good careers!

    $5.2 Billion over 12 years.

    Much more likely CPL would have to pay to get on the air or outright purchase the time and try to support the production via commercial revenue.

    I doubt the original CSL made a cent from TSN. Exposure was the key!

    Many didn't even know about the CSL! After the collapse of the CSL, they did only play one more year that being in the APSL and it was pretty good soccer with at least six CMNT players on the Blizzard roster. They deserved a crowd but couldn't get one.

    To be fair, Chung was with Kaiserslaughtern II, (Bundesliga team's 2nd team), playing in Germany's 5th tier. (Kaiserslaughtern is currently in 3. Liga and the second team must play in no less than two tiers below).  Regardless, the signings are exciting and it's fun to watch the league start to take shape and feel real.

    Truth!
    Edit: .... although I see the details of that signing seem to be different!
    In any case, I'm not sure what people were exactly hoping for at this stage. Maybe at best, a L1 England near the end? Humey perhaps, again at the tail end. Ricketts if he can't get a job in MLS.....but if I'm him, I wait to see if I'm picked up at my 200k however unlikely that might be. Heck, he might be back at TFC for 90k next year.
    Not to be too negative. I'm betting we may see a surprise or two but let's be realistic!
