Toronto FC - Craig Bellamy Set For Toronto FC Move?

There are rumors that Drogba is looking to move to MLS as well.
Anelka is also rumored to be interested in a move to MLS after his time with Chelsea is up.

Justin Bieber recently trained with Barca. I suppose that makes La Liga and Barcelona a joke.

Wait. You're poking fun at my team for not winning MLS Cup in 10 years when it took your team 15 years to get one? That's 15 years to get any trophy. At least my team has gotten a USOC, an MLS Cup, and a Supporter's Shield. Please explain your logic. That doesnt make a damn bit of sense. You're basically slamming your own team.

Peter Vermes was actually on the radio talking about Ochocinco this morning. He basically said he was worried that Ochocinco would make it a media thing and he would disrupt the team. Not only did he not seek out the media, he was extremely respectful and acted like any other newcomer would. The SKC players enjoyed him so much, they pushed for him to get a contract. Omar Bravo, Kei Kamara, and Ryan Smith all pushed for him to get signed.

So, please tell me how it makes the MLS or the team look bad when the players including an international star pushed for him to get a contract? He must not have been that bad.

We are the current holders, that is all you need to understand

I bet Bravo, Kamara and Smith would have learned a lot from a world class athlete like him.

I am sure he was great but just didnt quite cut it for your international band of superstars that you have at SKC.

if some people at the club wanted to give him a contract, that doesn't look good for your club!

From your perspective maybe but I dont see why not.

They felt he was a great presence in the locker room and enjoyed having him around. They felt he worked hard and practice and in his 4 day trial, he improved tremendously.

It still doesnt make sense to poke fun at a team that hasnt won it in 10 years when you your team took 16 years to win their first. If you dont understand how that doesnt make sense then I suggest enrolling in some math courses.

You can learn something from anyone if your mind is open to it.

There is more to training than playing the game. There is weight training, fitness training, speed training, and more. I know I wouldnt mind an NFL wide receiver showing my squad a few things in that regard.

It totally does make sense! But its cool cause you know better because you support the biggest club in MLS that hasn't won it in 10 years.

But there *is* more to Football than being a good athlete .....
