October 7th, 2008 . By: Chamo Jones

Yesterday it was a one line comment at the end of an article from the other side of the Atlantic. Buzz or one of the other local beat writers should be able to confirm from this end if an offer has been made.

TFC is coming to town

Coming off a big victory, TFC has been put at a disadvantage in its playoff drive because of international commitments - Toronto Sun - G. Wheeler

As for FC Dallas, it is virtually unaffected by World Cup qualifying.

In fact, Canadian defender Adrian Serioux will be included on the FC Dallas side, suspended internationally because of yellow card accumulation.

The gain for FC Dallas isn’t only Canada’s loss, but a loss for TFC as well, with centre-back Kevin Harmse being called to the Canadian side to cover for Serioux’s absence.

    BM to FCD is crazy unless we are paying $5 Million or so. Oh, this is a Hunt team so that’s not happening so no Ze for us.

    it seems like a long shot, but i take it FCD won’t have to give up a transfer fee b/c he’s out of contract. i don’t even want to dwell on this b/c i don’t want to get too excited at something that may not happen. maybe he’s using us as a bargaining chip just like how pitchers use the rangers.

    or, the brazilian connection FCD has may be stronger than we realize.

    Holy crap. I can’t even contemplate how cool that would be… Ze Roberto is world class. I refuse to get my hopes up for this…. Wait, too late….

    Whoa. I’m geeked by this, but then again, I’m still waiting for Claude Makelele to show up in Hoops…

    Ze would be a great piece for this team, but would cost some $$(wages) that I m not sure FC is willing to pay…. Over 1.5million

    is he a wide midfielder? cuz thats what we need. Sikora & Ze Roberto on the wings would be good.

    Yeah, he’s a left wing. This sounds promising. Now we’ll get to see just how much money will pony up on Schellas’s orders.
    Here’s his wiki page:

    Chamo… FYI - Article says that’s Teddy’s niece, not daughter. Doesn’t necessarily change the premise of your comment, however…

    Good catch Marco. I briefly glanced at the article, wondered about the timeline, and proceeded to make a smart alecky comment.

    Every Burn fan loved Ted Eck!
