| quote: | TORONTO FC RELEASE DEFENDER VELEZ; SIGN FELLINGA
Toronto FC's roster is in a state of flux once again as the team announced the release of defender Marco Velez on Thursday.
The release comes on the heels of the team announcing the signing of Haitian defender Lesly Fellinga on Wednesday.
“We wish Marco all the best in the future, but we needed to make some changes going forward into the final stretch of the regular season,” said manager, director of soccer Mo Johnston in a statement.
The 29-year old Velez signed as a free agent in March of 2008. He made 38 appearances for TFC, starting 31 games and scoring two goals.
Meanwhile the 23-year old Fellinga arrives after spending last season with SC Heerenveen of the Dutch Eredivisie. The Haitian national represented his adopted home, the Netherlands at the Under-15, 17 and 19 levels.
Fellinga will be available for selection by Toronto FC pending the approval of his ITC and work permit. He is scheduled to begin training with the team on Friday prior to Saturday's match against D.C. United. |

HMM???
Danny Dichio appears to have played his final game for Toronto FC.
The 34-year-old will announce his retirement at a press conference on Wednesday morning. Contrary to other reports this press conference is not to introduce Julian De Guzman. Sources close to De Guzman informed me today that the Canadian international will definitely not be introduced at that press conference.
Dichio, who played the final 20 minutes in Saturday's loss to Colorado, is expected to take up a coaching job at BMO Field with immediate effect.
At some point on Wednesday the club is hopeful of securing the deal for Julian De Guzman. After landing in the country on Sunday night, Julian De Guzman and his representatives spent Monday putting the finishing touches on a deal that will see him play for Toronto FC for the remainder of this season and the following three seasons after that.
Although the possibility of a player's opt-out clause was discussed, in the end it was left out of the contract that will see him become just the second designated player in the league with 3+ years guaranteed. (David Beckham is the first).
De Guzman's deal was approved by MLSE and the only thing that stood in the way after Monday was approval from the league and the need for Mo Johnston to free cap space to allow the 28-year-old to join the squad immediately.
As of Tuesday afternoon the league had still not give their approval on the contract.

Just watched the press conference. The man is a stand up guy, taking one for the team so we can clear salary cap space for JDG.
Bye Danny, I love you. |
