The one and only buzz around TFC this week are the rumours circling around Julian De Guzman. Some stories have the deal as much as 90% completed while others seem to be taking it with a pinch of salt, especially supporters.
The story does seem to have some holes in it. Why would a 28 year-old in the prime of his career, a starter at Deportivo La Coruna in Spain's La Liga, suddenly drop down the equivalent of two divisions? Would he really make the jump to MLS for a big pay cheque? Does he miss Scarborough that much? Does he want to be called De Gu?
The whole story could be a very well orchestrated publicity campaign to up De Guzman's value in Europe. Meanwhile, MLSE could be happily joining in the game to show the supporters they are "trying" to sign a DP while knowing all along it won't happen. If De Guzman was 32, the story would seem plausible. With potential suitors in England, Spain and Scotland still sniffing about - it does not. Prove us wrong MLSE...please.
WORD FACTOR: 3 / 10
