When this rumour first appeared in The Word a couple of weeks ago, it was assumed that it would disappear rather quickly. Here we are though, the Gold Cup is over for Canada and Julian De Guzman is still sans club.TFC has been very vocal that a substantial DP offer is on the table if De Gu wants to come home. Director of Football Mo Johnston even joined the broadcast team during Saturday's match to push the point home. "I think it's down to him to decide if he wants to come in or not," was what manager Chris Cummins added about the rumours after the match.
De Guzman has been forthright about his desire to return to Europe, particularly Spain, but are the offers coming in? Names like Celtic, Portsmouth and Spurs had also been floating around but it all seems to be quiet. Will De Guzman really choose Spain if the only offers are from the likes of Valladolid and Xerex? Will the sudden spending power of MLSE tip the scales in favour of a life on turf? Either way, TFC is at least entertaining the thought of bringing in a player who could potentially be the best in MLS.
WORD FACTOR: 5 / 10
