Match

Toronto FC through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over CF Montreal, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Henry Wingo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Cruel end for CF Montreal as Toronto FC pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Toronto FC scored in the 91th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market

Kobe Franklin hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Toronto FC can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Deandre Kerr has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Toronto FC they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Matheus Pereira has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Toronto FC can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Match

Toronto FC come up short against Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Benjamín Kuscevic in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Toronto FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Alex Bono will join Toronto FC for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Alex Bono has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Toronto FC have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

Dániel Sallói sends Toronto FC through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Dániel Sallói obliged against Real Salt Lake. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Toronto FC.

Market

Toronto FC say no — this time

The offer from HNK Rijeka for Lewis Morgan was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Nelson Quiñones was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

Vintage Walker Zimmerman — 7.88

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.88, and nobody on the pitch better.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Niklas Dorsch delivers — 7.89

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Niklas Dorsch scored, was marked 7.89, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Boardroom

Deandre Kerr signs for Portland Timbers while still at Toronto FC

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Deandre Kerr has agreed terms with Portland Timbers for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Words exchanged at Toronto FC

Richie Laryea and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Toronto FC find a way past Nashville SC

Nashville SC made Toronto FC work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Transfer targets

Philadelphia Union tell Toronto FC: Jovan Lukić is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings

José Cifuentes pops up at the right end — 7.93

7.93, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Boardroom

Toronto FC close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market

Toronto FC say no — this time

The offer from Seattle Sounders for Deandre Kerr was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Raheem Edwards is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Toronto FC is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Raheem Edwards has agreed to leave Toronto FC for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Djordje Mihailović stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Djordje Mihailović and Toronto FC agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Richie Laryea in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Toronto FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Tomás Romero will join Toronto FC for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Tomás Romero has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Toronto FC have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets

Toronto FC rebuffed over Olivier Mbaizo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Philadelphia Union have kept their man, and Toronto FC go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
