TORONTO FC NEWS: ITS OFFICIAL + TRADE WITH DC UNITED + CARLSBERG BEER + MLS TIDBITS

- As speculated yesterday, journeyman Welsh International Midfielder Carl Robinson was confirmed earlier today as Toronto FC's newest signing (so much for the club + country captain Mo had us searching for).
- Rod Dyachenko has been traded back to DC United for the first round pick in the 2008 Super Draft.
- Carlsberg Beer has been confirmed as a local corporate sponsor. The Anheuser-Busch agreement with Carlsberg in North America paves the way for this agreement as Budweiser has been a solid MLS partner from Day 1.
-Apparently a goalkeeper and new striker (as he mentioned in the Globe article this morning) are on the way, Sir Mo has alluded they will be arriving from abroad.
- Paulo Nagamura status is in question, immigration issues are at play as are trade scenarios. Colorado has been assembling former Steve Sampson 2005 LA Galaxy members: Jovan Kirovski, Ugo Ihemelu, Herculez Gomez.
- Jose Cancela is still in Mo's plans.
- LA apparently has waived Trinidad & Tobago international Cornell Glen, one time can't miss prospect Memo Gonzalez, and keeper Josh Saunders who has mostly spent time on loan at hometown Portland Timbers. If I recall correctly, Saunders is interesting because he was once rumoured to be eligible to play for Canada because of some sort of parental link. Would be a solid backup if he would somehow count as a Canadian (please drop me a line if anyone out there has any info to confirm or disprove this).
- Some talk that Colorado is re-branding and will be called the Arsenal Colorado FC- it has something to do with the site of their new soccer park in Commerce City, Colorado which was once an ammunition's plant.
- Colorado Supplemental Draft Pick Riley O'Neill has signed on with a team in the lower divisions of Germany as has Canadian International Sandro Grande, courted by a couple of MLS teams last spring, who has moved from Norway to the lower divisions in Germany.
- Interesting to see if T&T International Daryl Roberts has/will arrive to the training camp in Woodbridge, as the Dutch possibilities (Roda JC) are still on the table.
