Toronto FC coach Sir Mo Johnston attempted to land Polish international defender Jacek Bak while coaching the New York Metrostars last year. While unsuccessful in his attempts to bring him stateside, he has apparently continued to pursue the 34 year old Bak in hopes of bringing him to Toronto. The Polish international scored last month in a European Cup Qualifier against Azerbaijan, currently plays for Al Rayyan in Qatar. He has played for Lech Pozan, Lyon, and Lens amongst others during his career. At 34 I hardly consider Bak "Designated Player" material, though he would surely excite the huge Polish community in our city if he indeed signs on.
Johnston officially revealed his interest in Bak to Dean McNulty of the Toronto Sun, though it doesn't sound likely that a move will be made anytime soon from this article.http://torontosun.canoe.ca/Sports/OtherSports/2007/04/19/4067279-sun.html

now that the transfer window has closed, I assume Mo can't get Bak until the summer window.
