Expansion club Toronto FC may have cured its scoring woes.One of the lowest-scoring clubs in Major League Soccer, Toronto landed some offensive help Tuesday, acquiring forward Jeff Cunningham from Real Salt Lake for forward Alecko Eskandarian and a 2008 first-round draft pick.
Cunningham, 30, is a 10-year veteran and has 93 goals and 57 assists in 246 career games - 162 starts. The 5-7 speedster enjoyed his best season last year, scoring a league-leading 16 goals - a career best.
Some transfer news on the domestic (well, North American) front. Toronto get a bit pacier with Cunningham. They had two of a kind with both Alecko and Edson Buddle on the squad, and though they would probably have liked to have moved Buddle, Alecko has the greater trade value. That despite his injury history, though possibly upgraded because of his history with Freddy Adu, his former DCUnited teamate.
Could also be two players who were unhappy with their current situations looking for (another) fresh start.
I'm curious to know where you two currently sit in the standings for the MLS fantasy league
ReplyDeleteask Neal. He's the MLStud this year.
ReplyDeleteLet's see... I'm 533 overall and Neal is 149th on 1721pts.
And remember, this is our off-season regimen. Like lacrosse for a football player. And the game is pretty lame. Goals, assists, wins, and clean sheets are about the only things for which you can get points.
Eskandarian apparently was very upset about the trade. Cunningham is pretty much happy any place that can handle his ego.
ReplyDeleteThe MLS fantasy game is pretty lame. I don't like the scoring. I'm sitting at #138 right now.
