Laurent Robert's brief stint at Derby has been brought to a close with the winger moving to Toronto FC.
The former Newcastle and Portsmouth player's Pride Park contract was cancelled by mutual consent, allowing him to join the MLS side as a free agent.
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.
