It was announced "in principle" that our main man, Danny Dichio will be back for one more season. This goes beyond the pitch, as there are already talks that once his playing days are over, he will be the man leading the academy. He's stated before that coaching will be one of his next moves in life after football and we weren't sure if that would be this year or next. Signing him on is a great move because this is the kind of guy we should want to keep in our organization - someone who came here without a chip on their shoulder, but an open mind and was looking to contribute to TFC. He might not be the most lethal striker, or gifted athlete but for us, but he's done great with what he's had when we've had him 100% healthy. Probably his two most famous goals are the first and last of 2007, however, another one I remember is the first one against Colorado this season off the volley as pure class. Grabbing a beer at half-time we overheard some Brits (So you KNOW they know what's what) discussing how that goal was a strikers goal, and one thing you can say about Dichio is the guy goes into the box hard and has the instinct to put the ball on the net. If some of the other forwards we've had, and have now, used their athleticism and played with his guts and instincts we probably wouldn't be freaking out about our horrible offense.
So now we continue to speculate on who is our DP, when De Rosario is coming, where Wynne is going and if we can get Ricketts back here for another year.
