Unless we are going to try to payback Colorado for last week's 'last minute' roster change, looks like De Guzman won't make his home debut today. But that is fine. Could it be possible that TFC aren't in it for the short term solution and are going to build a team? Or maybe Mo has waved his hand ala Obi-Wan Kanobi and in a month will say "We've done good this season. Look who we've signed. Success." Well there's not too many ways to take that as De Guzman doesn't remedy any of the team's most glaring issues (goals in and goals out) - but here's to the benefit of the doubt and the off-season!
Bottom line, of course, I am so stoked to see this guy play here week in and out. The last time he played at BMO was a dominating performance that put him undoubtedly in the class of best midfielder in CONCACAF and we could see with our own eyes why 07/08 was a year of accolades for him in La Liga. There has been chatter here an there about how he should have tried to stay there, MLS step down etc ... and as I've mentioned possibly here but definitely in conversations - this is the best move for everyone. TFC wins, Team Canada wins (yes they do) and fans win. I'll leave it at that because a colleague will elaborate on it in a few days.
Today is one thing - a tough game that will probably result in a draw and put one more nail in our chances of the post-season. But the class of the squad has just increased big time and the end of this season and the next three will be exciting to watch!
