  • Andy Iro (and Leandre Griffit) to TFC for Tony Tchani


    Guest

    It seems that Aron Winter and Paul Mariner weren't done re-shaping Toronto FC's roster.

    Less than a day after acquiring Terry Dunfield and Ryan Johnson, TFC announced a few moments ago that they have traded for hulking Columbus centre back Andy Iro and little-used winger Leandre Griffit. Going to Columbus is Tony Tchani, who only arrived in Toronto a few months ago as part of the Dwayne De Rosario trade.

    For those keeping score at home, over the past 24 hours TFC have gained Dunfield, Johnson, Iro and Griffit, and they've parted with Nana Attakora, Alan Gordon, Jacob Peterson and Tchani.

    Iro is obviously the key to today's deal, with the 6'5" defender filling a huge need in TFC's woefully depleted backline. Griffit seems a thrown in spare part needed to make the deal work, but he'll have every chance to impress Winter and co. alongside a slew of incoming reinforcements.
