Toronto FC announced this morning that it had acquired Queen's Park Rangers defender Tal Ben Haim on loan.
The 31-year-old fullback has bounced all over England, playing for Bolton, Chelsea, Manchester City, Sunderland, West Ham and Portsmouth.
Despite that Toronto FC president Kevin Payne had high praise for the well travelled veteran.
"Tal Ben Haim has been one of the top defenders in the EPL for nearly a decade. He captains his national team and Ryan thinks the world of him,” said Payne. “He’s exactly the sort of veteran defender we need.”
Is this the sound of panic, on the part of Toronto? Or does this signing actually make sense for the club's needs?
