One half of Monday's TFC spit-take has been confirmed. Jermain Defoe is coming to Hogtown.
It's news that has been rumoured for so long that it will hardly register to the tuned in TFC fan. For many, today's announcement is a formality. The less informed fan will be stunned, however. TFC doesn't get players they've heard of, after all. It might be enough to get them to renew those season tickets...

The only piece of totally new information is that the deal includes an ill-advised friendly. Apparently Tim Lieweke doesn't listen to all of the supporter's concerns. Useless friendlies in blistering summer heat will remain. Great.
But, we will have plenty of time to focus on the negative. Today, we celebrate the unprecedented follow through of TFC management. They said they'd get their man and they did. That is a bloody big deal.
Now, about those Michael Bradley rumours....
