The revolving door of players at Toronto FC can leave the most level head spinning.
And given the sheer volume of emails, tweets and texts Canadian Soccer News receives that read: 'Whatever happened to..?' I figure there is a need for an update post, from time to time, on what ever happened to that trialist.
Here's a brief update on the three most asked about Toronto FC trialists:
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Andrew Ornoch: No longer with Toronto. He had been trialing with San Jose after he was passed over the first time by Toronto FC but what he's going to do now is anyone's guess. I've reached out to him individually for an update.
Eddy Sidra: No longer with Toronto. He never really did enough to impress while with the club but given his ability to get forward from the back line, something they're sorely lacking at the moment, it's a little strange they couldn't find a place on the reserves for this Canadian national team player.
Joao Plata: Signed. Everyone's favourite little man has signed his services to Toronto. For now, expect him to only find time in the reserve league but if the club finds its way into the Champions League once again (admittedly a big IF) a player of his ability would match up well against the Central American teams. Whether he'll ever have a future with the first team, will depend on him overcoming his size. I'm willing to believe that a Latin American player - traditionally the type willing to do anything to win - would find a way to carve out a space for himself.
So, who else do you want to know about?
