…but did we really want to know ye?

Is it me, or is Ali Curtis a Chelsea fan?

Not quite three months in the job, and that’s now seven players he’s packed off on loan for the year. Safe to assume we won’t be seeing Bakero back from Phoenix in a hurry.

Can’t say I’m complaining. The trade for him was second on my list of Toronto FC’s Most Inexplicable Transactions of 2018 behind the Ager Aketxe contract. That said, he did briefly make Nico Hasler the most talked-about Lichtensteiner in North America.

He may’ve turned out for TFC II’s Pittsburgh friendly, but any wider role Rabasca might’ve been lining him up to play with the kids this year was cast-iron speculation.

With Jordan Perruzza signed, and Jozy’s comeback putting Akinola or Boyd’s place in the first team at risk, Bakero was probably way down the pecking order in both teams.

We’re playing a pre-season game vs. @RiverhoundsSC today in Pittsburgh.



Here’s our XI:



Eric Klenofsky

Jaytin Pabla

Patrick Bunk-Andersen

Julian Dunn

Trevor Swartz

Fito Ovalle

Griffin Dorsey

Noble Okello

Jon Bakero

Jacob Shaffelburg

Jordan Perruzza #TFCLive — Toronto FC II (@TorontoFCII) March 9, 2019

The question now is whether FC Drogba plan to place him with FC Tucson, in hopes he rediscovers some of his old NCAA form. You can bet the mortgage we’ll be hearing plenty about revenge and grudge matches if TFC II come up against him on April 13th.
