Once you knew how to pronounce those names, you were officially credible in a soccer conversation 🙂 PS.: i once messed up "Reading" (i am referring to the club here) in soccer conversation. I felt pretty stupid 😀 Edited September 13, 2022 by Free kick Strait Red, Treppy2 and The Real Marc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned from him how to very audibly suck in then hold a big gulp of air any time a scoring chance was around the Canadian goal. Against our really strong opponents, I am surprised that he didn't hyperventilate 😉 Edited September 13, 2022 by BearcatSA Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true, it tells me one of two possibilities has happened. Oso wants out of T.O.for whatever reason or he is deadly serious about playing in Qatar in top form and doesn't want a 6 week layoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this goes through one fun thing is he could bring along Illiadis and get him to commit to Canada. Granted he's a long way off being a B teamer at the moment.

Obinna Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Seems like this is happening. Of course, I said that twice in the Kone thread, first about Norwich, then Sheffield United. Hopefully I haven't given this the kiss of death as well. In all seriousness though, something to get excited about. I really like Osorio and like many of you, have always wanted to see him go to Europe. I thought it had slipped away, and I would have never guessed Greece and Panathinaikos would have been the landing spot, but that's what kind of makes it intriguing. Again, early days, but they are first at the moment. Adding a proven winner like Osorio should be a boost. They have no European distractions, so maybe they can break the decade plus long drought with Oso leading the way!

jonovision Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Kind of crazy that TFC's inability to win without Osorio carried over into the Italian era. If I was a TFC fan I'd be angry about the team letting him go. But I'm not.

If I was a TFC fan I'd be angry about the team letting him go. But I'm not. I feel somewhat mixed about it. Osorio could thrive with a full season alongside Crisito, Bernadeschi, and Insigne. He can't be two places at once though, and I really want to see him in Europe, so this TFC fan is not angry. He's served the club for nearly a decade. All good things come to an end. I just hope that Bradley doesn't become the all time appearance leader next season. I want that record in Canadian hands. Oso is on 318 appearances right now, while Bradley is on 288.

He seems to be this only central midfielder they have in their cross hairs which is good. Edit: Also they hope to complete at least one transfer by Thursday. Another article I read is that the club is putting “the pedal to the metal” in grabbing him.

RS Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 If Osorio really is feeling the after-effects of that head injury (and there's no reason to believe otherwise), then could he even pass a medical right now?

Gian-Luca Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 My guess is that if he is signed now, he wouldn’t start for his new club until the TFC season is over in early Oct as that is when he officially would be a free agent. Or maybe he is feeling better this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS contracts generally end on Dec. 31. Or June 30, if they're the odd ones like Carlos Vela and Gareth Bale. TFC could release him after Oct. 9, but by then the Greek transfer window would be closed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is still under contract elsewhere when the Greek window closes (tomorrow) then he has to wait for the next window to open before signing there. That’s my rough understanding of how it works.
