I guess he has come to a contract agreement with the Forge. Krutzen Returning To Canada Following Swedish Trials - Northern Tribune My nephew is named after Helsingborgs legend Henrik Larson, so it would’ve been bittersweet to see Krutzen end up there.

Welshman is already on the third club of his Israeli adventure, I somewhat expect it to come full circle with him returning to Forge in the near future. Nonetheless, one more striker a la Jordan Hamilton mould would be nice. gator 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SadOnMondays 49 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 ^ I'll be interested to see how he does in a more normal season (touch wood) I felt he showed flashes at the island games and the CL run but not much more. Link to post Share on other sites
gator 2,902 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 These signings are all really good, I am not disappointed with any of them returning, it should provide a good nucleus to defend the title, Edgar still needs to be replaced and another striker needs to be brought in, the roster needs a bit of new quality IMHO!

Shway 3,730 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Apparently there’s another big signing on the way waiting to be announced. Link to post Share on other sites

Telfer, Manella, Jackson-Hamel and probably Borges are still available, possibly a TFC loanee or an International signing, they still have 3 spots open.

I wouldn't be shocked to see the return of Borges, that would help with the goal scoring, I'm not sure how the draft picks @mtlsab mentions are going to work out, Edgar's retirement leave large boots to fill, not only was he a very good CB at this level but he was a real leader!

People in Quebec say Garven Metusala can be a starter in CanPL. I've never watched him play so I dont know. so in CB, you can have Krutzen, Samuel+2 draftees for the depth chart Link to post Share on other sites
toontownman 3,361 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Back in Canada training already, so he is going somewhere. Was hoping for a shock switch to Ottawa with fisk going to forge. Maybe they will get both. longlugan and Dominic94 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It looks very much like the Forge and possibly the Cavalry are the only ones actually spending up to the cap. A 500k floor and a 750k cap in salary terms was maybe the way to keep two schools of thought amongst the owners happy at the outset? If the Forge and Bob Young land both it will provide more evidence for that scenario and give the league even more of an NSL with Rocco LoFranco (passionate about his soccer but up there with Harold Ballard in other ways) as league head honcho and Toronto Italia owner (but you better not suggest that's a conflict of interest) feel to it with the Cavalry playing the role of Toronto Croatia.

toontownman 3,361 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Would still prefer him to go to Ottawa. However. If Forge can grab him, maybe fisk too but a quality striker and CB. I will be excited for the V cup final. Link to post Share on other sites
