Au revoir, Clichy. Fare thee well (except when City plays Arsenal, of course).
Wow, TFC gets Torsten Frings?! I always thought he was an undervalued player. Either that or he only did well in the WC. (ok, read the article and apparently Bremen just locked him down for most of his career).
I’ve gone from “Meh” to “New Least Favorite Team” on Toronto now that they’ve got Frings.
