"Behind you Andy! Oh... never mind."A little bit of a shocker out of TFC's
pre-pre-season today as the club confirmed that both Andy Iro and Peri Marosevic will not return to
The Reds in 2012. "Both Andy and Peri declined our contract extension offers and now the club is
ready to move on," were the words from the Dutch Master Aron Winter who is no doubt ready to
welcome new recruits to fill their roles.

Kerith Gabriel reports in the Daily News that Faryd Mondragon, who is a finalist for Soccer
America's Goalkeeper of the Year, will start against Toronto. "I am not used to being out, so it
felt like forever," Mondragon said.
"Mr. Bojangles can partner me at CB boss"To say the last few days have been a time
of great change at BMO Field would be a major understatement. While most people familiar with The
Reds are used to the revolving door with playing staff, the sheer amount of new faces in such a
short period is still quite monumental.
Must have seen the weather forecastWell, at least Tony Tchani won't have to Tweet about the strange Toronto weather patterns anymore.
The young defensive midfielder, who was the main prize in the Dwayne De Rosario trade, was shipped
to Trillium Cup rival Columbus Crew today in a multi-player deal as TFC's transfer window shuffle
continues.
Toronto isn't done dealing yet. Today the club made yet another deal, this time with Trillium
Cup rival Columbus Crew. The two sides played the trade game today as Columbus sent central
defender Andy Iro and midfielder Leandre Griffit to Toronto for midfielder Tony Tchani.
Very, very interesting move for the two sides.
