"Stop loafing Frings, that windmill ain't gonna build itself!"The biggest investment in
Toronto FC this year will not come in the way of a Designated Player but in a group of buildings
and pitches in the city's north end. The new TFC training facility, due to open this May in
Downsview Park, will arguably be the finest club training facility in North American professional
football.
Patrick van Aanholt is off once again. Vitesse announced today that the 21-year-old fullback
will be joining the Dutch club on loan for the remainder of the season.
In need of games
This is pretty good news. While the Eredivisie is a clear step down in competition from the
Premier League, van Aanholt should have a chance to receive significant minutes after an egregious
loan spell during the first half of the season.

An amazing look at the set up at Dutch club Ajax, which includes former Arsenal star Dennis
Bergkamp. They have an amazing coaching staff.

my favorites
Arsenal centre forward Robin Van Persie has produced a string of consistent and
impressive goal scoring displays this season, something which have been previously been missing
from his game.
When the Dutchman arrived from Feyenoord in a £2.75 million move he was originally a left sided
midfielder.

Because PSV Torontohoven just wasn't funny
Winter is upon us! So are years of "winter" puns! Yes, the news travelled quickly across the
Atlantic yesterday that Dutch legend Aron Winter was on the verge of joining Toronto FC. In what
capacity we are yet to know for certain - at the time of writing it could be Technical Director,
Head Coach, GM, starting midfielder or head groundskeeper.
