So how is our old mate doing in Toronto

[AyrshireBob]

I mean the guy who throw his dummy out of his pram, remember him ?
Season so far, Toronto are 12th in league of 15, just sacked their manager / head coach Robin Fraser.
The Ex Norwich guy has played 27 games and scored 10 goals with 4 assists so far this season, not that bad when playing in one of the best leagues in North America
Remember his team mates included players like :

Djordje Mihailovic : American & played 10 times for USA
Benjamín Kuscevic : Chilean / Croatian played 16 times for Chile
Richie Laryea : Canadian played 83 times for Canada & 5 times for Notts Forest
Jonathan Osorio : Canadian played 92 times for Canada & 351 for Toronto FC
Raheem Edwards : Canadian played 5 times for Canada
Markus Cimermancic : Canadian / Slovenian played 20 times for Toronto

I'm guessing his move was more about relocating than actually progressing his career...

Yes, that's how it seemed to me. He is a decent striker and I am glad to see him amongst the goals again. However life goes on and we now have a new set of striking heroes.

I watched a Toronto game and tbh felt a bit sorry for them, they are a very poor team with a complete absence of creativity (even by MLS standards) and he's pretty isolated up there.

Don't know if they thought they were getting a Messi who could take on 6 players and chip the keeper, but if spending that amount of money they really ought to have bought somebody to feed him the odd chance. Reminded me of the impossible jobs our strikers had in a Chris Hughton team.

I doubt he's regressed as a player, just chose a poor team if he wanted an impressive goals column on his CV.

He surely could have got into a lower level Premier league team though?
