    Really looking forward to seeing Yun backing in action again.

    Cesar - has been on permanent holiday for the past year collecting a fat pay-cheque from us, that really irks me!

    Yet Michael Bradley is back playing for Toronto FC later today against Houston Dynamo.

    Two games ago, also against Houston, Jermaine Defoe made the difference.

    Defoe leads Toronto FC past Houston 4-2

    ORONTO (AP) Jermain Defoe set up two goals and then scored two of his own, leading Toronto FC to a 4-2 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night.

    Toronto trailed 2-0 before Jonathan Osorio and Dominic Oduro scored in the first half. Defoe then had his goals in the 63rd and 89th minutes, helping his team stop a three-game winless streak.
    Brad Davis scored twice for Houston, which has allowed a league-worst 38 goals this season. The Dynamo have not won an MLS game since a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on May 17.
    The teams play again next Saturday in Houston, after Toronto hosts the Vancouver Whitecaps in a midweek game.
    Houston (5-11-3) went ahead in the 13th minute when Giles Barnes fed an open Davis, whose hard left-footed shot from inside the penalty box beat Joe Bendik. Barnes got another assist on Davis' second goal in the 30th minute.
    Toronto (7-5-3) pulled one back in the 39th minute when goaltender Tally Hall fumbled a Defoe cross and Osorio was there to head it in. It scored again during first-half stoppage time, with Defoe finding an open Oduro on a counter-attack.
    Oduro's first shot was blocked by Hall, but he converted the rebound for his first goal with Toronto and No. 47 for his MLS career.

    Defoe then added two goals in the second half, sliding one shot through Hall's legs and making the most of errant back pass for his second of the game. He has 10 goals in 12 league games.
    The Dynamo are 1-8-1 on the road this season.

    For the nth ****ing time, the club decided not to play Cesar due to his ludicrous contract. Blame the club not him.

    I do realize that, but still feel he could have been more accommodating in assisting the club to find alternative employment, plus I don't like his "poor little rich boy" tone, having to buy his own gk gloves, training alone in the park etc.

    Not sure in the terms of his contract if his weekly salary was supplemented by appearance based amounts and that's why we didn't play him.

    About an extra £8000 a week if even placed on the bench I believe. He wanted to play but the club stopped it as above. I don't blame him at all.
