Philippe Davies will be reunited with former Whitecaps’ teammate Long Tan — in Division 3, with the Richmond Kickers of the USL.

Tyson Wahl began the season as a starter on the Montreal Impact’s backline. But, with the Impact continuing to shore up its league-worst defence, Wahl was deemed expendable.

De Guzman was always in a no-win situation in Toronto; it’s a sports city that eats its own like no other, a city where star athletes always have targets on their backs and journeymen become folk heroes. Add to that the fact the JDG plays the most misunderstood, most underrated position in the game — holding midfielder.

Team general manager Tom Leip confirmed that the team has placed a liquor-licence application to the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, but have yet to get it back with a stamp of approval.

“No, we aren’t comfortable with financing a Division-1 league,” said Leip. “Our owners are not interested in moving up a league. We have a lot of respect for the the kind of financial commitment MLS owners have made to create Division 1, and we certainly don’t want to tread on their territory. And, certainly the Cosmos only came to us after every road to MLS had been exhausted.”

After bringing in American midfielder Bryan Arguez on loan from the Montreal Impact earlier this week, FC Edmonton began auditioning a new import trialist Thursday.

Yet just when it seemed as TFC had once again fallen apart late, Dunfield saved the day for the home side.

But, now, after playing in just four reserve matches with the Impact this season, Arguez is looking forward to getting back into the rhythm of playing again.

“We create some technical blueprints in each game,” Herdman said during a conference call with media on Wednesday.

Toronto FC announced that it has parted ways with Dutch forward Nick Soolsma “by mutual consent.”
