Mo Johnston has pulled the trigger on yet another trade, bringing defender Tyrone Marshall to Toronto FC in exchange for striker Edson Buddle who joins the LA Galaxy.
In Marshall, TFC are getting an experienced defender, twice named MLS defender of the year (2004,2005) and a stalwart member of the Jamaican national squad.
Buddle was the odd man out in Toronto, already behind the likes of Cunningham and Dichio, and with Andrea Lombardo nipping at his heals for playing time, Mo Johnston is also looking at bringing Dundee striker Colin Samuel in for at least a look on trial. In light of this trade, Samuel may soon be finding a home in the red and grey of TFC.
Marshall is suspended for 3 games after a hard, injury-causing foul that left FC Dallas' Kenny Cooper with a broken tibia. Once he makes his debut for TFC, it will allow TFC Captain Jim Brennan the opportunity to move to his natural position at Left Mid, a move that will see the fans whipping boy, Andy Welsh, to the sidelines.
