Toronto lost out on Perlaza, I wish Miami FC could pick up Kaviedes and more

Toronto FC took too long making up their mind about Ecuador defender Jose Luis Perlaza as reported by Ecuadorean site CRE Satelital
Rumours on many sites indicated Perlaza was on Trial with Toronto but it seems they will miss out on this player. CRE continues that Perlaza, who used to play for Olmedo of Riobamba, is out of the country but will return in the next few days to be part of Barcelona SC of Guayaquil who have signed him for the remainder of the year.

On other news another Ecuador player and World Cup Veteran; Ivan Kaviedes was not able to sign with Liga of Portoviejo also of Ecuador. It seems today was the last day to signs players in that league and he remains free.
This striker/midfielder is one of the most experienced players in Ecuador having played in Spain, Italy, England, Mexico among other countries. This is a player I wish Miami FC could sign. Seems like Kaviedes is desperate to get playing minutes and at 31 he doesn't have much time to waste. MLS and USL teams need to hurry before some Middle East league with big bucks lure him!

"Jackie Chan" Richardson to Toronto FC


So what is up with all the celebrity names going to MLS as of late? First "John Kennedy" to Seattle now it's "Jackie Chan"!

Guyanese international striker Gregory "Jackie Chan" Richardson is set to sign for Toronto FC and become the first Guyanese to play in Major League Soccer (MLS) as he wrapped up his one week training session with the team in Miami, Florida.
Twenty-six-year-old Richardson came to prominence last year during the CONCACAF club Championship with his Trinidad and Tobago Pro-League club Joe Public when he devastated MLS top club New England Revolution scoring four goals in his club win. He also single-handedly ripped apart several other top clubs in the tournament. Several international news agencies linked the striker with moves to New England Revolution and other top MLS clubs including Columbus Crew and San Jose Earthquakes.
