That interview was excellent. The guy was very upfront and had a 'lets change things now' attitude. No excuses. He could of been talking about the Nix last season tbh.
I've lived the for while in Toronto, it is really, really nice. Canadians have a good 'Can do!' mentality. If Brockie scores, he's not coming back.
Welnix would probably want a significant transfer fee, especially given the late notice and length of contract remaining. I understood transfer fees are rarely very significant in the mls and can't see Toronto targetting him. I can't see Brockie not coming back unless the new coach/manager doesn't really want him.
He sounds pretty ambitious to get to Europe, and thinks MLS is a good way to showcase what he's got. Can't blame him. He's at prime age and needs to make the jump before too late and European teams won't look at him due to age.
It is true that MLS teams rarely pay transfer fees, but it's not unheard of, esp in recent years. If a player is really good, teams will use one of 3 designated player spots to pay a transfer fee and salary.
I also think Brockie is hoping to catch the eye of any European scouts that will be around summer months here, esp with European teams holding friendlies in North America.
