Reader mailbag: Have outgoing loan deals worked out for TFC?
Toronto FC has a very poor track record in recent years with young players it has loaned out, but it's trying to change that.

Now that the central attacking midfielder spot for the foreseeable is filled, what do you feel is the next most pressing position for TFC to address?
In case you missed it, Toronto FC pulled off a major coup this week when it acquired midfielder Djordje Mihailovic via transfer from the Colorado Rapids for $8 million US and up to $1 million in conditional cash if certain performance-based metrics are met. Colorado also retains a sell-on percentage if the player is traded or transferred.
Mihailovic joins TFC as a designated player and has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract through the end of 2028 with a club option for 2029. And from the sounds of it, he’s quite eager to get his hands dirty with his new outfit.
