Interesting story here about Le Toux's trial with Bolton and subsequent move to Vancouver.

Quote
Le Toux said he was “honored” for the Bolton trial, but his heart was with the Union. He had made a home in West Chester, where he and his longtime girlfriend Kendall lived. He adored the fan base and his teammates.

 “I told them I would consider (Bolton), but I knew it wasn’t good for me,” Le Toux said. “I was out of shape. I hadn’t kicked a ball in five weeks. I didn’t want to go over there and injure myself in cold weather. What good is that for me or (the Union)?”

 Le Toux said he suffered a right-foot toe injury his first practice with Bolton, but played through the pain in two further training sessions. Then, he came home … three weeks early. Staying even one more week, Le Toux said, would have afforded him only two additional practices, so he saw no merit in it.

Oh well. We got a younger and more promising striker instead of him.

That strikes me as a rejected player putting his spin on things.  You weren't good enough lad, get over it.

And now he's left/leaving Philly and the east coast for Vancouver (western Canada)!

I was very sceptical about just how good Le Toux is anyway.

He's 28 and French yet playing in the US.  How many quality players play in their prime in the US ... especially if they're not American ... unless they're on mega-bucks.  I think it's safe to say Le Toux wasn't on mega-bucks either.

Whether we passed on Le Toux or he passed on Bolton, the right outcome has happend. Le Toux remaining in a mickey mouse league and Bolton signing a young up and coming English striker instead.

It looks like we dodged a bullet with this one, all the big talk about him being a Union legend and MVP, looks like they couldn't get rid fast enough. It was cold and I hurt my toe - tosser
