Ali Gerba and Toronto FC part ways

The Toronto FC and striker Ali Gerba have come to an agreement to terminate the Canadians contract and official end his spell with the club in less then a year. Gerba signed with the TFC in June of last season and scored one goal for the club in eleven regular season games. Preki had sent Gerba home last month as the team competed in a preseason tournament and you knew something was up as the coach did not want Gerba around the team and did not seem to have any use for the striker going forward. The rumours out there state that Gerba was out of shape and overweight, something the coach just could not work with, the move should open some much needed cap space for Toronto GM Mo Johnson to make a move as the team prepares for its next game Saturday against the New England Revolution.
