TORONTO - A logjam in midfield and the need for some payroll flexibility prompted Toronto FC to ship Ghana winger/forward Dominic Oduro to the Montreal Impact on Tuesday.
In return, Toronto got allocation money to help pay down some wages inside its salary cap.
On Monday, Toronto general manager Tim Bezbatchenko hinted at some future transactions by saying teams can always make moves if they're willing to make tough choices.
"And this is a tough choice for us," Bezbatchenko said Tuesday.
"We needed to make space and we thought this would strengthen our club," he added.
With a listed salary of US$251,666 last season, the speedy Oduro was a big-ticket item.
