I’m here to persuade you that Toronto FC do not need a new centre-back.
Well, kind of. Truthfully, no reasonable person could have a problem with Ali Curtis making an addition to the defensive group if the right player was available.
But there are two issues worth exploring in more depth that, in my view, explain why the club may go against the consensus and prioritize the signing of a winger instead. Firstly, there are the sources of TFC’s recent problems keeping the ball out of their net. Secondly, there is the reality of actually finding a central defender who could help.
