Why...........its the kind of thing that needs attempted at least and I really couldnt give a fuck if it goes down hill fast...its the internet so who gives a fuck. The guy is Newcastle Reserve team captain, hes Canadian, he is probabley fed up and would love to come home...hes a CB and a team leader......DP written all over him and just what this team needs. Now if someone at MLSE had big balls they would at least make a pitch for him even if it was a loan deal......

You're missing one crucial fact here. The people who sign DP's do not search internet boards for ideas. And if they did, it wouldn't really be a good thing.

Of course they dont mate cant imagine why you thought that........sure they have much better things to do with their time......but can you think of a better potentially available Canadian CB who is DP material who for the right kind of cash would come to TFC, cause I cant and if I was MOMO Id be making a phonecall on Monday morning.....pretty sure you would be also....OOOOpppsssss maybe you didnt understand my first post from lack of full stops etc.........TFC NEED to attempt such a thing.......Ontario Arab Couldnt give a fuck if its the internet....hope that clears it up. DAVID EDGAR should be TFC Captain for the next 5 years.

Hey, I'd like to see the kid play here but it's not happening any time soon.

It's very unlikely Newcastle is shopping the kid. If the do get relegated they will look to trim cost from the roster. This would actually be ideal for Edgar and may give him a shot at playing for Newcastle's first team.

Edgar is not interested in playing here at this stage of his career. He will look to other options in Europe before playing in the MLS.

He is not worth DP money ... or at least not proven he is yet.

Mo is not going to spend time chasing a player he has very little chance of signing.

So, yeah .. it would be great to have him but it just ain't happening.

Totally Disagree. We have lots of goal scorers they just spend too much time on the back peddle due to a poor defence....Serioux is a start but he needs a partner.

If newcastle goes down i dont really see this as being super far fetched of an idea, unlikely sure, and i wouldnt spend DP money on him either, but i wouldnt think it would a bad idea at all. I remember in season 1 seeing him drinking a beer in the carlsberg section at a game, maybe the though of him being a big star here and in this league right now while hes still really young could boost his status. If i were him i probably would sorta be entertaining the idea in my brain as an option

I bow down to your way of thinking mate.........:scarf:.

Was he even legal at the time?:D
kidding I believe he was born in 87 so he def was.
And for the sake of this "discussion" it probably won't happen because Edgar is too good for MLS at this point in his career, although he seems to not be quite good enough for the EPL. I prefer to think of the glass being half full and I will say that if the MLS continues to grow in leaps and bounds we could possibly eventually see Edgar as the TFC skipper which would make my day everyday for at least a year.:canada:

InTheCrowd
05-22-2009, 10:47 PM
First of all he'd never come. He's young and is at a top club in Europe. Why would he want to ruin his career by coming to Canada and taking a HUGE step back? Second of all, I wouldn't waste DP money on him. We could get a defender of equal or better quality for cheaper, he just wouldn't take up a domestic roster spot.

This is insane. If he wasn't Canadian we wouldn't be talking about this right now.

agreed, we are on the same page, it would be a good option, play here for a few years, do well become a big name player in the league, then it would open doors for him while hes still young, he could go back to england make more money or it things were really good here and he was content stay. I would be entertaining the idea in my brain if i were him and hopefully mo would be thinking this and pitch it too him and newcastle, maybe even get him out on loan.

Agreed, hopefully they can pull off the insanely improbable upset but I still haven't given up hope. I think with the playing time he's seen this year and a drop into the championship he'll see all the time he can handle although that is speculation until it actually happens.

Hey Miss Mizz....how many years does he need to develop?????The guy hasnt shown anything for Newcastle, who are a poor epl team and the excuse of his youth is running out. Maybe he just doesnt want to be abroad anymore in the situation he is in.....He could make an obscene ammount of money in MLS too as TFC captain....his game doesnt seem to have helped Newcastle develop over the last few years and probabley wont help an inferior European team either but if he comes home it may just help a team like TFC in MLS.....as a human being Id be asking myself these questions around now...who knows...I just think he is the missing link with Serioux as far as our Defence goes......I think also given NFC,s present troubles it would be easy to do........More Beers please LOL.

First off the kid is 4 days removed from his 22nd birthday so I believe he still gets a pass as young.
Second he has shown enough to get himself 12 apps (7 starts) for Newcastle
Third, TFC Captain???? Really???
Fourth I said he needs to develop his game not use his game to develop a club (whatever that even means)
Fifth the money is not very obscene in the MLS, unless you're THE guy on your team which at this point in his career he would not be

IF i was in his position i'd much rather play on a Newcastle team who gets relegated so you can in turn play for promotion...which dare i say it..still seems more prestigious than most awards in mls.
however i can see why i should at least entertain the idea of returning..but not as a DP and maybe not even to toronto.

Look the kid is ok, but just watching him live with the u20's was dissapointing, but maybe he did not have a good supporting cast with him. I just think the talk of Dp is way off, but maybe he could help us. And yes he is very young and might develop into a great player one day.

Precisely. This is the middle ground that should be reached, he's a good young player that could develop into a great one but at this time he's not right for our DP slot.

So 22 year olds, and there are lots, are still kids on the football pitch....some of them win golden boots.......didnt say he wasnt young, or in the golden boot winning calibre..... just that given his time at a senior club like NFC Im pretty sure he wouldnt regard himself as a "kid" anymore......12 caps for Newcastle is nothing to write home and tell your Nana about but its also nothing to be ashamed off either. What are his options.....play for NFC in the Championship for the next 5 yrs(if NFC go down they could be totally fecked like Leeds) and maybe do enough to get a Utility player position at a low end EPL team one season ........Or maybe they dont go down on Sunday.....play as a Utility player for Newcastle for the next 2 seasons then maybe sign for someone else..........and then come back to NA to retire or pasture as they say for money........At his pinnacle age he should be signing for a team like TFC who will grow with him and who he can become a leader with....Potentially a Captain for TFC........the guy is a born leader, thats why he is NFC reserve team captain, they dont give that to "kids"......Good teams are built around a good core of young players, the type of players you can afford, as a club, to keep together for a few years who become friends. I cannot think of a better guy for TFC to sign at the moment. He is Young. He has Experience.He is still ambitious and when 25 maybe he could go back to the EPL having captained TFC to back to back MLS titles and command himself some serious coin.....if he stays where he is you will not hear his name again in 2 years.......OK thats way too serious but honestley TFC would be nuts not to ask NFC for him in some capacity.....:drum:

Assumptions made by the OP:

"probabley fed up and would love to come home"
"who for the right kind of cash would come to TFC"
"guy knows he is going NOWHERE at present."
"DeRo is a HUGE Star in MLS"
"At his age becoming a major star in MLS surely isnt going to damage his chances of securing a major deal in the future...its called showcasing"
"He could make an obscene ammount of money in MLS too as TFC captain."

Facts that fly into the face of the argument

CASH: TFC have an operating income of $2.1M. The average EPL player makes $1.5M CDN. Edgar (at 20) is surely calculating that he will be making the average in the near future.

"Going Nowhere": A young Canadian playing in the EPL. If that isn't enough to suggest that he is going somewhere, I'm not sure I can help

"DeRo is a HUGE star": He's not even a HUGE star in Toronto. He's a hit with fans but on the North American sports landscape he's insignificant. Endorsement deals are not rolling in. My assumption is that De Rossario would trade places with Edgar in a second (or Hargreaves, or De Guzman or Stalteri, etc).

It's not realistic my friend. Great pipe dream.

I'm sure I'm about to get bashed, but David Edgar will forever be overrated to me until I see him play a decent game for Canada. Or even Newcastle if he ever gets into a game. All I can say is this kid looked absolutely horrendous in the U-20. For someone who was playing (well riding the pines) at the top level in Europe he sure did get outplayed by most other kids his age. For those that are going to say that the entire team looked bad, well not so much. Begovic looked incredible to me and right away I knew this could is going to have a bright future. Your team can be shit, doesn't mean you can't make an impression.

Maybe he's good enough for TFC, but he's still overrated. I think we'll find Newcastle giving up on him soon.

If David Edgar was tired of Newcastle or looking for guaranteed playing time there are lots of english options for him that would be tons better than TFC. Any top team in the Championship would provide him with more money, a better level of competition and more opportunity for career advancement than any MLS team ever could at this time in his career.

Jonathan DeGuzman is one player worth DPing, however we all know he is not coming back to Canada just yet. And from what I know he also does not like artificial turf.
Jonathan who? I'm sorry that name has been stricken from my memory:D

^It's certainly true that the number of people on these boards that have seen Edgar play much (ie for the Newcastle reserves) has to be zero.
I'd check with anyone who's name includes the word Toon, Geordie or Kingpin before you make claims like that:D

Edgar is not looking awesome today...and Newcastle are looking like they will not be able to escape (save an Owens wonderstrike in the 90')..Either way... TFC/MLS would not be a good development ground for David Edgar. He needs to be in the top flights if we want him to reach his potential.

Pretty shitty game for Edgar, unlucky on the second yellow though

A year or two in the Championship playing every game will do him good unless he gets sold off because of Newcastle's debt load.

The flip side is he may get more time in the Championship. I'd rather see him succeed in tier two there than here. He can always come home later. Let him reach that potential there.

I don't think Newcastle will get rid of him. He's on the cheaper end as far as player salary, which is what they need. He is still young, so they still have a chance to mold him into the player they want.

The only way he would come here is if he completly falters and is no longer wanted by any team in first division. Remember people, MLS is a last resort, not a first choice.

He wont be making millions in the Championship, unless they are taking a gamble in bouncing back straight away. Very dangerous position to take - ask Leeds !
