If the season ended today would DeRo be the MLS MVP?

[SweetOwnGoal]

Understanding that there is still a lot of season left -- and the most important part of the season -- do you think that DeRo is in the running to win his first regular season MVP?

I do (http://www.24thminute.com/2009/08/mvp-ro.html)

No one, at least no one that paid close attention to the rest of MLS, really thought that he'd be in the conversation for this. Maybe he still isn't, but...

Thoughts?


(I'm running a poll over at U-Sector for those with accounts there) (http://z15.invisionfree.com/U_Sector/index.php?showtopic=11541)

He should definitely be in the running. I don't really watch the other teams games, so can't really compare him to anyone else, but he's done better than I thought he would so far and I'd say he's definitely our mvp so far.

but forget about what i think, what does Mighty have to say?

[London]

if conner casey can gain his goal scoring rate back , he will be hard to beat.

[ArmenJBX]

Plus Landycakes is doing well

[Shakes McQueen]

DeRo basically is this team many days, so yes, I'd say he deserves MLS MVP.

He'll be in contention for sure. If his goal scoring rate stays high, and he takes us deep into the playoffs, I'd say it would be a good bet.

IF...

[Redcoe15]

If DeRo can put TFC in the playoffs, he should be considered a candidate. :scarf:

[Pachuco]

If the season ended today, he'd definately be a candidate.

[Stryker]

MVP on this team for sure.
Without him we'd be sunk.

Its tough to say, and depends on your deifintion of MLS MVP. If you think its the player who makes the biggest difference for his team then yeah Dero is in the mix, his goals are keeping us alive. If you are talking about the MLS best player, not at all, I think Dero has been too streaky this year to be considered that.

I don't think you can define the MLS MVP as the best player because you wouldn't be able to compare apples to apples. How do you take a pure defender and a pure striker and compare the two? the only point of comparison is the impact they had on their team, you can't really compare them against each other.

So if you ask me, an MVP (or player of the year) must always be defined as who had the most impact on their team. This is why I believe Dero should be in the running.

Streaky? You mean like scoring in four straight games and getting a point in five straight over the toughest slug of the season? That kind of streaky?

I would argue that we are about to embark on the toughest "slug" of the season.

What about Freis goalkeeping for keeping us in this playoff hunt..or Wynne's steller play at the back..there is more then ONE TFC player that should be considered here.

Wynne?

I know you take pride in consistently making the dumbest possible comment but seriously...

what? hes been our best player at the back...minus two questionable hand ball claims.

[H Bomb]

I mean that in the last game Dero did one good thing. That good thing was score the winning goal. The rest of the game I thought he was possibly the worst TFC player. That kind of streaky. His selfishness hasnt fit into the passing style we've tried to implement...but he scores goals all the time and needs to start every week. That's why for me he isnt an MVP candidate.


And honest question, why change the font?

[Darlofletch]

there's certain people I'm never quite sure if they're serious and just have a radically different opinion to me, or if they're just taking the piss/trolling. Eventually they trolls always give it away by going that little bit too far. Marvell Wynne's inclusion was mighty's tipping point.

[ilikemusic]

When he has been in the lineup, he hasnt even been our best defender, nevermind the team MVP.

Nana, Serioux, Garcia and even what ive seen from Gomez has been better than what Wynne has done.

Wynne played well against Real Madrid though, so that probably means those handballs that cost us points dont count, eh? :rolleyes:
