:canada:Lets be realistic, the labour dispute is hindering the team to pick up a good centre back, but in the past when have we really seen change to the team this late in the season.
It seems to me like we're set for the season to look like this:
Legend: Canadian(6), American(9), International(6)
---------------------------------Frei----------------------------------
-------------------------------Edwards--------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wynne------------Attakora---------------Garcia------------Brennan
*Herold------------Gomez------------------Hayden---------------*Gala
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cronin------------DeGuzman-----------*Robinson---------DeRosario
Peterson---------*Joseph------------------Sanyang------------????????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------Gerba------------------Barrett--------------------
-------------------Ibrahim-------------------White---------------------
*Zach Herold, I'm not sure if he can be a reliable substitute off the bench.
*Gabe Gala, I'm not sure why we're keeping the kid, he's playing for his school, and if he returns from school TFC will hold his rights. So why is he on the bench?
*Carl Robinson, He saw some injuries at the end of last season but he's more likely to start for TFC(Not saying he's our best choice). I just don't see him taking a substitute role and an international spot.
*Nana Joseph, I'm not sure if he's a centre midfielder, defensive midfielder or if he plays on the left/right wing.
*???????, I wrote this because its a void that needs filling, if we're on the road, and like most games, Gala is not available as a substitute on the bench.
The World Cup:
*I'm not sure if they'll play through or if they plan on stopping play during the World Cup.
This is what our team might look like during the month between June and Mid-July:
---------------------------------Frei----------------------------------
-------------------------------Edwards--------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Attakora-----------Gomez----------------Garcia------------Brennan
*Herold------------------------------------Hayden---------------*Gala
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Peterson----------DeGuzman-----------*Robinson--------DeRosario
-------------------*Joseph----------------Sanyang------------????????
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------Gerba------------------Barrett--------------------
-------------------Ibrahim-------------------White---------------------
This roster for this time period doesn't look bad, but if you consider Herold and Gala's experience and skill level, you have to be a bit worried. Not to forget Hayden is no faster than Garcia and he might be the only other option available in defense(I don't consider Robinson an option at CB).
Also, Peterson, Hayden, White, Barrett, and Robinson are not the poster boys for staying injury free. Here's for hoping for a miracle with no fitness coach:drinking:
