Would you take Kevin Harmse back?

[TFC The Hague]

He's just been released by the Houston Canucks. Would you deal for him if you were Preki?

[Broadview]

If his girlfriend lets him, sure.

[Redpunkfiddle]

We just let a surplus DM go. Why would he ever bring another one in, especially a lesser talent?

Cue the 'not this shit again' image....

But yes, his girlfriend was hot.

[Broadview]

I wouldn't give anything for him, but:

Preki knows him, he counts as Canadian, he's sort of versatile (a little below average at a couple positions), he doesn't make a ton of dough and he's from Vancouver so he could probably be flipped over there next season for a pick or allocation or whatever.

Of course that's putting aside the fact that he asked to leave here before bouncing around MLS.

[canadian_bhoy]

No. /thread.

[Shway]

^second that
you want to leave this club,
you have no rights to come back

[Oldtimer]

It was his g/f who made him leave. I don't think he disliked the club at all.

If she's no longer in the picture, I'd take him back.

Well if she's not in the picture then it's an ugly picture and I don't want him.

[bgnewf]

Reasonably priced relatively versatile Canadians are at a premium in this league. Sign him up please.

[woolly]

I'd take Poz over Harmse in a heartbeat. Sadly, I'd take Harmse over Garcia in the same heartbeat.

How sad is that?

[maninb]

No chance...a below average, slow hacker...doesn't matter if he's a Canuck or not...HE SUCKS!!!

[Oldtimer]

Poz was certainly under-rated in terms of his usefulness for an MLS side. I'd take him back, for sure. He's not available yet, though.

[TFC OZZ]

Too much hatred for the player around these parts. At the end of the day, he's a relatively cheap experienced Canadian and a half-decent player, so yeah i'd consider the deal. Would I take Harmse over Pozniak? Absolutely.

You gotta talk about skill relatively here folks, Harmse can probably compete with any player on our back line or mid at this moment, because none of them are superstars either. He got a couple red cards, and he's a rough player but you know what, sometimes you need a guy who'll go out and let an opposing player know he's there.

[TFCRegina]

I'd take Harmse back in a second. I'd especially take him back if it was at a significantly lower salary than what we were paying Robinson. I can't see Harmse making more than 100k a year and he would make a good bench player to use in a pinch. People who are against him because we just let Robbo go aren't thinking rationally. Robbo cost over 3 times what Harmse is worth, and Robbo is not 3 times the player of Harmse.

[felipe]

I'd love to get Harmse back too...in my eyes he was showing some real improvement just before he left - of course he's barely played since - but I like him. Gotta have a hatchet man, now that Serioux has gone...

[DangerRed]

No Harmse, no Garcia.

[MartinUtd]

He's no better than Sanyang so it really would be a horizontal if not downward move.

[rocker]

no, harmse just wasn't good enough. we already saw that... no reason to test him out again.

now, I would take his girlfriend back.....

[TFC Tifoso]

we're short at CB.....should we take Reda back too?.....

[fetajr]

NO!! HE SUCKS

[reggie]

yes...if he plays for free..we have no cap room.

I'm wondering if Houston may have dropped Harmse in order to make room for a possible pick up of Serioux.

It would make sense and would benefit TFC as they would then owe us compensation.

3rd round pick we are hearing for Serioux

[DichioTFC]

No Harmse. Yes Serioux.


3rd round pick we are hearing for Serioux

A 3rd round pick is a future trialist for a different team. It wont amount to anything.

[Darlofletch]

He's better than the literally nothing we currently have filling out our roster. Haven't we always complained about not having a full squad? Depending on the price obviously, and if he wanted to which i doubt, i'd definitely take him back.

that's what trialists are for.

Ah, missed that. Damned work / pay cheque. :D

[Pachuco]

No Harmse, No Poz, please let's move on with some real talent and some real depth.

[TFC07]

No Harmse, No Poz, please let's move on with some real talent and some real depth.

I think we don't have the money to add real talent to our team. :facepalm:

[Pigfynn]

The fact that we are even asking this question is exactly what's wrong with this team. Harmse? Oh dear.

Rationally, we dropped Carl because we have DeGuzman, Cronin and Sanyang. We have the well priced depth here already.

[Fushida]

Do I miss his dazzling runs up the field? His constant pressuring of opponents? His intelligent passes? His excellent movement into space?

Oh wait, we were talking about Harmse? Scratch all that out and we're left with what he had shown while here. Nothing. Cheap or not, I'd rather have the open roster spot for those future stars Mo's gonna be reeling in ;)

No, I am against him because he is not good......a player like him is not what TFC should be aiming for if they are looking to make progress....

[Fushida]

Not good is giving him too much credit. He was consistently the worst player on the pitch back when he was playing. Kind of just an emptiness in the midfield.

[rocker]

he was like an enforcer in hockey.. not a lot of talent but if somebody took liberties with a teammate he was ready to rumble.

I saw that when he was in LAG, but never when he was here. Never saw any real emotion in all those blown calls against us. Most of the time he just jogged around, looking disinterested. Gets the ball occasionally, then passes it right off to continue his jogging. To be honest, in his last few games with us he showed a spark of sorts, and played quite well to our standards. But in most games he was just invisible and looked bored. And frankly, laziness and a lack of concentration are the worst traits you want in a soccer player.

Would you take Kevin Harmse back?

No...
