Once Conway was training with TFC the writing was on the wall. Conway will be a solid, experienced backup in case of injury. Good luck to Edwards as he had some memorable moments during his tenure with the Reds...

Big thanks go out to his service for the team, it's too bad he'll probably be best remembered for the 0-5 loss in NJ last year.

Unless Conway is cheaper, where is the logic in this?

Besides Garcia and Barrett (shocked those 2 are still around). Basically the people we don't want leaving, are.

Edwards was a solid backup. I'm sorry to see him go and wish him the best of luck.
I'm not familiar with Conway, so I'll reserve judgement for his first appearance.

Barrett has a contract nobody will touch and Garcia is friends with Mo Johnston.... yet you're shocked they're still around?

Conway and Parke tested positive for androstatriendione (ATD) and boldenone metabolites, two banned performance enhancing substances, after taking an over the counter supplement they purchased at The Vitamin Shoppe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vitamin_Shoppe).

not exactly crack.

Probably because he's lazy and Preki doesn't seem to like lazy players.
I never liked edwards....he was lazy.

johnston's guys aren't safe anymore, i think absolutely all of the departures have solidified that.

i liked edwards and thought he probably deserved more of a shot in this league.. not in front of Frei tho... he's probably better off being released. He can hook up with any number of US teams who could use a cheap domestic keeper. If he can't find work he should join an NASL team and get a full season in as a starter (like Jay Nolly in Vanny).

Anyhow, not a big deal really.

I think this is a bit of sideways move but eh. Conway has plenty of experience in MLS, even if he's erratic at times.

Good luck in your career, Edwards.

After reading his interview, I feel terrible for him. He tries to keep it in but knows that releasing him one day before a season's start is bad business.

one of the things i really dont like about MLS, and why I think guaranteed contracts will ultimately be better for the league. you gotta treat your employees better than last min dump in the streets

edwards had that west-coast, laid-back demeanor about him. i thought he had a world of talent but i like what preki is doing in getting a squad with a similar personality. its like he's playing Football Manager 2010

Meh, Edwards always seemed kind of languid and lazy to me. I thought he put on a few performances that were pretty good, but I also don't think he really stood out at all.

Best of luck to him.

I thought Edwards covered nicely for Frei last year... I don't get the move, but there must be something we dont see on the surface.

According to the interview, Preki didn't feel that there was a place for Eddy with the team. They also didn't apparently see eye to eye.

edwards is not a big loss imo, i never heard of conway untill now... im sure he wont be a big loss either when hes released next season...

Losing Edwards will hurt us in a couple of years. Frei will, sooner or later, be good enough to go to Europe. By the time that happens, Conway will be clapped out if he isn't already. Do the sums.
