Richard Starnes (Ottawa Citizen)

I can't stand it when people call the team "the F-cee". At the bottom of the article it says he's the soccer writer of the ottawa citizen, I think he just did his homework by reading the blogs and regurgitating what everyone else has posted.

On paper, I think our best starting lineup looks like this: 4-3-3.

-----------------------Frei------------------------
Gargan-----Attakora----------Cann----------Sturgis
--------------------------------------------------
-------Peterson-----DeGuzman-----LaBrocca-------
--------------------------------------------------
Santos-------------------------------------Barrett
--------------------------------------------------
---------------------DeRosario--------------------


Opening day, I hope some changes have been made and some of these people are not left off the roster but maybe downgraded to support the best quality team.

Underlined = are the starters
* = are the players that are capable of playing the position despite some weaknesses(such as being weak physically, or very average skill-wise, or inconsistent).
Quality = Is what I expect the new players brought in by Winter to be and the level of talent brough to the position.
Depth = Serviceable players

-----------------------Frei-------------------------
---------------------Conway-----------------------
----------------------------------------------------
Attakora-----Quality---------Quality--------Quality
*Henry-------Gomez-----------Cann----------Depth
----------------------------------------------------
--------Quality-----DeGuzman-----*LaBrocca-------
--------Gargan-------Depth---------Sturgis--------
--------------------------------------------------
*Santos-------------------------------------Quality
Peterson------------------------------------*Lindsay
--------------------------------------------------

I started a thread on formation, you can post and discuss this there. I think we need to at least 2 more strikers to use the 4-3-3, the strikers we have I don't see doing well. (maybe Santos and DeRo)

Aron Winter's appointment made a number of Dutch news sources. Here's four of them:

Don't sleep on Starnes he's actually quite good normally.

Anything worth while in these articles or is it just regurgitation from yesterday ?

This "Quality" kid has almost as many brothers as "Future Considerations", that guy is always getting traded...

sometimes.... I agree with Cathal:


It’s great that Toronto FC has found some new coaching blood. Hurrah. Skip the self-congratulation, find some players, then start winning. That’s the only story anybody wants to hear.

still hate cathal and he was bashing the new management before they were even officially signed, i have no doubt we will have new players soon enough.
looking forward to Ornach signing

his point still stands though, and it's not about not having players yet - it's about TFc making news that isn't really important - the only news that matters is when TFC wins a game. Staffing isn't the story. Even signings aren't the story. Winning is the only report that matters.

Yeah I don't get it either. Most of his readers will undoubtedly acknowledge that we are in desperate need of more players before the season starts, but I can't think of anyone who hasn't seen the Winter/Mariner news as anything but good. I mean, this has been a big week for TFC, so let's not start getting negative just because that's what we're used to.

agreed, but until the team is winning games, people will be (justifiably) skeptical.

its slow building blocks, cant win games until we have players,cant bring in players until you have management

Got management, now we can work on the players, dudes ignoring all of htis in his article for the sake of complaining as he always does

Not only that, it's a fairly garbage article that takes the word of Scottish tabloids as fact.

Not quite. He mentions something about Dero being the only player "with any soccer class" at TFC. He forgot to mention his lack of class with some of the weird antics on and off the field (Cheque signing fiasco etc...).
