Good morning to all, no previews of today's supplemental draft, which the Reds have four picks in.

Frei was such a soft spoken, positive and warm guy at the Year end this year. . . . I got the impression that he Truly was thankful for the support, and obviously delighted in our view that he is not long for MLS given his obvious talents. .

THANK GOD he is lacing up for TFC this year. . .. lets build the team around him.

I hope there is some reenforcements coming in for at least this year. This is looking bad.

I mentioned before that I've been watching the CONCACAF Copa Centro-Americana, and if the players we've drafted are not making these young squads for the countries we might be good for filling positional depth but I think we can kiss goodbye to a playoff appearance.

Teach from the V's board is saying that Monslave is back for trial as TFC back-up keeper. Waiting for confirmation.

Why did he leave Finland, I thought he was doing pretty well. Would coming back to the MLS mean taking a big pay cut. Good to see if it happens though.

He left Finland because he wanted to move to a better league.

No Finland is not better than MLS, it's comparable to NASL/USL.

The reason why players go there is so they can be seen by German, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish clubs...and if you're Tosaint Ricketts, Canuck Striker, Romanian clubs.

Duane,

You may want to check out a little inconsistancy at the end of your article. Probably just a typo, but...

With above average speed, it’s likely that Omphroy will be compared to former TFC defender Marvell Wynne. Frei says that although Omphroy can outrun defenders like Wynne, he doesn’t rely on his speed as much as the current Colorado Rapids player does.

“He doesn’t have the same speed as Marvell, but he is strong on the ball,” Frei said. “He’s got great control with the ball at his feet and is always looking to create something.”

Considering what Andrew Jennings uncovered about Sepp Blatter and FIFA, don't be suprised if Zimbabwe is actually awarded the women's World Cup. Corruption. Ya gotta love it! :facepalm:

This.

David loved Europe especially being able to play in Champions League qualifiers, but he comes home every chance he gets. I get the feeling there is a little bit of homesickness. Not to mention, his team probably won't be in the CL again.

Versus a multi talented CSA? Its an even race as far as I'm concerned. Love to see this come to Canada, but with our association you never know.

If you care about the Canadian game, email these ASA members and ask them why they're trying to interfere with the SGM vote by hiring security to keep out those who oppose them, as well as suspending entire districts in advance of the vote (making their votes void). Oh, and the meeting was not done on enough notice (3 weeks), and the vote has been scheduled for first thing in the morning.

Duane,

How is this inconsistent????????

Frei says that although Omphroy can outrun defenders like Wynne...

“He doesn’t have the same speed as Marvell, but he is strong on the ball,”


Person A and Person B are both faster than Person C through Z.
Person A is faster than Person B.

No inconsistencies.

You're right, it's not inconsistent - it's a poorly constructed sentence. Omphroy is not outrunning defenders like Wynne. Rather, like Wynne, Omphroy can outrun defenders. Thus my confusion...

No inconsistencies.

Poor punctuation. You need a comma before "like wynne" :

Frei says that, like Wynne, Omphroy can outrun defenders.

What you have now is a split infinitive, it could mean two different things.

Average salaries are slightly less there, but the clubs pay for condo, car, plane tickets home etc.

I've been one of his biggest critics, but...

New Season, New Management, New Players around him (hopefully coming soon), and recovery from surgery - here's hoping it all leads to a big turnaround for him, and the entire club...

Ahh, Zimbabwe may not, but Mugabe does...looting his own country as he does.

Mugabe seems like Blatter's type of guy - unfortunately, I could see this happening. And all along, Blatter would claim that he was doing it in the interests of "building women's soccer in Africa".

Just read on Canadian Soccer News that David Monslave is back at TFC:

Did you miss the first part of this thread? We had been talking about this for the previous 4 hrs.

I am still looking for confirmation from a news source as Teach is just a close friend to Monslave.
