Thanks Denime!

I had a chance to talk to Plata, I'll be writing an article later today for RNO, about Plata's intentions for next year regarding his loan, and Winter's perspective as well.

Ty Harden wins an award with every bit of help from the MLSE?

WTF, is he also the only candidate for TFC Mormon of the year?

Santos Is Happy Playing Amongst Friends:

“It’s good to play with a midfield that understands how to play football,” he said. “When they have the first touch, they know where they are going to put it and where they are going to move, so it’s very easy.”

Santos also provided the initial pass to Marvin Chávez that set up Brek Shea’s team-leading 10th goal of the year, and Hyndman continued to praise his summer transfer-window acquisition.

“I think Maicon is a very intelligent player,” he said. “I think he’s going to be very good for our team. He’s the one piece that we’ve been missing.”

If that is what Maicon said, it's on him. Even if it's true, even if he is right- you shouldn't say things like that, just not good. At least not in that way.

It's the weekly round up - a good chunk is on TFC's big win this weekend with Frings at the back and how we might see him there more than some would probably like. Some strong words for the 'caps as they've essentially s.hit the bed this season and moved on with rennie coming in next year, and some insight into Marsch as well.

Why is Santos gone? Failure to perform. Plain and simple. I wish him success in Dallas, but he is ultimately a role player that provides depth to a club.

I find almost every player that we have traded or let go this year has had at least one quote where they say it is finally good to get to a team that does...or has...when compared to Toronto.

Whatever...

Abandond is such a good word to use looking at that.

What a cunt.

"Having a forward who runs intelligently into space and pressures the defence is better than having one who jogs around lazily and only sometimes seems interested in the game going on around him," TFC supporters said in response.

Of all the things to criticize this club for though, weak midfield? Really? Hey Maicon, maybe if you made a few more runs they would have looked for you more

I still completely believe the only reason we got him was that Mo Johnston thought fans would think he's the real Maicon, he of actual quality. It was after all, just after the 2010 World Cup that we got him. Either that or Mo himself thought he was.

I liked Santos when he was in Toronto, but really? Rather than making snide remarks, he should be thankful to an organization that gave him a legitimate opportunity to excel and revitalized what was a pathetic career prior to landing with TFC. I wonder what his thoughts were regarding the other eight clubs he has played for since 2004. :rolleyes:

Well hopefully he plays the way he did with TFC against us in CCL. Lazy and selfish.

I don't think he's eligible to play for Dallas in the CCL group stage because of roster restricitions.

Shit.. I think your right. So I'm guessing Avila is not eligible for us either?

Loved what Winter had to say about Plata's goal on the weekend....No chance that goes in if Santos was on the pitch...Marosevic's running into the 6 yard box distracted the keeper enough for the shot to go in...If Santos was playing he would have been standing on the penalty spot SCREAMING for Plata to pass him the ball....and still complaining even after the goal went in....

I don't think so. There were a few posters that researched the CCL guidelines last week and I believe the rosters do not reset until the knockout stage.
