Apparently a journalist said he hit the wood work from 5 yards out at KTG.

Also, word has it that he had a poor first touch in practice and is using international travel as an excuse.

I declare this thread a bust, there has even been not one reference to the Silva trade. Does anyone even care about football any more?

Ya, I'd rather take my chances on Mista again (any chance he can come out of retirement?) than this guy. ;)

I think we should just loan him. I want to see more of Braun.

The first training session the guy has with us, in a new country, with all new players and coaches who speak a different language, with little sleep and long travel, and rust from having over a month off after the cup loss. Yup, he's a bust.

I Think we should cut our losses. We might have to eat some of his cap hit, but I wonder if we could maybe get a supplemental draft pick for him.

Have you ever had to travel international and preform immediately the next day? As someone who has traveled around the world playing music, I learned never to have shows booked the day you arrive. We were always shit. It takes few days to recover and adjust before you can preform at your best.

I don't trust most journalist's eyes to judge a player... so much more one who is willing to write off a just-arrived player who has been through exhausting travel.

If Urruti wants to usurp the greatest finisher of the modern era he'll have to do better than Weedman's goal per 125 minutes (including v cup). Urruti had a goal per 123 minutes between the copa libertadores and torneo final so it should be an epic battle.

But like Corpand said, we mustn't count out Braun.

But did he work hard??? Did he run all the time? When he hit the wood work did he fall on the ground and slap it out of frustration? Did he stay down for 2 to 3 minutes? if so those are the markings of a great striker.

Time to cut our losses with this guy.

1. Trade to Montreal for Supplemental Draft Pick
2. Waive draft pick after four games next season
3. ????
4. Profit

I hear in training he took ten penalties and ONLY scored 9 of them! What a total flop! And that one penalty, he hit the post! the inside of the post, and the ball rolled along the line, and only just didn't go into the net! Crazy, he's clearly useless!

08-16-2013, 01:03 PM
Ah, sure the club says its official but have we seen him actually hold up that beautifully crested shirt? No? Well, under MLS rules he can still ask the Pope for an annulment, since the public relations act has not yet been performed by the player and the club.

Never mind. The obligatory shirt shot is complete. No turning back now, holmes.

What is amazing is that someone at TFC must have said: "You know what will really get people excited? Film the cresting of the shirt. It will drive them crazy."

Wow. He's not even a DP.

Is there an archive of first shirt pressing videos for new players that I can peruse? Fascinating shit. I just can't get enough.

Hey, fair play to you, man. I find one of the biggest shortcomings of TFC support is that we often lose perspective and take ourselves a bit too seriously (myself included). We need to make fun of ourselves more often! Supporting this team, one must have a sense if humour in order to survive.

Well I watched a lot of football in Argentina primarily to watch Urruti before he even came. He played CF and had 2 extremely talented wingers that were able to feed him the ball anywhere on the pitch. The names of the wingers were, Pablo Ediquez and Fredrico Eloisi. Watching a lot of urruti he scored a lot of tap ins and goals because of the superb playmaking abilities of his wingers. TFC need better wingers to feed/cross the ball for maxi

Ya, i think Rey could be a talented crosser, but Convey is leaving a lot to be desired, other than a few games here and there. i think if there was a more playmaking winger on the left, or at least a feeding/playmaking midfielder that can find the wingers out wide or send a killer pass to the forwards, the team would be 10 times more dangerous going forward

I don't get Sportsnet 1 on my cable tv package. So I didn't watch the Columbus game. However I did get a pain in my neck around the time that Urruti probably came on. Clearly a sign from the universe that he is a bad signing. Let's ship this garbage out the door before we lose more time. I've read a lot of posts about starting Frei again, please start Frei in Urruti's place.

Yagbod
08-20-2013, 04:28 PM
^ Good idea. Frei may be an improvement and it may be the only way he gets to play.
