Another TFC flip-flop on Issy

[Wombat]

A few weeks ago they brought in Issy a Canadian international footballer, under huge hype, and from the games i've seen he played pretty well and added some skill to our team.

Now he's given the bums rush and we bring in Warner from Montreal as a strainght swap PLUS cash

It's very frustrating to get behind a player, then he's gone a few months down the line and the new guy is "the way forward"


In Europe a player is almost 100% given a full season the develop and gel within the team - in MLS it can be in one month, out the next

I don't know anything about warner but 1 goal and ONE ASSIST in 67 games doesn't get my juices flowing.

I'll be at the game today - hpefully I'll get proved wrong, but another journey-man midfielder is a throw-back to the uninspiring TFC sides of the past 4-5 years :facepalm:

Agree with you 100% but you should probably post in the transfer thread where a whole lot of people are saying the same thing.

Welcome to supporting an MLS team!

Oops... er sorry, wrong forum.

lol is this a joke Nelson? issey is way better than warner. MTL's new coach just ripped off another sucker like philladelphia

[Parkdale]

I just heard through the grapevine that Issey was a dressing room nightmare, and we all remember how dressing room divisions can kill the momentum behind a club.

granted this is all hearsay , but it could explain why he's been on so many clubs in his career.

Let's not forget, no player is bigger than his club. DeRo seemed to forget that lesson, and it got messy for everyone .

[Parkdale]

Oh, and as a side note, Nasri didn't make the France squad because Didier Dechamps didnt want his bullshit. He said something like "I didn't pick the best French players, I made the best French team". Nelson is no Dechamps, but he may have faced a similar choice .

I actually hope this is the case, as it's certainly more palatable than the alternative. Issey got my back up pre-season when he made that snide comment about not being accustomed to trying-out for teams. I understand that if it comes from Messi or Ronaldo, but a player on his 9th team in 11 years (at the time), should just be glad to find a team still willing to pay him to play professional football. He seemed better in later interviews and I thought it was maybe just a bad day, but who knows. I do know from unimpeachable sources that there have been a number of players in the past that TFC got rid of because they were a nightmare in the locker room, and for all the club/management's massive problems at the time, to their credit they never publicly aired that dirty laundry even when they were receiving tons of public criticism for the moves. I have no idea if that was indeed the case with Issey, but it is indeed a possibility.

sounds like a load of B.S to me. hate it when people value politics and nonsense over actual football.

[starter]

Issey certainly overachieved here, and if others followed we might have had a better team.
If there were rumors like that, you would wonder who is behind them, and who is actually the 'cancer'?

[flatpicker]

I blame Parkdale.

the mls is a diff animal...when you have guys making 6 to 8 mil and guys making 30 to 50 k,i guess there should be some issues in the dressing room.
