Neither Davis nor Kaye have signed a USL Pro deal but they are training with the team under Kerr and Bent. For now the team training as the USL Pro team is basically all of the guys that were on the senior academy team in L1O last season that are still around the club. Some of those guys will sign, some will go back to the academy team, and the rest will be filled out by guys currently with the first team. Also expect a couple of outside signings just to round out the team but not many.

If I were a betting man I would say yes to both and almost certain that Kaye will be. The folks I have talked to make it quite clear that the majority of this team is going to be built from within house and Kaye is arguably the best player in the system that is not already on a home grown deal. As for Davis putting him in L1O for this full season would be a waste as he needs to be at a higher level.

I'm so glad our boys have the opportunity to continue to push themselves and work towards the first team, wish TFC 2 would have been around for Morgan and a few of the past academy players. They might have developed into better players then.

Morgan showed so much promise and was left to rot so long, that I'm sure when his contract is up with the first team he will be let go.

What I can't wait to see is our first 16/17 year old that develops so good that the first team can't ignore him. Exciting times to come in the future I do believe.

Wish I lived closer to Toronto/Vaughn so I could take my little guy to the TFC 2 matches. At 4 years old after seeing his first live match, that thriller against portland, he has become soccer/TFC crazy and has already memorized about 8 chants, he can often be overheard singing the chants to himself while kicking the ball around in our basement.

Guess we'll just have to be content going to see K-W United play in the PDL, since I can't make 99% of TFC matches do to being a chef and having to work pretty much every weekend.

Looking forward to following our youth players more closely now.

Most definitely....Kaye's name has been mentioned a lot, and considering the immediate impact he had at Willmington last season - I see him getting signed is a no brainer. And for the player himself "Do I sign a USLpro contract for 30-45k, or stay at York and still play USLpro" I would choose the latter.

http://www.canadiansoccernews.com/index.php?/page/articles.html/_/24th-minute/csa-requires-strict-canadian-quotas-for-usl-pro-sanctioning-r4815

Each team will be required to ensure that 50 percent of its active USL-Pro roster is Canadian. Importantly, it defines Canadians not by their citizenship but rather by their national team eligibility. Canadians capped by other nations are free to play for the teams, but will be considered imports in relation to CSA sanctioning. To ensure that the cubs aren't just filling out their roster with Canadians for the sake of meeting the quota, the CSA is also requiring that six of the starting 11 players for each game be Canadian.

That's kinda of a cap shoot eh, I understand the reasoning but I don't agree with it. If you hold Canadian citizenship shouldn't matter who's capped you, should still count as domestic.

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's national labor policy within the constraints of NAFTA that determines who can go where, not a pro league's decision. If you're Canadian it shouldn't matter who you've played contractually as you have domestic status legally.

It does go both ways of course. If you were born in the States but can be capped for Canada and are then you qualify as a Domestic.

It seems to be roster rules and I can understand a development league putting that stipulation to discourage people from using Canadian USL pro sides as a stepping stone to Caps for countries like Jamaica, Trinidad, Columbia. While at the same time helping to develop Canadian Talent. This is season 8 kids have now grown up with TFC and MLS in the GTA. Toronto FC has a complete path, and should be able to manage a largely Canadian Roster. Though I think they should give a few years to bring that into compliance to make sure the talent system is working.

I agree though I'm not sure it would hold up. Citizenship legally likely is suppose to ply a role.

The CSA provides sanctioning for a quota price. They dont determine who plays.

there is no labour law component to this. TFC choose to have a sanctioned business. The YSLO yahoos , for example, do not.

Not likely to ever happen but, say you have an Canadian born, US capped player that has suffered a terrible leg injury that saw your last club team release you, and you wanted to try and make a comeback. According to these rules you wouldn't qualify to play for a Canadian based USL club, and would have to find a US based USL club that would take you on.

I have a hard time believing that the CSA rule would not be struck down in court, would it not be deemed as discrimination? After all you would be a Canadian citizen being denied the right to ply your trade as a professional in your own country, can't see how that would fly with the courts even though we're talking in extreme hypothetical that will probably never happen.

Of course any one could play. The quotas determine how many of what classification. Nothing stops anyone from being on the roster in any segment.

except, of course, they do not allow women on a USL team. That exclusion seems to be fine.

Shway
02-18-2015, 12:41 PM
Whats with all this discrimination and court talk? I'm lost as to how that makes sense.

The rule/quota was created by the CSA to state that if you want to field a D3 team outside of Canada's D3 league, than it must meet the requirements we have established.

I. E.


Each team will be required to ensure that 50 percent of its active USL-Pro roster is Canadian. Importantly, it defines Canadians not by their citizenship but rather by their national team eligibility. Canadians capped by other nations are free to play for the teams, but will be considered imports in relation to CSA sanctioning. To ensure that the cubs aren't just filling out their roster with Canadians for the sake of meeting the quota, the CSA is also requiring that six of the starting 11 players for each game be Canadian.

For example, Martin Davis who is unofficially signed with TFCII is a jamaican born, youth international that has Canadian citizenship through his father. This tells me that although he is "Canadian" he will be classified as a import because hes representing another country. This does not mean he is eligible to play for this team, it just simply means he's part of the 50% that don't have to be Canadian.

These rules are slightly different from when the CSA/MLS had the rule of 7 players must be Canadian.... I didn't hear discrimination and court talks then. What's the difference now?

It's a shame that Roberts doesn't seem like he's going to get a real chance with TFC, I can see him deciding to move on after his contract is up as the club apparently does not see him as a #1 moving into the future.

I'm all for the best players playing, just sucks to see our loan Canadian keeper relegated to fourth teir. If Bono is the real deal that's fine, but do we really need 3 American keepers on our roster? Wish we would ditch konnopka (sic) and/or bendik, especially if Bono is the real deal, after all could a rookie keeper with a high ceiling really be any worse than Bendik?

I think it's about giving the team a different option up front. Spencer is a very big target forward.

And

He's a Vanney boy. He signed him to the RSL academy and then brought him to Chivas with him.

Spencer is a very promising player, so I'm ok with the signing.

I don't like it at all. Nor It does it make any sense at all.
If he's a youth international, why isn't he at any of the other 30+ US teams. He can't be that exceptional.

Now we'll have a US youth international taking away minutes from a young Canadian international.

This is probably shuffling, plus a side deal to sign him if he's doing well, conditional on obtaining rights from RSL. We'll end up with a defender spot open for, probably for a number three central defender who can also play wide, someone from inside the league who they know. Just guessing.

What if this is so we can create space on the roster for a defender? Basically spencer comes in so that Hamilton can move to the senior squad as soon as we move a striker like Dike or Moore without leaving TFC II depleted. this in turn creates room for another defender on the senior roster whilst also maintaining depth on both rosters

This is the only logical explanation for this move. But the part that doesn't make sense is that the point of Hamilton playing with tfc ii is to get minutes. Moving him to the first team doesn't do anything but put him on the bench. It's not like Dike, or Moore are getting much minutes.

Anyone know much about Liam Fraser? I am guessing he is an academy kid. Will be with TFCII this weekend.

For anyone who was interested, Fraser is 16 year old academy product. He went the full 90 against Harrisburg playing in Mannella's central midfield position. He did not look out of place. Definitely someone to keep an eye on. Gabriel Boakye also made his debut as a late subitute at right back. He was part of Canada's u17 side from concacaf qualifying last winter. It is nice to see some young kids making an impact.

Roberts also had a great match in net and was named to the team of the week. Final score was 0-0.

A Canadian right back? You're shitting me.

This is good news. After a major lull post-Henry / Morgan / Lindsay this TFC II looks like it can produce capable players for the first team again.

Manella looks like a pretty good bet.
Banouli looks promising.
The Richard eckersley look alike CB is one I'd keep an eye on as well.

I really like the set up of TFC 2 because it's entirely built on youth and potential and not experience. I think everyone in that team has the potential to go on and have a good career.

Bouchard looks like a good ball playing CB, still only 19.
Thomas is a beast and I can see him getting a contract next year. His presence alone has stabilized the backline over the last couple of games.
Uccello can be the next great attacking mid. Crazy that he's still 17.
Mannella has proven himself to be most MLS ready.
Kaye looks comfortable at LB and it looks like his best position. He was moved around (CM,LW,ST) a lot in the beginning.

Terry Dunfield helping Jason Bent out with TFCII. Wonder if they would use him as a player/coach during pan am games since they are missing so many players.
