Should Johann Smith start today?

[jloome]

...one of Ives' posters who has watched him says he's not as good a finisher as Jozy Altidore...but he is as good as Robbie Rogers.

THen again, maybe he's just a fanboy. Should Wheels get the start?

[Ossington Mental Youth]

i totally think he should start, provided Dichio is still injured, if not sub him in in the 60th cuz im sure hes prob not as fit as he could be

[Markham_RPB]

apparently he will be making his debut today for toronto fc.
whether he starts or not is another question , but soccey by ives apparently says johann smith will make his debut for toronto fc against the SHITE bulls

[jloome]

There's a short thread on him on the general MLS board on BS, and several US fans seem to indicate New England screwed up big time by letting him go.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

I wonder if he will play striker or winger, im personally hoping striker

[Lucky Strike]

If Dichio is fit, then Wheels doesn't start. I'd place Dichio and Barrett. He can be a super sub (as in super fast) with Ibrahim.

[Stryker]

Start Dichio and sub in Johann at the half.
Assuming of course that after a few weeks with Winspear Barrett can go the full 90.

[Corpand]

I belive Robert is still questionable with his injury. Thus, I say why not start him. Would be nice to play him on the right wing with Wynne, I can only imagine the speed there....

I agree with you here...

(that is if your talking about 3 up front???)

Ibbe----Danny----Chad


I really wanna see what we'd look like as an attack-oriented team (especially with danny having 2 outlets), knowing we have possibly the top-keeper in MLS (arguably)....

People think our problem is the back-end.... It isnt... It's the stupid turnovers *cough-Robbo+Rober-cough*,

having danny w/ 2 outlets... we could actually hold possession in their end

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

Play? Yes. Start? No. Both Ibrahim and Gala can / should play wide left ahead of Smith. I’d like to see him get some time at centre forward in the second half.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

Ibrahim is great but i dont think we will see him starting as often as we have as hes only 16, has got alot to learn and have someone with a little bit more experience that plays his position

[Stryker]

Carver said on friday that Robert was working hard all week and there weren't any problems whatsoever.
Not sure why so many people think he won't play.

[rocker]

i agree..

although one point: Ibbe is now 17 years old... :)

[TFC-Tyler]

Yes he should have. And LOL at the third option, whoever voted for him being too young must not be a TFC fan considering one of our starters is 4 years younger than him.

And what has Ibby showed that would make him a clear starter? One goal a while back against the Fire? Since than he hasnt done anything.
