Toronto will also be without Tyler Hemming. The midfielder has asked to leave the club. "Tyler asked to be released today, so we're now another man down," said Carver. "If he doesn't want to be here, there is no way I'm going to beg him to stay just because we are short of players. It is his request; he wants to go."

We can sign players who are currently out of contract, or trade within MLS.

We should be bringing in international players to improve the standard of the team and the league, but if we are going to end up being short on international dates we will have to start signing players who are not internationals; that doesn't help develop the standard of the game."


Just what I said TFC is going to have to do if MLS doesn't get it's FIFA scheduling in order. I got a bit roasted for it but it is one of the only things that can be done to stabilize the roster.

What an odd journey for Tyler Hemming this year. He starts and puts on a decent performance in the first game of the season, doesn't get much playing time later on, gets released to make roster space only to later be brought back now when he gets his chance to make in impact on the team he quits.

I just don't get it.

We had a spot on the senior roster open BEFORE this move, so this changes nothing with respect to that. On top of that, assuming Dunivant isn't coming back this year, we could place him on SEI and sign a replacement. Still don't know why this hasn't been done yet.

Just due to the amount of opportunity probably.

Hemming had very few chances to prove themselves and probably wanted to go to a club where he would be on the first team.

Hemming's obviously upset over the minutes Rosenlund's been getting. How many Canadians named Tyler can one team have in central midfield?

v00d00daddy
09-02-2008, 04:47 PM
During a time when this team has gone through injuries, suspensions, and a really long run of bad play he hasn't seen any playing time.

According to the TFC site he's played in 3 games for a total of 97 minutes. That's just ahead of Colin Samuel and Andrea Lombardo.

I would probably want to leave too. Maybe leaving right now, when TFC needs him the most is his way of telling the team to fuck off.

I think it's a childish move but a part of me can't blame him for doing it.

Dont think people are leaving cuz its a clubhouse thing, Tebily left cuz he wasnt starting (and possibly should have been) then when he could have, he was injured, hemming, prob just pissed hes not getting first team

rocker
09-02-2008, 05:20 PM
i thought tebily left because of family reasons? he wasn't starting early just because the team was going OK, and then he played, got hurt, and then decided to leave. was it confirmed that he left cuz he wasn't getting playing time?

hemming shouldn't have come back the second time tho... not sure why he did, except to practice for the summer. if he didn't like his playing time before, he should have been pretty certain he wasn't going to get it during the second period.
Also, I think he was hurt at some point recently too.

Tebily had family issues. From what I hear, he was quite happy here. His family came over to visit (wife and kids) and soon after that, he asked to be released so he could go home.

Remember, Hemming got hurt too. He pulled his hamstring around the same time Dichio picked up his concussion. It was right after he played a strong game (can't remember who against).

If he hadn't got hurt, he might have been able to solidify a position for himself. I liked him and am sorry to see him go but I don't like the way he left.

Maybe he's been offered a job at a local blue chip firm and has decided to leave football for good. :)

I'm disappointed that he would choose to do this now. I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but it's really unfortunate with the Chivas match coming up and his chance to have gone out either with glory or having proven his strength of character. Instead, we're even more short handed for this weekend's match.

All the best to him in his future endeavours, but we're now in a worse position. I'll still be there, and I may have to sub in if things get worse. Could be the match of the year (no matter which direction it goes ;)).

So, we are down to 13 players for Saturday? Are we in a position that we can get emergency callups from the league? I think we are due at least 2 squad players and a keeper....no? After all there refusal to reschedule the match and ridiculous rules has put us up against it this week.

It’s hard to for TFC to build any depth with all these fricking crybabies. If Hemming was any kind of professional he would have waited until the off season. Mo should sign some CSL guys to fill out the developmental roster and gets us some numbers.

Why not get more? I'm sure they could get almost the entire reserve squad. I'm sure they have more then 13 players.

In case you are new around here, MLS has these things called roster restrictions, you can read all about it here: http://redpatchboys.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=3237

So, anyone who's on that list can play in either reserves games or normal games. So, assuming we have a full roster, we would have 28 people to pick from for both reserves and MLS games. We can't pull from the academy since, as was pointed out above, MLS regulations don't allow it (and the worse hit IMO) and the player would lose their NCAA eligibility.

Now, we only have 17 senior players, and 7 developmental players to pick from (with Hemming gone). In a reserve game, this is okay, since the MLS allows for random callups without a contract in reserve games (which is why you see "guest" players in TFC reserve games). For an actual MLS game though, you don't have the same luxury.

With Hemming gone, and assuming Dichio is available and Ibee hasn't been called up, we end up with 12 players total, and +1 pool keeper from the MLS (since Dunivant and Attakora are hurt).

This is going to hurt more than we think, but I don't know if Hemming would have made the difference. I don't understand the love that goes out for all these dev players all the time. To be honest, if Hemming got the same amount of playing time as Lombardo did last year, I'm sure you all would be calling for his head, and would be glad he's gone.

the question is whats up with Hemming? does he think he should starting regular? soory his play does not warrant that...he was good coming off the bench...if he stuck with it he mighthave started a couple of season down the line? hes been getting bad advice, no doubt from a family member/agent!!

haha, I was just in Finland, just got back last night... why would he go play there? Went by the Helsinki's team stadium, looked ok, more modern then BMO in terms of style, but maybe not as big. Anyway, wow.

Sidney makes a good point though.

It must really suck for moral and ego and commitment to be making a developmental salary $12-17K while there are Senior Roster spots sitting there unused and available.
We've have had extra and unused spots for a while, would it have killed the club to promote him, or someone else from the developmental roster until we need to fill the spot? $17K a year is a joke.

I don't agree with that point. If the spot was his, then sure, plug him in. But it's obvious that the spot is supposed to go elsewhere, to someone who should be in a senior spot. Mo isn't going to handcuff himself by giving someone a senior spot just because there is one available at this moment.

The real issue is the poor pay in those spots. It should at least be 25k to make life liveable for these guys.

Senior developmental players make $35K I think...Hemming was a SD.

Sorry, just checked the salaries, its $17,700

i can understand the pay thing the first time around.....
but hemming made a choice to come back for the low pay AGAIN... so I'm not gonna feel sorry for him. he could have made more in the USL I think, as a regular player.

But being brought up isn't permanent....look at Lombardo, he started as a dev...got brought up...then got put back.

I think the point is, while senior spots aren't being used, why not promote some dev guys up (the league pays salaries anyways) then if a signing is pending, put them back down. It's not like bringing someone up would prevent us from signing someone.

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't mean much (probably 1-2K a month) but the gesture would be a good one.

wow!!! Just checked how much the "MLS Pool" players make.

D.Monsalve makes $33,000

Maybe that's why players developmental players get upset, when pool players make double and triple their amounts.

this must be a NDP section...Hemming was paid his true value..how can you pay a bench warmer more then the 17,000? he should have been grateful.

RPB branchtford , you seem like you hate TFC or anything to do with them .. Tyler Hemming IMO is and was a very good player that never really got the crack he deserved .. 17 g's is peanuts

It's got nothing top do with that.
Sometimes you reward hard work, it's good man management.

Take for example NCAA football teams. Scholarships are for one year and are renewable for up to 5 years. They have a maximum scholarship number of 85, but usually also have about 10-15 walk ons, players that are paying their own way to school. Sometimes up to $50,000 a year

Now with transfers, players leaving the team due to injury or personal reasons, etc. each team may not have 85 scholarship players. In those cases quite often the coach decides to award the extra scholarships to walk ons for the year. You're limit is 85 so why not use it?

Those players aren't going to win you any championships or ever play on Sundays, but they are an important part of the team and it's important for man management to be seen to reward commitment and hard work.

When we're not at our limit, why not use the spots? Reward some players who are making pennies.

As I said previously it's not big $$, and it's not coming out of MLSE's pockets, so I'm not sure why the club doesn't use all the spots, if not only temporarily.

can't argue that...but reward hard work...hmmm maybe he didn;t make the effort in practice only showing up at games, only JC and Mo know that, and by his lack of playing time i would say thats a safe bet.

There's a lot of f*ckin stupid comments in this thread.

Why is everyone bashing Tyler Hemming....because he has to wait on the bench while no talent players like Carl Robinson and Kevin Harmse patrol the midfield with so much ineptness its frightening?

Good...Im happy he left...he was wasting his time here.

He started 1 f*ckin game this season and he was the best player on the field...and everyone agreed on that.....go back and check the Columbus TFC game threads if you don't believe me.

you won't get any arguement from me Luca...sounds to me like he is going to get paid a decent wage and hopefully some playing time.

where do you get that from?? first love TFC....second if hemming was any good he would have played...and Carver said as much..anyone who plays good will start the next game...thats why Hemming never played he wasn;t good enough.

I'd like to know how many people would actually be loyal to their employer who gives them practically zero chances to prove themselves and cuts their pay by 30% in mid season.

Open your eyes people, nobody wants to play under those conditions.

Attakora getting those 2 starts at RB in a row was probably the last straw.

Attakora's solid defensively, but c'mon...he doesn't even come close to bringing the width that Hemming did going forward.

Soccer is such a fickle business where so much is based on timing.

Well personally I'd rate Attakora over Hemming, but Tyler when he played generally did well I thought.

I Rosenlund available for today's game?
