You could most likely ask any TFC player that and they would love playing with Blanco and McBride, proven players.

You'd rather have Rolfe than Ricketts? Glad you're not running the show. Rohan has some MLS experience under his belt now and he's going to have the benefit of a training camp and (hopefully) a stable roster to work with...his class will show throw this season.

Im hoping your right. I think Rohan is a good player don't get me wrong, but if you look strictly at the stats it would appear that Rolfe is twice the player Rohan is. He did however play at striker for a portion of the season and had a stronger supporting cast.
All and all I think they're close in terms of skill. Rohan distributes better but Rolfe has an eye for goal and even when playing the wing is more prone to press in and take the shot.

Expectations are very high for RR, nobody will be a bigger beneficiary of playing with DeRo (who will create a lot of room for him).

He needs to dominate. I think he can.

Agreed. I think training with his team will provide an additional level of familiarity that will only improve on his own performance and the team's. I am looking forward to seeing what he does this year.

As they should be.

I've yet to see the level of play from him that you would expect from a guy who played for both Arsenal and Spurs.

There is a grill room playing in the morning, I hope it's a replay. I set my PVR.

I wish there was more notice on these things. They'd get better viewership.

Chris Rolfe makes $87,000. I love my Ricketts, but taking all things into account in the MLS market, i think most GMs would take Rolfe over Ricketts. For one thing, Rolfe had 9 goals and 7 assists last year, Ricketts was 4-4. Different positions, i know, but Ricketts made 212,000 last year. Again, I am a Ricketts fan, but I wouldn't be dismissing Rolfe outright... Great price, more production.
Even if you want to compare "first seasons in MLS", Rolfe was 8-5 in his first season in MLS.

I think Ricketts will come on strong this year and perform even better than he did this year. But given his price, he still has a ways to go before he provides the value per dollar that Rolfe does.
And Rolfe was drafted relatively low considering his important role now.
