You can add Nick LaBrocca's name to the long list of former TFC players that go on and do well on other teams after leaving TFC. Nick LaBrocca so far this season with Chivas USA has played in 19 games and has scored 6 goals so far playing in the midfield. It is so funny how so many former TFC players go on and do well with other MLS teams.
Have you taken all possibilities into account because i'm sure some have stayed stagnant or regressed.Quote:

We've gone through what...100+ players on the roster in total (not all have seen the pitch)...
Throw enough shit at a wall and some of it will stick.
LaBrocca succeeded. Good for him. Meanwhile Usanov, Garcia, Gala, Ibrahim, Saric, Gomez, Sanyang and Mista are all pumping gas or in Saric's case shoplifting.
I liked him and was upset we got rid of him. He made the second starting 11 MLS team, pretty decent acheivement for him.
I'm not upset we got rid of him because Alan Gordon has been very good (when not injured).
What is your point? What's actually funnier is the amount of players who leave and never kick a football again. There's a lot more of them.Quote:

Somebody brought up a good point on the V's board.
Of the foreign players TFC has introduced to MLS, how many have actually stuck to the league after leaving TFC? Andrew Boyens is the only one I can think of. Just goes to show you how bad our scouting has been over the years.
I think if we were actually to compile a list of this the numbers might be rather shocking.
Mo "scouting" (besides his Christmas "scouting" trips to Brazil) was just to phone up player agent Barry MacLean. It's not shocking at all that they didn't work out.Quote:

TFC and Done:
- Rohan Ricketts
- Laurent Robert
- Andy Welsh
- Jarrod Smith
- Kenny Stamatopoulos
- Miguel Canzalez

Moved on to other MLS teams
- Carl Robinson

Doesn’t really fit any category but would technically be on he list:
- Ali Gerba (went to USL but will probably be back in MLS next year)
- Jim Brennan (played for TFC until retirement)
- Danny Dichio (played for TFC until retirement)
*considered to be the best player in the Peruvian League during the 2010 season (lol!)
^ Cool List.
Is that for real about Vitti? If so, good for him! I mean Peru isn't exactly the giant of SA but they did alright as a country last time I saw them play in last September's match.
I loved Labrocca as well, but it wasn't a get rid of situation with him....personal reasons and he came to the team to see what they could do to move him....getting Gordon in return wasn't a bad trade off though.Quote:

If you guessed DeRo, incorrect.
Congrats to Nick Labrocca.

I don't care who's come and gone, I just want stability. I don't care if we win or lose, I just want someone to love. I'm at the point now where I hardly have any attachment to this club. The names on the shirts and on the office doors change so often.Quote:

I think the only player I truly regret us losing is Guevara. I wish he was still here. Anyone else ? Meh.
* you forgot K. Elkinson. He was Bermudian, (UK) so not North American ;)Quote:

Hard to have an attachment to a team when its a turnstile like this.
Love all the new signings we made recently, they all interview well and seem like good characters which is a really good thing but can we keep a core of players for a few years PLEASE?
