Then there is the fact that kids want a shot at Europe, and they don’t see TFC providing that to their young players, they see the exact opposite. Guys getting sold to Orlando and Colorado without having a say in where they go.
The best players here, and their parents, will have learned from the World Cup and TFC roster construction that they should do anything BUT come to TFC.
TFC Academy is a complete failure, starting with their decision to operate in opposition to Sigma, and probably needs a total rethink.
