I felt that Luke looked like the type of player who could be eased into MLS slowly, alongside a real backline leader plus an authoritative keeper, and w/o expecting too much from him at first. I felt...

For sure, lots of hyperbole! I actually stayed off the boards for a bit until after the Orlando game because things were getting to me.

There's a problem with the "everyone" term here. In fact, how much different groups of people post varies a great deal from game to game. If the team is doing OK, you'll hear more from folks that are...

Similar to the points raised above: my general issue with BB is that I don't think inflexibility works in this league. First of all it's extremely difficult to even assemble the "perfect" roster, due...

Oh yes I agree with all of you. I just posted something similar in yesterday's game thread. Maybe I should move it here instead.

Even Vanney had to learn this. I remember he admitted in an...

I agree with almost everything you wrote in this post a few days ago. But in addition, I do believe there has been a widespread problem with many Canadian youth players that went straight to TFC as...

Insigne is 31. I hope he does amazing for years, despite all the crap in this league: artificial turf, crazy weather and elevation, crazy travel schedules, CONCACAFing, lousy refs that let people get...

MB coaching would be another lazy signing, so it's probably gonna happen. How about he gets all his badges, earns his stripes in a couple of spots, before getting coronated?

I really don't understand why some people are so desperate to defend MLSE / TFC / Manning. In some ways, MLSE is a great organization compared to many MLS owners. They have the resources to truly be...

LOL you guys are funny. Ali Curtis was another lazy signing, of a guy Manning knew from the past. And not a "specialist" at anything other than sucking. Plus he had a ton of other duties. No I don't...

What part of the process assures you that these were the very best players in the world available to the team?

BTW I dislike your repeated use of "sobbing" about people who want to discuss if there might be a more effective method than how MLSE operates. BTW I thought Pozuelo was great from the start. They...

I'm saying "what if" about the literally thousands of excellent players who may be available around the world, that a president doesn't know as well as others could because he has a ton of of other...

We have no idea if they got the best DPs they could (or TAM / GAM, whatever), because of their process. I don't think presidents should be doing the initial scan through Transfermarkt, because there...

I was actually hopeful for Salcedo. But I also think it was a way to try to save face on a bad Soteldo deal. Plus I guess they didn't have another buyout available, so they needed to get creative? I...

I'm not "crying" about Auro. Some of the vague rumours bug me, because there are two sides to every story. And if he had to go, I can't believe that in 6 months you can't find a better stopgap RB...

With Nelson, I also see no consequences. Maybe if he knew he has to earn is spot each week, he would wise up. Yes, or maybe not, I'm not sure. I think BB should rotate in some young players from time...

I disagree. I don't think the kids will learn much more than bad habits and broken confidence in the middle of a tire fire. Some of them aren't even playing in their best position. And they just keep...

Only problem is that O'Neill or Nelson or one of the other kids is going to get in the way and block Insigne's beautiful volley... ;)

Especially today I'm actually seeing lots of similarities between TFC and Rogers....

Actually, please, Manning, DO NOT SCOUT A PLAYER. Scout a scout. Be a president.

EDIT -- On second thought -- don't scout a scout either. Find a couple of people who would be really good at...

I agree.

I have lots more to say, but haven't had the time. Many of my concerns will allayed if they find and actually play a guy that makes us less dependent on MB in the future; and/or find a...

But Bernie will be a DP. JJ isn't.

Ya gotta just hope the refs don't speak Italian. Or there would be many yellows for dissent.

Are there any bald Italian players available? They would probably have the best chance of getting an offer from TFC. ;)
