Speculation is getting really weird about now...

TAM will not be increased. MLS agreement with the players union is to gradually phase out TAM. Next CBA players will insist on it being gone in favour of GAM.

Could be Manning, could be Bob, could be Kamal himself. Sometimes an employee checks out at work (I think that's now called "quiet quitting" :lol: ) for whatever reason but is happier in a different...

Thinking about it a "cap" issue would explain the slowness in getting a third DP. It's quite possible that the cap hit portion of the DP salary might put them over. Similarly if Curtis left the team...

I don't think that's a crackpot idea at all. I often wish we could see what salary budget "cap" space in reality each MLS team has.

I was lukewarm to BB's hiring, not sure if his methods work any more, but still think we need to play this through. He had one decent year in LA at least, it's possible with MLSE cash that he could...

Agreed.

Basically the bige difference between a Vanney and a BB is Vanney works on flexibility and adjusting to the players he has and his opponent. His greatest example was shocking Seattle in...

I feel the same. From the cradle is right, he's one of us, started as a kid in the stands supporting TFC. An excellent player and person. It would be great to have him stay with us.

It turns out Osorio has a neurological condition sort of like a concussion coming from a blow that also misaligned his jaw.

91st percentile for passes completed. 89th percentile for goal creating opportunities by dribbling. 87th percentile for possession touches. 89th percentile for passes received (percentage). 89th...

John Molinaro's conclusion, not mine. Call it simplistic if you like, it's all in the interpretation. He isn't among the best in absolutely every area.



That's why I said he needs an...

MB isn't the 2017 MB, not even close, but his stats are still among the best for midfielders in the league. John Molinaro did a piece on that recently if you are a subscriber.

Sure we need an...

Maybe we can't blame Conway then, since Bono hasn't regressed since losing Moore. He's been consistently quite bad. I didn't realize how much so.

That's a reasonable standard. Given that BB works by getting players that play his system (rather than adjust his system to who he has), his actions as technical director are critical to this team. ...

OK, let's get this thread back on topic.

:topic:

I noticed that Robbo has his son signed with the TFC Academy. Has anyone been following this?

My read as well. I asked him for his source because his comment was designed to raise emotions on the board. Which it clearly did.

Source?

Sometimes when a player isn't performing 100% it's due to things we can't possibly know.

In the past they did identify individuals in South America and in Canada who were "scouts," but it's unsure whether they were employees or consultants or what. Also whether that's still the case is...

As much as we would like Manning to be 100% on the TFC file, he mostly delegates it because MLSE wants him to devote his time to trying to keep the Argos solvent. He's not really spending his time...

It won't be Laryea, he has eyes on England, and there's a good chance that he could be sold to a Championship team. He's only here for the minutes right now to prepare for the WC.

Eustaquio is a...

Agree with most of what you said but disagree with that last point. A new club can be built in 2 seasons but bad contracts can weigh down an established team for longer than that. Each club's...

:lol:



My take is that Bono will not be TFC's #1 Keeper next year, if he's here as backup, it will be with a huge reduction. Although Bono will be eligible to be a free agent next year he's...

Please don't talk about broadcasters in the roster thread. People get upset when they look here for news and then find random discussions. I've deleted the off-topic items.
