Number 8 is a proper midfield football number. Not that MLS takes those things into consideration though. But maybe it was his or BB way of showing the intent for him to be an eventual starter?
...

Second half squad seems to be able to penetrate that final 1/3 a little bit better. They move a lot quicker than that first half squad.

We haven't signed him have we?

who is the kid playing RB? His reaction and decision making is too slow.

mavinga as well. taking too long to make decisions out the back.

I agree with this. Both guys can't drive the net for shit. They are not wingbacks.

The Shaffelburg transformation to a wingback is interesting and I'm feeling positive about that one. I think his...

I'm not concerned but that could be because my expectations for this team are low. I would expect for the most part that we play some nice tidy football, but we'll lose games due to defensive errors...

This is my concern as well - My hope is they are getting in guys who they know will work for this year as starters. That gets Bob The Builder another window or two to either develop replacements or...

I don't know about the other things you posted, but this was true. TFC (and columbus crew the following year) held open tryouts at BMO field.
I don't remember the cost - but both of those numbers...

Ya I agree with you for sure. Just don't think a good striker needs to be a DP - could be a TAM player or even a player going into their prime that is maybe on the high end of MLS Max Budget but i...

With MLS MVP Poz and Insigne delivering balls into the box - we shouldn't need a DP striker. Just someone who can put those into the net

All good points. Don't disagree with any of them.

I was hoping that Lawrence was a Morrow type - just a bit more advancing. But as I mentioned before, I don't really know his full potential...

Even though is was heavily hinted at during the season ending presser, the Richie transfer was a huge blow for me. The runs that guy makes for both club and country would do so well in our...

With the number of smaller attacking players we have (insigne, Gio, poz, Oso)I don't think we will be relying on crosses into the box the way we used to. Those high arching balls into the box looking...

Based on what we have right now, this feels good.

When you add Gio + Insigne + JMR to our current mix, I wonder if we end up with 2 different attacking looks to our lineup - each with a...

This seems to make the most sense and will probably be what they run with.

The only hiccup I have is having Priso as a secondary option in that spot.
MB4 has deficiencies and Priso seemed to be...

Is that because of the Yedlin / Miami deal?

(NM found my answer - yes it is. I forget he was with the sounders way back when)

I've enjoy listening to his pressers. Just hearing him speak about what they working on in training gives us such a clear picture on how they plan on playing this year. The fundamentals seem sound,...

This scenario kills two birds with one stone. You get rid of a DP that doesn't fit and you bring in a starting CB. Mistakes cost you and we are seeing the mistake of signing Soteldo being corrected. ...

I'm floored by the amount of confusion there is behind getting a CB as a DP.
The type of CB we need doesn't just appear on the market in abundance. Even at the most Elite levels of football,...

Im with you on this. I don't believe a DP needs to be a goal scorer.

A DP needs to be a game changer - and we have seen that a quality/capable CB leader is a game changer.

I don't know if...

oh shit. Didn't even realize Oso wasn't there.

Ya this is a full on rebuild. I don't expect this roster to be close to complete until the start of 2023 season.

We'll be able to field a lineup that can play Bob's system to start 2022 - and the...

or according to the website legend - he could also be a TFC 2 player LMAO

Was a great player in years past - but there has been a decline in his play, especially while at Inter.

As much as I like a player of this recognition coming to TFC, I'd prefer we aimed our...

if he can stay healthy and actually play a full seasons there is no doubt he can score 25.
