It's a trick question!

I don't tweet but, if I did, I'd re-tweet that!

Good column from Red Nation on this question - http://www.rednationonline.ca/articles2012/performancenotsellonvaluekeyforurruti.aspx

Bang on. That's exactly how long I lasted and what I'd need to get back in.

Pretty sure TFC's attempts at Forlan preceded Lieweke's arrival.

On balance, I'm okay with the move even if I'm not all that enamored of Lieweke and think the firing was too fast. I credit Payne with leaving a team that doesn't need to be blown up. We've got some...

Great situation to see what those two can do.

I'd love to see them bring Urruti on when they're actually moving forward and getting some action in the top third.

Agreed. But with Payne in particular, I worry if he's not talking, then things must be real bad :)

My concern is that Payne and, to a lesser extent Nelsen, have basically said - on more than one occasion - that they had specific people in mind and were about to sign them. People who, depending on...

That's a distressing pictures - we can't sign 'em or the league won't let us. Kinda makes us the anti-Mounties!

Was "the highest paid player in the league" the same as the second of the two "DP calibre" attackers who would shape the team for years to come?

I was thinking about getting back on board after six years with season tickets and this year off. Went to the Seattle game and was planning on more, but Payne and Nelsen's post-window comments jumped...

Hard to say what's less funny, "Ron Berg" tweets or player sightings at BMO.

Made no sense to keep Brockie in - he wasn't particularly effective and we didn't owe him anything. Good action was happening and it would have been a better time to bring in Urruti than when we were...

Easy to say when you've just been coaching Real Madrid.

Good point. A well-known name and winning games aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. It's all part of getting the right player (although Lieweke makes me nervous).

I don't see any particularly captain-y material in that list. I predict it will be someone we have yet to acquire.

I had tickets for the first six years but dropped off early last year - bad soccer and changing life circumstances meant empty seats. I don't regret the decision because I know that when I want to...

To be fair, MLS is not the NHL of soccer, English Premiership is hardly Switzerland and Nelsen has played in MLS and knows the league. Mixed results so far but it may work out.

Zero attacking quality. If we at least had a strong attacking mid and another really good striker our poor defending wouldn't be so constantly exposed. We just have no clue what to do going forward.

I'm sure Forlan is still in their sights. At least, Attfield in the Globe seems to think so, saying today that a deal has "thus far failed to come to fruition." :)

Whereas I, on the other hand, proclaim Urruti a beast.

Kinda weird that this is even a discussion - everyone is on the same page re Koevs.

I got a message on my smartphone from TFC making it official. Here's hoping!
