I've noticed that veteran players who thrive at TFC and in Toronto are hardcore family guys. But maybe that's just me cherry picking to strengthen the narrative.

Based on an insignificant number of cases - Belgian League seems like a place to get decent starters with the occasional TAM / DP's to be had.

I agree with the right players around him he'd be an excellent MLS player. Top 15 player for sure.

BUT IMO - he's not a good fit for this team or this city. He'd be better suited in the more...

If you've ever tried coaching really young kids, you'd know it's less about soccer and more about fun. Even older kids like U10-U12 are still learning fundamentals of the game. I don't think a player...

Seba isn't a coach. Just like Dero isn't a coach.
It would be an ambassador role at most.

It makes sense to start the kids. We have to stop going out and buying the Deleon's and Mullins type players.
We also can't rely on buying players for every need - some of these have to come from...

Yes - my point is our woes are primarily coaching. If this season isn't an indication of how the wrong person can upset a club and a simple switch can stabilize it, then I don't know what is.
...

ya you are right about Auro - I was thinking about when he actually became official. Still - here during Manning's time.

Also - yes Bez secured TFC2 in USL - something that needed to happen -...

The only manger change Seattle has ever made was when they moved from Sigi to Smetzer (all of their finals runs were with Smetzer).

That has been TFC's downfall IMO - The management changed and...

You clearly have no memory of how this team was built before he got here vs after he arrived. He didn't inherit a great team, he inherited a team that has some flashy pieces and no substance,...

To your first question - Very difficult. You need someone who can manage the cap properly to be able to pivot when needed and not lock your lineup for 2+ years.

To your second point - I agree,...

Sorry where was it confirmed that it was Manning over there alone? or at all?

The last thing I read was it was MLS/TFC executives.

Also he/they could've been over there to talk about other...

Insigne to Man Utd is never happening. That's not what they need at this point.

I'm with Jloome in that their name was used as bait to set a price.

You know what comes after Defore 2.0 right?

IT'S SEBBBBBAAAAAAAAAA 2.0!!!!

A lot of other big teams in the mix as well. Nice to see we are at the table with a player like him. I assume it would be a 3 year contract max? He'd be 31 by the time he came here (34 on his way out)

I don't think Herdman does either. In his post game interview he even commented on the fact that David and Larin need someone to play off of (I think he was talking about them playing off each other)

He been promoted to "Soteldo's Uber Driver"

Lawrence isn't moving to CB. people need to get this out of their head. That would be a huge waste of talent and would be a lazy move by FO instead of going and finding proper CB's

To your second...

Lawrence was the answer to Morrow's decline. So I'd call BS on that one.

Ya I won't argue that. His next deal won't be TAM. What was Cheyrou on? something like that maybe

You don't need Bradley to retire. He's still very valuable - as seen from the last Canadian Championship match.

It always makes me happy when I hear shit like this. It means we're doing something right in this city.

I didn't say he was a sub for them. Both Soteldo and Poz would be doing all the work and feeding the ball into the box - where Seba will be operating.
he's not making big runs...his runs are going...

Seba is a great player, but I don't think he's the type of player who can make that adjustment.

IMO - Bringing in Seba is an attempt to recreate the full package "2015 Seba" by combining the...

How does that work in MLS? I ask because MLS rules can be fucked sometimes. Is it as straightforward as We buy the contract out, we can then get another DP without any cap issues?

UPDATE - I FOUND...
