True enough. Ibarra was short lived and relatively inexpensive. A sign of all of our signings since the disaster of Bob is that they’ve been made on the cheap. Yes, Hernandez, on his own, made some...

What a can of worms (on an artificial pitch) Ibarra has opened!

I can’t help mentioning Mista (because it’s Mista) - similar to Ibarra in that he had no interest in being here, at least after one...

I’d love to see Insigne on the pitch if he’s ready to go.

As a few people on this board have pointed out, this home stand is important. As for this match, if we lose it, other results should go...

I have no idea if it’s so… but I like it very much. Much more of it had come off. Even more if he forces a trade to us.

On Herdman after the match:

“Razzaghi’s counterpart John Herdman also heaped loads of praise on the Saint-Laurent players and staff after the match, and following the full time whistle stood at...

Although my initial sense of the first match of this competition was that we were dressing a few too many senior players, it now seems like the right move - on a few levels. Not sure about Bernie on...

Nice piece in The Gazette about our opponent.

We’re up to 9th in the MLS power rankings.

“Even if you, like me, are skeptical of Toronto’s ability to keep earning results, some of their underlying numbers suggest their early-season success...

Sounds about right.

True enough… with the exception of Oluwaseyi, raised in Mississauga, totally overlooked by our academy and chosen 17th by the Loons. He’s on 5 goals and 2 assists in limited minutes this season.
...

I liked Hernandez’ unequivocal decision to keep the high draft pick. Of course, our woeful draft record has been at times countered by our willingness to spend. Without being able to spend, keeping...

After missing some of the preseason and all of the first three matches he’s not played much. A half or more only a few times and never a full match. He probably just needs to play more.

At least...

And who had by far the best DP on the field? Bernie looked his wage-bill. If he can keep this up when Insigne returns we might return to some of that early promise. At least in being really good to...

Fantastic!

Dallas didn’t look much more than a point a game side and not sure why they didn’t have Arriola, Feirerra and Musa playing together in her 2nd half but we certainly deserved the win....

Think we saw why Coello is a six and not an eight. We lost his passing and field awareness when he came out. Although he should probably always play next to Flores.

It wouldn’t surprise me if a lower division took a flyer on him. Somewhere with less restricted and compartmentalized roster and budget regulations. But man, 6 1/2 years is a long time… he doesn’t...

It does seem Herdman knows well that he’s not playing Oso in his best position… I expect that to change when Insigne is back.

I was not a complainer about Delgado and thought his strengths...

Mark(y) was a special one and still is, clearly. Longstaff, so far, hasn’t shown the cultured qualities that Herdman has seen in him. Here’s hoping the midfield is still very much a work in progress.

Director of Corporate Development! He had been our captain, however.

Jesus as (sort of) Insigne:

It seems Herdman and Co. are truly serious about motivational speeches. A 24 year old striker with mobility issues and zero confidence… who’s scored twice in his last 45 appearances. Not sure, alas,...

Not sure about Korea… seems a bit ambitious given the only two North Americans to play there were Mix Diskerud (owned by Man City) and Donell (a Whitecaps starter and not long off Blackburn) and...

Intelligent stuff.

As for the Dallas match, first time Feirerra and Arriola will have played together all season. That could be trouble in itself.

True but he’s only 24… if he wants not to retire he’s pretty much got to sign with someone else. I can’t see an MLS club signing him for much above the minimum, but I could see someone doing that. I...

I expect him to get a chance at RCB at least until O’Neil’s return in June/July. CDN Championship, and late sub or even starting in MLS when Herdman feels he can handle a particular opposition. He is...
