I think it's a shame that only 2 Canadians are starters for our team
I say sign Atiba Hutchinson the boy can play anywhere in Midfield and as a striker, he is versitile, young, hails from Brampton.
How much can he possibly cost?

Not if it means sacrificing competitive quality.
Sorry, but the CSA sucks, and we should in no way be a feeder team for them.
The ones we would want, we can't have
and the ones we can have, we don't want.

I don't think it's TFC job to stock the national team, I'd rather have a few Canadians playing among internationals at a higher level, than several Canadians playing at a lower level league. We already have that in the USL. Once Vancouver or Montreal are in, we will have a few more Canadians playing at a slightly higher level.
I'm not saying we should be a feeder team, but it would be nice to get a player with heart and soul from our city just like Steve Gerrard for Liverpool.
What are we going to do when our skipper hangs them up?
Yes, but this will take time for more than 2 Canadians to be in the starting 11.
The academy is a 1st step but we need more MLS teams to make it a reality...
We have more english internationals than Arsenal LOL
That's right, it'll take time. It's like we've come in the middle of the game, players are all under contracts that don't suddenly disappear because we got an expansion team.
Like someone said (about something else, but it applies), it's like trying to change a flat tire on a moving car.
Ask this question again in ten years, see where we are then.
hopfully the TFC Academy team will start to produce some proper Canadian talent. Right now, under the old system, most of them are shit.
Ricketts has some under 21 caps too
if there is a good Canadian player in a spot that we need filled, by all means sign him
But it's stupid to sign a Canadian player for the sake of him being Canadian...
Don't we have a domestic player quota?
Canadian players are important for us, so we need to get the best ones possible we we can afford.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Give it time, itll happen, right now its just not a reality
I want to win lots of games. I don't care if our players are from Antarctica.
Parky, you watched Academy play, did they any Canadian kid that stood out?
In the future, MLS going to add more Canadian slots to our roster. Hopefully they increase salary cap as well so we can sign good Canadian players.

WHy do we remotely care how many Canadians we have on our team? We should want and expect the best team possible...one that can win.
If a canadian fits the bill, fantastic. But let's please not make that a priority...
