10 goals in 24 games is pretty good in a top League 1 side.

It's not meant to be a rumour. Rather, a discussion on whether this player would be a good target for TFC. As he's Canadian -- and has played in Toronto before (for the Lynx) -- there is a natural connection, which makes it a relevant topic for this forum.
I would love to see Gerba in a TFC jersey. He has a good track record of scoring goals for Team Canada. Being released, perhaps they can work something out for him, and if they have to trade for his rights we can always offer Ricketts or our other seldom used midfielder, can't remember his name since we only saw him the last game for a bit of fill in time.
Just remembered his name j smith.
One small problem. San Jose.
Would love to see him of TFC.
so its confirmed then SJ has his rights?
There was a discussion on whether or not he would be a good target for us, but if we deicde to attempt to get him (i don't think it will happen) we are gunna be screwed soon enough if we attempt to field a completely Canadian international team. As Mitchell is gone from the national team, there is a chance all our guys will go back and play.....
Which means Gerba, DeRo, Brennan, Serioux, Sutton all gone. Not that Sutton has been getting much playing time
I don't think we can offer him enough to play here (plus we don't have grass)
CMNT call ups would decimate us.
Understood but the priority should be Country before Club. I for one want to see as many examples of good Canadian talent on the best team in the land.There was a discussion on whether or not he would be a good target for us, but if we deicde to attempt to get him (i don't think it will happen) we are gunna be screwed soon enough if we attempt to field a completely Canadian international team.

Regardless, he should end up here eventually if he wants to play in front of his countrymen every week.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
agreed...
we need players with no current ties to any national team.
All call ups kills us. I hate this mindset we have to adopt to succeed we need players that can't play for their home country. Ridiculous.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
He has a good strike rate, I never understand why he does not stick with team for long.
I disagree......I would rather have top Canadian talent playing for TFC. If that means a crapload off on International duty...so be it. The team is here to develop Canadians to an extent, and offer them an outlet for playing. Gerba has a great strike rate and would be a welcome addition.....
We can only hope that Garber could align the schedule to fit more with the International schedule. I don't think we should stay away from domestic players because we are worried about losing them for CMNT duty....just my 2 cents....

+ .02
anybody want to make it a nickel's worth?

+ .01, just to make it a nickel.
I never said I didn't think we should persue him.
I merely stated that CMNT are going to decimate us. Can you really argue that?
Stryker is right though, unfortunately, it is a reality that we have to think about what players we get based on whether they will leave us for international duty. Ali doesn't seem to stick with any teams, plus he's a regular on the CMNT. I think we can do without him. Oh, and he sure as heck ain't worth DP money and I'd like to see us spend some big bucks on a striker.
Of course I can't argue that......we all saw what happened last season with the WC qualifiers......but you will get that for every nation. If TFC decides to persue these higher caliber Natinal players they will obviously have to have the depth to withstand the blow. Luckily right now we have alot of quality younsters who are proving worthy of starts.
I know what you mean though, but if you foster a team where alot of the Canadian talent wants to come to play, it can only encourage more players to eventually come......JDG perhaps....

LOL @ Brennan being called up.
Which means Gerba, DeRo, Brennan, Serioux, Sutton all gone. Not that Sutton has been getting much playing time
Anyway, I would welcome Ali G to the team.
I don't think I would want to pay him DP money as well....which is probably what it may come down to, but who knows.....With DeRo, Serioux, Brennan, Sutton...etc....maybe he can be convinced. who doesn't want to play in front of your country fans night in and night out!
