Hmmm... another player scared away by turf?
Well if we do get DeGuzman, this becomes a non-issue.
Looks like Terry Cooke's days at Denver is over. He's been marginalized this season by new Crapids coach Smith
phenomenal crosser. I'd love to see him in Toronto

And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

I've always been impressed with him, and always baffled as to why he wasn't a starter on that team. He had a goal and 12 assists last year, not holding down a consistent position on the starting XI (either with Clavijo or Smith).Originally Posted by Yohan
apparently he's not fast enough for type of game Crapids play now

Perfect for us then!
Good call Yohan. I'll agree with you, I'd like to see him in TFC red too. I think that one of our biggest weaknesses is that we don't have someone who specifically plays out wide in attack and who can deliver consistent quality crosses:
http://view-from-the-couch.blogspot....orcements.htmlDiz would obviously give us much needed depth up front, while Smith seems to be a replacement for Terry Cooke who has reportedly been asked, and agreed, to not have his contract guaranteed until September instead of on the July 1st date all other MLS contracts are guaranteed on. Smith is reportedly a winger who likes to cut inside and go to goal, so a right-sided version of Colin Clark. As we all know, Cooke likes to stay outside and whip crosses in, so its obviously a shift in playing styles. I'm not sure if replacing Cooke is a great idea, but maybe Smith is an upgrade.
Dont think we needed him. Much better out tehre.
Thank god Smith decided not to play for TFC.

Terry Cook would be an excellent signing. Good winger, delivers one of the better balls in MLS
How dare anyone named J Smith not begin their MLS career at TFC?

+1.
Man is good quality, and could be useful? I'm sufficiently impressed...
Jamie Smith is a bust just waiting to happen -- and TBH so far how many people allegedly "scared off" by the BMO turf have really bust it up in MLS?
Huckerby - absent
O'Brien - gone
Anyone care to keep going?

Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.
(I think?)
^This comment reminds me of the threads on turf in 2007, which ran 90% along these lines.
There are a ton of players who haven't come because of the surface, but most haven't said it publicly.
