TFC Wants Hemming Back?
Just heard thru the TFC-vine that TFC is trying to sign-back Hemming. Can anyone out there confirm this?
ahaha..where did he even go....ddint know he was let go
Interesting, I wonder what this means in terms of Maurice Edu transfering? or Harmse remaining on the team. Hemming left because he didn't want to go back on a development contract. We don't have a free senior spot as Jarrod Smith took it (and instantly rewarded us with a lot of running a zero skill and finish). Sorry, I don't think I can watch MLS until after the euros. That wasn't even soccer....its was painful to watch
hahahaha...so true.Originally Posted by DigzTFC!
EDIT: I hope TFC can get him back and move Smith back to development roster.

I never understood why we got rid of Hemming....
A lot of people were excited about the guy. Myself included.
It felt like a dream. did it really happen?
It was either he wanted more money & playing time or Mo try to low ball him by offering him less money (like $ 12,000; Hemming was making $17,000 before)
If that's the case then MO is a COMPLETE IDIOT.... The fact that he is an Idiot is nothing new, but this would put him in a higher idiot rank...
I think he was on trial in Sweden....Djurgardens if I am not mistaken.

the truth was that to sign Tebily they had to move somebody from the senior roster down -- that unlucky soul was Lombardo. So they put Lombardo on Senior Dev. But that required (apparently a league rule) that somebody on senior dev had to be bumped down to dev.
So the unlucky guy was TYler Hemming. Hemming was unwilling to accept to move down to development and that forced Mo's hand to release him.
Now that Smith (who was on senior dev) has moved up to the senior roster, that type of spot that Hemming held is open again.

You're kidding right? Smith has been the life of the team when he's on. Makes hard challenges, creates chances and is always hustling. IMO he's much better than Hemming and I'd much rather spend more money on a quality player, than another so-so up and coming player.
wow you still cant admit how wrong you are about Mo? The guy brings in top quality players, makes incredible draft picks and brought in a top quality coach and training staff and you're still complaining?
He hasn't stopped since I've seen him on the boards, nothing new.
I'll take Hemming back in a heart beat. Get rid of Harmse. But demote Smith for Hemming? that just makes no sense.
fo sho! The best examples of that was last 2 games.
Don't get me wrong, he was good beginning of the season, but now he is starting to fall off.
There's no way TFC can demote Harmse. I highly doubt TFC will cut a Canadian due to our roster restrictions. That why I said Smith will be demote to make room for Hemming.
You are crazy if you think Hemming deserves a senior spot over Smith. This is coming from a Hemming fan who didn't stop bitching when he was let go.
He's been signed.....just the word I've heard...nudge nudge. wink wink.
Hemming signed by TFC?
Deserve? It's more about Hemming wants more money and playing time. So TFC might grant him his wish.

We JUST promoted Smith to Senior roster last week. My god MO would be a moron to demote him now.
Smith is only player on senior roster (I highly doubt Wynne or Edu will be demoted) can be moved to development roster due to age restrictions.
Do you have a clue at what roster-level he's been re-signed at? When he left he was at the SD/$17k level (and Mo wanted him to go down to the D/$12k level). Any info you (or anyone has) would be much appreciated.
Yes effort! hustle! hard work! Not to be too synical but those are the last qualities i'm looking for in a striker.
Effectiveness is the name of the game.
yes smith works hard..but he can't hit the side of a barn....
get the kid back... loved him!
I Hope Hemming comes back, I thought he was a decent player, nothing fancy about his game, You can tell he needs a little bit more expierence to develop his game. I think TFC is best option for him.
$12K a year?
Suggestion for the next pool: Would you play professional soccer for $6/hour?
Personally, I liked Hemming more than Smith. But they are different types of players.
Smith is highly overrated. What is his finishing rate? I've seen him miss too many sitters to think he is quality. Yeah he hustles, but at best he is a sub. But comparing the two, Hemming and Smith is like apples and oranges.
Hemming is a Canadian boy, with tremendous upside. He can cross the ball well and plays smart football. Like most Canadians he likely will develop at this age than when most other players do. I saw him as replacing Robbo or Edu. Maybe not with the offensive acumen, but as a good steady player.
Mo is building a quality team....we don;'t need hemming back...let him go to the USL!!
I'd much rather have Poz back..
