MLS Draft - Teal Bunbury?
This thread is more to do with one interesting player that could make the jump to MLS or overseas. Alex Bunbury's kid.......Teal Bunbury.
We don't have any picks the first round, but another Canadian kid that we could use? Yes? No?

OH man I used to love watching Alex Bunbury play for the Blizzards. Had no idea he had a kid.
Andrew Bulls to New York?
Do we have any players who can net TFC a 1st rounder? Is this year's draft strong or weak? I guess its too early to figure out. That's what happens when you miss the playoffs.....you already focused on the expansion draft, mls superdraft, etc........haha!!
Dear God not someone related to that guy. Worst finisher I have ever seen. Well...after Lombardo.
^^
Really?
I guess you never saw him play in Portugal. At one point when he was playing for Maritimo, Juventus was looking at signing him.
He played with them for 6 years and he's still the club's all-time leading scorer.
He is leading scorer on the top team in the nation, and we have no 1st round draft picks, and we drafted White last year. Alex was one of my favourites, and I wouldn't complain getting such a quality player, I just dont think its feasible.

I say we trade stuff for a first rounder. Wynne, or maybe trade Garcia, Barrett and a Mo Johnston press conference tape on how to blame your fans for bad results.
No freaking way! What video is that!!!Originally Posted by TFCtoMUFC
I haven't seen that one, but if that's true....oh boy...
Teal Bunbury?
Is that some kind of new colour? like a greenish brown?

TFC tends to have decent luck with Canadian Born players , with the exception of Guys like Lombardo, Reda, so why not take a shot at at Bunbary if he is available..
And Gerba, Harmse etc ... I don't think our luck with Canadian players is above average ... there have been just as many Canadian failures on our team as international ones.
There are two Canadians ripping up the NCAA.
Teal Bunbury and Michael Nonni. If Teal signs a Gen Adidas contract at the end of the season, Mo will find a way to get him. In my opinion we have assets that we can trade. Marvell Wynne comes to mind.
While I'll get some flack for that comment, I truly believe Marvell isn't good enough at the right back or wing position. He's an in between player. With 4 years in the league he has not progressed in his positioning or crossing. I think it best to trade him while he can still rely on his athleticism.
Anyone know if Hunter Freeman may be on his way back to MLS? Maybe get a shot at him?
Completely agree. Get Wynne out now while we can still dupe another team. His stock isn't going to get any higher.
That was a shot at the FAN 590 interview with Mo. He essentially said we ragged on Cunningham and Buddle so they didnt play well.

No, he's starting in Europe, and being paid well more. Unlikely.
Teal Bunbury has a very large & obvious trail of MLS scouts watching him. Every MLS club has him on the short list. And yes, MLS has targeted him for a Gen A deal. He's also a Hermann candidate.
Bunbury is also collecting numerous POTW awards, i.e. TopDrawer, CSN. He's sitting with 14 goals in 16 games. The Zip's are 16-0-0 and have been ranked nationally at #1 for a few weeks.
I'm travelling with a couple of friends to Akron on Wednesday. We'll finally get a chance to watch Bunbury and the Zips, hosting Michigan State. I watched the dvd of the Zips vs Penn State over the weekend and he just shreaded Penn State D, scoring twice.
Yuck what a terrible name ... do not want
We expect a full report!
Plus notes on Yoram Mwila

I guess you weren't dissapointed. Teal had another goal in a 2-1 win...
15 goals in 17 games now. At 19 years old...
please TFC
never going to happen, hes definitely going to go to europe or sign else where, especially when all we've got this year is a second rounder (if im not mistaken)
That's some awesome reasoning, there.
I suppose you'd turn down Kaka based on your stellar criteria, right?
Sucks that he didn't get more minutes for Canada u20s. He was stuck behind Edwini-Bonsu, Haber and Porter he only played 6 minutes in qualifiers.
I'll bet he gets a lot more time for the U23s if he isn't in europe
If he is making such an impact this season, the US might take notice, and he was born there.

Are you guys sure we don't have a 1st round draft pick? Check this article from when Ibrahim was traded from Dallas: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...546607&cc=5901
"FC Dallas will acquire Toronto's first-round selection in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft if Ibrahim plays in 10 or more 2009 MLS regular season games..."
"If none of the conditions are met, Dallas will receive Toronto's second-round selection in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft..."
Since Ibbe only played 6 games this season, we should still have that 1st-round pick, but we lose a 2nd-round pick.... I think...?
Yeah I thought that was the reason why we hardly played Ibbe this year. Unless our first pick was involved in a separate transaction (which is unlikely because you can't trade something that may not be yours at season's end)
Oh, he was amazing on a bad team in a second-rate league?
You saw him play for Canada right? Maybe he just couldn't be bothered to perform for the Maple Leaf but lots of draws and losses could have been improved if he could have hit the broadside of a barn with a banjo.
His son sounds awesome though!
I believe he led Maritimo to the top of the league one year (can't remember if they won or not) and was one of the best strikers in the Portugese league for years. Dude, you're just horribly wrong on this one. Go back and check his stats.
The last time I checked (whether due to top team imbalance or not) the Portugese league was still considered better than MLS, and he was a dominant scorer in it for three or four years. He had one shitty MLS season, but it was at Kansas City, and at the very end of his career.
And he's the Canadian team's third leading all-time scorer.
So, if stats say anything, they don't support you this time.
