labrocca is not that bad,young kid with some skill(cheap)
saying that i hope we got some alo coming back also
How much was Edwards salary? Not much if I recall. That was the whole reason he was more "valuable" than Sutts.
If Edwards was cut, we are going to be in real trouble. Just a feeling I have.
Edit:
Right after posting this Wileman tweets that ex-Chivas GK John Conway is training in Oakville with the team.

Umm... who is backup keeper?
yeah my annoyance with Mo is getting better with me
LaBrocca has taken a while, but is developing into an ok utility mid. don't expect a world beater from this trade lol
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

From his bio on the Rapids site: http://www.coloradorapids.com/team/P...io.aspx?PID=97
Bio:
Nick LaBrocca has played in more games and in more minutes than any other Rapids player since 2008. His contributions and consistency on the field have made him the most versatile player on the roster. In 2009, LaBrocca started at all four midfield positions as well as playing a substitute role at left back.
ok...so nana is our right back now.
WHO ARE THE OTHER 3 DEFENDERS....O M G
Losing Wynne isn't terrible.
I admit he was fun to watch.
All those long runs up the side, weaving through traffic... then losing the ball, or crossing to nobody.
He was good at running back to catch an opposing forward when caught out of position.
But other defenders would perhaps stay in position and not need to run back to stop the attack.
i sure fucking hope so.. thats the only way I can see this coming out good.
just dollars . . .

Mo is in desparation crisis mode.
He's traded away the only player left on our club (outside of Dero and JDG) with any tradable value. I will agree that Wynne's stock has dropped since he first came to Toronto, but this doesn't smell of a savy trade. It's the last move of a chess piece to protect the king.
As far as Edwards goes. That's a shame. On one hand, you can't be spending decent cash on a backup keeper. At the same time, if Frei leaves for Europe, we're F'd.
These moves (on first look) get 3/10 from me.
That's my question...I think that it would be hard to find someone as good as Edwards, for less than what Edwards makes. I guess there's no worries of Frei going to Europe any time soon...
makes sense to move Marvell. Thanks, Marvell - always a class act.
Now, there had better be a domino effect in terms of incoming players including a back up keeper, CB and a striker.
Sorry...forgot which club I was talking about there...2 more draft picks and allocation money no doubt
looks like the u-sec poster was rightsportsnetsoccer
Looks like MD Nick Labrocca comes to Toronto for Wynne. More movement to come.
say it ain't so
I bet one of those trial keepers is coming in. Not unhappy to see Wynne go, he was ok, but wasn't improving enough IMO. Not the best trade, but this could be some Preki magic in the making...
Rollins on edwards
It's also being suggested that Brian Edwards has been cut to make salary room (and will probably become a pool keeper assigned to Toronto before the end of the day. Oh, those wacky MLS salary shifts!).
maybe adam street...that would open up another import spot...
thats way to easy...
This is amazing. Two days before Game 1, and they're still chopping the roster. Here's hoping (but doubting) that no mistakes get made given the haste.
100% correct. He's a great athlete but not much of a footballer. He never really improved his defensive positioning or crossing in the 3 years he was here.
As a coach you see someone like him and just get googly eyes thinking of all the possibilities. Though those dreams never come to fruition.

Goalkeeper John Conway training with @torontofc in Oakville today. Was released by Chivas earlier this week. </SPAN>
i will say it again....O M G
ok, so this doesn't seem so bad afterall.
Wynne for Labrocca is reasonable and it seems we have some decent backups lined up to replace Edwards.
Could Mo be making cap room for a big signing?
Just curious, are there actually 11 healthy players to start on Saturday? no barrett, no Jacobson, no gomez I think. with this trade that still leaves us with what 14 health players?
Wynne isn't shocking
Edwards is somewhat, Quality goalkeeper to say the least. It's a tough spot to be in, both Stefan and Brian have great futures ahead of them. Who's the back up now though (NVM, Conway...Hmm, I can deal withat)
This has to be what Molinaro hinted at...
Best Wishes Marvell / Brian, Thanks for your contributions!!!
