    It'll all come down to the last game or two of the season again.

    given our depth, I'm hoping its more like a few mid-level signings

    what the fuck. this makes no sense

    unless Conway has a mystic Canadian residency papers that I dont know about, exactly what does Conway bring that Edwards doesn't, except more MLS experience and wacky goalkeeping?

    Why didn't this occur to me before? The obvious solution to all our problems/needs coming into this season was to load up on Colorado Rapids MFs.

    You don't say. But to this extent, this late? It's the magnitude of the moves we've been making, particularly on the exit side, that has been unusual.

    We sat idle while everyone shuffled in the offseason, so maybe this can be seen as catch-up.

    with a new coach, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and its better sooner so they have time to gel for the end of season

    Sad to see Wynne go, but it was easy to see that coming.

    Edwards is garbage. He is a dime-a-dozen lifelong MLS GK.

    Oh for sure, sooner is better.

    It was great to sign Preki last November, but of course, MLSE wasn't going to spend a dime as long as there was the possibility of a strike or a lockout - again we shouldn't be surprised.

    Conway has the potential to be an upgrade over Edwards if he signs with TFC...

    I wish I knew the inner-scoop about the CBA's affects on the ability to get players etc.

    just how much of an upgrade do you need in a back up keeper when your back up keeper is already good enough for MLS?

    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.
    Agreed. I'm sure another defender will be added to the roster before Saturday...

    Meh. Edwards is expendable and would have played maybe 1-2 games barring an injury to Frei anyway...

    Trade smells smart to me. Labrocca can play wide left, left back, two-way mid....

    He's a prototypical MLS player, a workhorse engine that doesn't quit. So that,. right there, is something we need.

    I don't think the Edwards move is to save money, I just don't think Preki has any confidence in him when he knows Conway is a dependable keeper.

    This is roster-building stuff. It's good. It should've happened weeks ago, and it still doesn't solve our striker situation (shamless related column plug : http://www.rednationonline.ca/The_So...0_column.shtml) but it's something.

    I'm with flats - Preki is the MLS head coach with a solid record of making the playoffs, not me.

    None of the moves this team has made appear to make a whole lot of sense, considering how threadbare our roster is. I'm just going to have faith that Preki knows what he is doing.

    Even Mo, while he has done some highly questionable things, has never been THIS seemingly erratic. I have to assume there is either some sort of plan, or Preki has more faith in some of these lesser knowns and trialists than we do.

    I am not shocked that Wynne has been moved. I am shocked that his stock dropped to the point that this Colorado kid was all that we could get in return.

    This is a day far removed from Wynne playing in the Beijing Olympics and being on the subs bench for the Confederations Cup.

    At the end of season two I thought he was poised for a breakout. He was in great form then and I thought he would be the next to follow Edu overseas.

    How the mighty have fallen. Good luck Marvell in Colorado. Vya Con Dios.

    For about twice the salary too, since he'll fall under the new CBA rules.

    my understanding is that LaBrocca is primarily a DM who can play other positions.

    well good. we need guys like him.

    maybe i'm just disappointed that we can't get any better players than LaBrocca for Wynne.

    Wynne's stock has certainly dropped, but I think that the obvious desparation state that TFC is in also played a factor. Colorado knew they could lowball slightly.

    Conway actually made slightly less than Edwards last year in salary...

    TFC is making moves that would otherwise be done by a team completely rebuilding instead of looking to make the playoffs this year.

    On that note, I'm glad Wynne is fucking gone. Maybe the extra air will get his crosses to go higher than shin level. On the other hand, we got pennies in return.
