Wynne Traded?

[ManUtd4ever]

The feedback from Colorado supporters on LaBrocca is overwhelmingly positive...

just saw this on the new site:

So we now have 3 former CRapids players. Should help with the unity/confidence level among the locker room I would think.

[flatpicker]

Wait... so did we give them a draft pick along with Wynne, or did we receive a draft pick?
I'm hearing both now.

[Shaughno]

That MLS article indicates a draft pick going to CRapids...

[Parkdale]

I heard YOU were going to get me a sandwich, in exchange for a 3rd round draft pick.

Nice quote on that site

The fast-emerging LaBrocca, who played more minutes than any other Rapid player last season, had a breakout 2009 and was on the verge of the U.S. national team squad.

[Shaughno]

Everything I've read from CRapids fans has been nothing but he's "100 cents on the dollar". Meaning this kid is always going to perform to the level you expect. Something we NEVER had with Wynne.

They seem to be excited about Wynne's pace... but concerned that if Preki can't get anything out of Wynne, they won't be able to either.

Wait, was that a Burrito or a Gyro?
Ah whatever... I'll just get you a Shawarma.

And I will be picking in the 3rd round of what?

[Lucky Strike]

I've read 3 of the 7 pages so far and I wanted to read them all before commenting but I can't help myself.

For Edwards being cut, everyone seems confused but I think I have the explanation as to why. Remember in year 2 when Carver publicly slammed Edwards for a lack of effort? Put that and Preki who likes players who will kill themselves by too much effort and I think it gives you the answer to why Edwards is gone.

While that one instance of Edwards not working enough was it - we never heard anything more on the subject after that - which suggests he improved his effort, perhaps that still wasn't enough given Preki's standards. Thus the cut.

burrito > schwarma > gyro

[crofty]

it does, but the sub title says preki would acquire labrocca and a draft pick. they can't seem to make up their mind...

[Shaughno]

burrito > schwarma > gyro

No... well depending on the burrito.

schwarma>burrito>gyro

it does, but the sub title says preki would acquire labrocca and a draft pick. they can't seem to make up their mind...

yeah every other piece of info seems to indicate WE get the draft pick. Could just be a type on their part.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Okay Labrocca sounds like a good addition. Now who's replacing the defender we just traded?

[Whoop]

Sounds decent.

At the end of the day I just ask that the guys on the pitch play with some passion and effort.

[MartinUtd]

No, people were defending him because people were tearing him a new one saying he was useless and shit.

He's a solid prospect keeper, with good distribution and a good head on his shoulders. Unfortunately he doesn't command his box enough IMO and that's probably mostly down to his size.

Sentimentality aside, do you really think he ads anything to this team that a MLS pool keeper could not?

[felipe]

I'm happy enough - seems we got a hard-working starter for someone who wasn't in the plans;

[Shaughno]

I'm assuming Nana will probably move out to the wing. Harden,Gomez, Garcia working the middle. Jimmy B at LB.

From everything I've heard (both from sources and club interviews) the back line is apparently the best thing we have going right now. Take that for what it's worth... since Wynne didn't feature in that lineup, it's not a surprise he was moved.

Sounds decent.

At the end of the day I just ask that the guys on the pitch play with some passion and effort.

I bet that's exactly why Preki went after him IMO.

Finished reading everything and I'm glad Edwards appears to be at practice. Makes you wonder what Conway is doing there but what the hell, maybe he's secretly also a striker.

It seems TFC PR usually comes out at the end of the day. theres probably a bunch of paperwork to take care of as well.

while we wait for paperwork from TFC....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvell_Wynne_(soccer)

pretty official.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

I'm not gonna slam any of Preki's decisions right now.
He's way more qualified for his job than I am.
I have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

yep im 100% behind this statement

[flatpicker]

I'm not doubting it's official... but you really shouldn't be trusting Wiki for up-to-the-minute news.

Anyone and their dog can update info on Wiki!

[billyfly]

And now we know why the players didn't have names on their jerseys during pre-season.

[Shaughno]

Sentimentality aside, do you really think he ads anything to this team that a MLS pool keeper could not?

I liked Edwards, but I'm not sad to see him go. He can easily be replaced for the amount of minutes he would have gotten IMO.

Especially if we're getting one of Conway/Kocic/Street for cheaper as a backup...

[canadian_bhoy]

So we now have 3 former CRapids players. Should help with the unity/confidence level among the locker room I would think.

And they now have 2 former TFC players one of whom scored 16 goals last season.

Really? I'm not man....there are numerous sources saying it.

I was just trying to be funny with the Wiki thing....but I obviously failed.

[[NBF]]

Q: Frei........Edwards........Conway......Who's the odd man out?

A: FREI!!!


I think it's possible we might sacrifice/trade him in order to get another CB

You didn't fail.
I was trying to make a light hearted reply to your post.

I think we failed each other.
How will we go on?

[Pachuco]

I'm thinking that Edwards was probably released. He'll become a pool player for the MLS. In which case why wouldn't he continue to practce with Toronto since he lives here for now?

[TFC Cityboy]

the whole "pool player" thing is so bush league...sounds like a sunday pub team league! What was the name of the pool keeper we had a couple of years ago, I'm racking my brain- he was half decent.
