    The beer agreement with Carlsberg. After 3 seasons a better beer selection at BMO is needed.

    I was never a fan of Velez, either.

    Nick Fucking Garcia.

    Okay that was a trade but I figured this thread needed Garcia bashing.

    Right now um....Gerba and Cunningham. Actually almost every true forward we've ever signed has disappointed me.

    In order (for me at least)

    Jeff Cunningham
    Ali Gerba
    Pablo Vitti
    Olivier Tebily
    Johann Smith

    I never expected anything from Ruiz or else he'd be on there

    Eskandarian had a lot of potential, but never seemed to click here.

    Pablo Vitti.
    I'll never forget the first time they showed him on one of those TFC TV episodes.
    They put him running in slow motion with like chariots of fire music in the background. You would think we signed Messi.

    The thing is alot of players seem to come here and fail... maybe its not thoughs players faults... maybe TFC is just poisonous to some players... or alot of players....

    I'm glad someone brought up Smith... promising speed and ball control... (or is that speed = out of control...)

    I am not sure it is the players, it is the club and lack of structrue brining in players, that are not wanted by the manager, or not properly used by the managers. One or two bad signings I can see but we have had too many players come in and move on.

    Johann "Crazy Legs" Smith, never expected much from him. Pace to burn, but just never was able to do anything on the wing.... and he couldnt cross, worse than mens league.

    Gerba

    We spent a lot of time crafting that Prince Ali song. It had so much potential and then he had to go and spoil it all by not playing up to expectations.

    He fooled me. He really did. I was there in Chicago when he floated in a beauty to Ibby who headed it in to tie the game. At that point I was sold that TFC had a really good up and coming winger.

    Boy was I wrong.

    Funny side story to that trip: I got talking to Flush after the game and later on found a thread on here where he said he was talking to "a casual fan" about road trips. I was a little embarrassed at the time and didn't speak up

    Cunny, although he started off well but never regained his form with TFC after his injury...

    Man, I remember that cross. I thought we had something brewing when Smith and Ibbe linked up. But then he couldnt control his legs, did too much, too little, low in game IQ and after that cross our strikers might as well have been nuns with the (lack of) service they got from him.

    haha..I also remember back home we'd see him streaking down the wing then come face to face with a defender.

    *step over*
    *step over*

    *BLATANT GIVE AWAY*

    Followed by a collective groan from the crowd.

    End scene.

    Most disapointing is the signings we haven't made...

    1)the essential central defender - really you build your team around this guy - we've never had one.

    2)a decent striker

    We've been saying the same shit for three years - where are these guys?

    Thats the most disapointing thing...

    If Dickov is signed that will be the worst signing in MLS history..

    Sell your tickets while they are still worth something.. !!

    Personally for me it has to be Ricketts. I got caught up in the hype. I was a rookie at looking at someone's past and made lots of assumptions. Ricketts played for Spurs and Everton. He was touted as the next Beckham. How could he not come here and absolutely tear up the MLS?

    Well...Ive been alot more cautious at making assumptions about a player I had never seen play since then.

    1) Jarrod Smith
    2) Tomer Chercinski
    3) Abbe Ibrahim (the first one)

    Winner. There's a difference between an athlete and a footballer. He had bust written all over him before he even walked it. Bit signing at 45k, nothing much was expected, nothing much was provided.

    I'll say ruiz was a huge disapointment here. Showed up out of shape, out of mind... prior to that the guy was money in this league.

    It was, something like this:

    Does Mo count as a signing? Because if so, I put him at the top of the list of our biggest disappointments.

    Although, to be disappointed, you need to have expectations...which not many people did.

    Julian de Guzman.
    He cost us the most (in salary) and for all that money has given us very little.

    A close second is MLSE's signing of Johnston.
    What a tosser.

    I was going to say JDG, but the reality is he still has a chance to prove himself this year. So far though, I agree, he's been a bit of a dissapointment.

    The thing about JDG for me will not be the points he puts up, but if he is able to pull the strings of the midfield, someone who wins tackles, pushes the ball wide or plays it off to DeRo. For me, he has to be everywhere. Not necessarily scoring, but tackling and making solid outlet plays.
