    I love this comment on the 24th minute blog:

    You know a player is obscure when the only Google reference for the player is the blog article you were just looking at.

    LOL

    i certainly trust reports out of Latvia.. haha. I don't see how you could have a serious knee injury yet be running around in training with TFC.

    I think it's because the name is incorrect in Duane's blog. LOL

    Its more likely an excuse for his previous club to release him.

    He does appear to be injury prone, which is never a good thing.

    and all is now well in the world. Phew thanks God we got this guy I was getting worried for a while.



    actually just checked his wiki and his goals ratio is excellent for a defender...I take it back, as long as he has 2 legs and can run.

    I was taking the piss but then checked wiki and it looks like a decent gamble if he is fit. Had never heard of him of course as I don't spend much time following Latvian football, tho I' sure it's excellent!!

    I believe he's a leftback, so were' out of luck on that front.

    Whose criticizing him? Other than commenting on his obscurity or his proneness to injury. Which seem like valid points. Most people are willing to give the guy a chance. Everybody likes pleasant surprises.

    Maybe you should do this, TFC: where Rocker will defend everything the crappy management does.

    I love the comments below the translated article... sounds like they know a little about the MLS in Latvia. They even post links to some of the TFC supporters youtube videos.

    If this 23-year-old in any way helps get our 97-year-old defender off the pitch and to the bench, then I would count this as a successful signing.

    Credit to Mo for finding someone away from the usual channels (how long until he changes agents to First Wave? )
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    People people people! Can't you see that this is just another cynical cash-grab by MLSE?!! Everyone knows they make a lot more money selling crested player shirts with letters like š and č than they do regular s and c. It's all yet another ploy to separate us from our money!
