hi london
... What the hell? kind of sudden, isn't it? the guy has only been here a month! I thought he was taken off because of a possible back injury?
no one expects you to know anything yeoman, sit down and look purty

WOW - Just WOW
Guys watch Preki's post game interview.
After he was asked about Mista ,Preki clearly said it is HEALTH ISSUE.

I'm might be wrong so check yourself before we get crazy about twitter news
I am waiting for confirmation either way. I won't fly off the handle until we see some evidence either way.
Just one thing Denime, I don't care if it's Preki, Mo, Paul B, Jimmy B, Cummins, Carter or whoever else is giving the presser. If you believe everything said in a presser, you'll be buying a whole lot of BS. I am not saying Preki is lying to us right now, but I sure hope you're not too easily convinced just because you're pro-Preki.
I want to see what the guys who do the investigating have to say.
Wouldn't be the first time that TFC denies locker room problems while the media tells us there is. Preki saying Mista has a health issue sounds alot like locker rooms problems considering he was on the field and running around. If he really pulled a muscle, torn something, had a headache I'm sure Preki would've just called it what it was.Originally Posted by denime
Unless it's something like, hemorrhoids, or something. I've often thought that sometimes when players have 'undisclosed' injuries it just means it's something considered 'embarrassing' so they don't want to say it.
Hmmm.....ever since I learned that Mista is getting $2MM annualized, I have been wondering how the decision to sign Mista was taken. Now I'm even more curious.
He is an older, relatively obscure player who played only 1100 minutes total in the 3 years 2006-2007 to 2009-2010. (Just by way of comparison, Fuad Ibrahim has 952 minutes in his TFC career, which is only 2 years long so far.)
OK it's La Liga, but we've had guys from big leagues before (Robert springs to mind as a comparable) and Mista does less for TFC in terms of selling tickets or growing ratings than Robert did. Is Mista really so different than Robert in terms of his playing credentials? Robert came in for $335K annualized at a similar point in his career.
(This is not about whether I "like" Mista or not - I like what I've seen from both him and Santos so far).

What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.
Consider the source.
Wheeler is a dork.
Remember the Pulitzer level work he did after the big Columbus invasion...nuff said.
Wheeler is a dork for sure.
But he has sources. Believe me.
That's why I am willing to wait as opposed to either going into a rage or dismissing him altogether.
If Wheeler is wrong on this then I think he is done when it come to any sort of credibility
Yup. Dem's be fightin' words as they say.
If there is something there and Wheeler has info, then it's kudos to him for the score.
If there is nothing there and he is starting a false rumour, he will never be believed again.
However, if he is right - we're in big, big trouble...
Mista & Preki have been together for "no time" at all, and have had success... So if there is a rift - we're f*cked....
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
I hope that you are right ...

J-Mol indicating nothing wrong in the locker room. Wheeler's got some 'splainin to do!
The guys on the Fan590 were also speaking of a Mista issue. Sounds like there was a rumour amongst the guys/gals in the pressbox.
So here's what a credible journo does - follow up, tap yopur sources, make some calls, get a good basis for what you're about to write about, then present a reasonably balanced article which can be a bit inflammatory but at least has something behind it to support your position.
Here's what a two-bit hack does - piss in your pants at the first hint of excitement, tweet something outrageous as fast as you can based on nothing more than unsubstantiated rumour and then smear egg all over your face as a precaution, since you'll probably need to do it anyway.

Wheeler is a hack -- remember this article? http://www.torontosun.com/sports/soc.../13362231.html

The Sun has absolutely zero credibility to me, so it's not surprising that a writer from the Sun f's up like this. Joke of a newspaper.
Gareth is a nice enough guy in person, but he is a twat of a journalist.
I get from time to time texts, emails and calls about stuff going on at TFC and I have almost never ever been able to speak about them on my blog, even if true, BECAUSE I WAS NEVER ABLE TO CONFIRM THE INFORMATION WITH A SECOND SOURCE.
I am not a journalist.... far from it actually, but even I know that.
Anyways It will definitely be "interesting" over a cuppa coffee tomorrow morning reading what he "reports"
Apparently Mista was just mad because he was taken off, he wanted to play more. The 'health issue' is Preki still not convinced that Mista is in proper game shape and being down by 2 at the half decided to pull the plug.
If a player gets taken off at half and ISN'T mad I would question his motivation to play. This is regular stuff in the world of sports. You want guys like this, guys who want to be on the field.

Mista has seemed to come along in the past 2-3 games.
Showing his skill and his work rate has improved.
This is shocking (if true).
