DISCUSS: Post Jan 26 TFC Presser (including Dero talk)
Because we know this will spawn a million and a half threads hopefully we can keep the discussion to this one.
Any thoughts on what will be announced? Will this be an all fluff - oh my happy times press conference? Will they at least provide answers that fans of the sport can appreciate it or will they tailor the language to your average joe.
and commence discusssioooooon...now
I will speculate they will introduce all the players we're missing and free pie for everyone!

I hope the presser reveals a lot, and that people push for solid answers.

I think it will spark a bunch of topics.
-I'm sure the DeRo fiasco will be brought up... how will they respond? I'm sure DeRo will input as well.
-Winter mentioned a 'second DP' maybe he will elaborate a little.
-DeGuzman injury update
-Potential Trialists... will any details slip out?

#torontofc players and coaches will meet the media at 10:30 this morning. Watch live and join in the chat on TorontoFC.ca
1 hour ago
prob just a brief talk about the preseason, whats going on and what to expect, nothing big
the tfc site itself has a live chat as well. It's open and running now.
My understanding is Asif will have some of the players stop by to answer questions directly.

I personally demand punch and pie..else we are finishing at the bottom of the table in my imagination.
Stream is working yet for anyone?
nothing....keeps saying "loading"
Stream is up.
First question from Lee Godfrey: "what are you seeing so far before taking off to Turkey?"
6 trialists confirmed in Turkey
Winter: six players coming to tryout in Turkey
Winter: no need to bring them to Toronto yet. Easier to meet them in Turkey. We want to test them.
Why do they never mic the bloody media......

"Just like JDG. It wasn't a post-and-in shot, but JDG is smart & experienced" - Carts
Dobson asks Winter if he expects to sign the trialists... Winter responds: I wouldn't invite them if I didn't.
Still not sure about Brennan/Dichio/Dasovic's role at the club.
"Still in discussion."
Mariner: "We have enough salary room to get players"
Just heard bgnewf asking about Maicon, Cann and Attakora
Questions about Cann/Attakora/Maicon's contract status.
Mariner says they have to see the players in action first.
slow on the draw
Mariner: Has had private chats with DeRo, when asked about DeRo's contract he said: "We'll discuss it later"
Could take it as an implication that they are renegotiating his contract.
End of the first group, coaches exiting, players to follow.
What time they supposed to start that one? soon?
thanks for the updates guys. slacking off at work but can't watch the stream.
much appreciated.
nothing more that "we'll discuss it later" on the DeRo issue?
weird.
will DeRo be taking the mic?
If so, will anyone have the stones to ask him some hard questions?
Really 15 minutes with the coaches and no questions regarding high level strategy or approach to "fixing" our game...sigh
He was very vague on that issue, simply put, there'll be news in the near future about it.
I mean I wasn't hoping for a "5 year plan speech" but just something...what is the TFC style of football that he sees now based on the roster he has or is trying to build.
They say they have trialists great..but what do they bring to the table and how does it fit in the grand scheme of things.
Nana Attakora the first player...
Attakora saying without direction he didn't want to commit. He is more secure now. This is the first coaching team that's actually asked the players if they're okay with the direction they want to take.
