"Julian is not a goal scorer and I think most TFC supporters understand that"
Don't really agree with that to be honest. When he arrived I think plenty of people expected him to/and still expect him to score goals as a designated player. I am definitely a supporter of DeGuzman, and I think he fits into the team. His price-tag is the issue based on the performances I've seen, and to be honest I'm not going to blame TFC management for signing him. Plenty of people wanted him here, and expected him to perform well in this league. He's performed well, just not well enough to earn a Designated Player's salary. I think that sentiment holds true with many other supporters. If the released/traded him, I wouldn't be too shocked or hurt. What upsets me is the fact that we traded a cheaper player in Carl Robinson in what I recall as an almost direct result of acquiring DeGuz (correct me if I'm wrong).
This better not be a cruel joke!
Carl Robinson was making over $300k with TFC so it was not a significant salary difference. However, he seemed to be much more of a leader on the pitch than DeGuz ever was.
I expect someone of his talent to hit the fucking target when he has the opportunity. He's not a goal scorer, but his shots are ridiculous spastic flailings, a spectacle that we would tie someone like Peterson or Sturgis to the tracks over. Every single time JDG winds up, I've written the play off as a goal kick, and I am right 100% of the time.
I never expected goals from him, but I did expect him to shine - instead he seems sometimes above average and that's all, to me anyway.
probably best think JDG could do for TFC. although it's like 170k in cap relief
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
I hope they would use the money on someone else not just get rid of him and get another DP to replace him and still only have 1
this would be best for TFC, JDG, and CMNT.
It might be for the best. I actually think he's a great player but I think TFC isn't where he shines.
Are we still paying in part for Robo? See where I'm going with this...?
Who the hell is going to take him back in europe after watching his match tapes from over here...?
When does JDG contract end?
I think JDG's career might be done thanks to his knee injury.
You can bet that JDG will be giving 100% during the Gold Cup to prove he can still play.
I thought he already left TFC I haven't seen him all season
This is best for all parties involved. I hope its true.
yeah doesn't make sense to me why he would want it for that reason ^ so i think it's not true
I was one of the people who was excited to hear JDG was coming to TFC a few years ago. But let's face it, it has not worked out for either party. The reasons why will be debated at length but it does not matter. Sooner or later it needs to be decided what was thought to be a good plan is just not working and it's time for a change.
Unless Winter & Co. are looking to build this team around him it would make sense to part ways, be it in time for him to look for work in Europe next season or at the end of the MLS season.
