    Default Carlos Ruiz (on his way out of Phily) - would you?

    http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_b...illy.html#more


    On his way out of Phily, obviously he is a dirty bastard and the fans didn't like his diving.

    Everyone has a different opinion, as far as I'm concerned he can kick puppies while he walks down the street and push over old people for the price of 12 goals a season. The rest of the season might provide an opportunity to see if he fits.

    Unlike last time he was here, he's in much better shape.

    Not unless he apologizes to TFC fans and explains his lack of performance here.

    So no.

    If he crawls on his knees in penance from the ACC to BMO Field to apologize to us all....

    I bet very few would still want him back.

    Amado Guevara on the other hand... I would love to have him back.

    I'd take my apology in the form of goals. That being said, his salary is way too much and not sure if he has any left in him

    Side note: is this the goal of the year thus far? IMO Hassli's is just slightly better. It's been a great year for highlights for the league though.

    I am just happy Carlos was kind enough to take time to sign my two Toronto FC photos outside Gate 4when he was with the team. I have signed photos for 100 of 103 players that have played at least 1 minute with the Reds in all compeitions.

    I thought he was performing well in Philly? Oh well, once a douchebag, always a douchebag.

    He was a beast of a striker in FIFA 09/10 and I loved him.
    Turns out, his real life version had a sucky attitude but he was still pretty good.

    I would take him back though, and give him a REAL shot.

    I also have seven of the 10 players who have appeared on an 18 man game roster but did not see the field. Missing Tomer, Asante and Guppy.

    Carlos Ruiz (on his way out of Phily) - would you?
    Hit him with my car if I saw him crossing the street? Absolutely.

    Agreed. Ruiz isn't right fit for us.

    ^^^That was classic. He holds the distinction of being the first TFC player to be subbed on, then subbed out in the same game.

    I seem to recall him having eaten more pies...

    Ruiz actually highlights an alarming trend from our former management.
    He came in, an MLS goalscorer, no doubt.
    Our staff didn't find a use for him and in turn he was never really given a shot.
    Much like Mista after him.

    Did it bother anyone the way both these players left? Mista was doing well-ish, and suddenly he was benched permanently, amidst rumors that he wanted to go back to Spain after spending a few weeks in Toronto. He fought with Preki at an away game and was shipped out a month later.

    Yet we as fans have negative views of both Ruiz and Mista. Both are high-quality players who were mismanaged and/or mistreated.
