If we had a DP spot we would be serious contenders as Frings could persuade him.
How is Micahel Ballack going to solve our defensive problems? Are we just conceding that Frings will play out of position at CB for the rest of his tenure?
Frings is going to be warning Ballack about TFC, not recruiting him.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
hahahahahahahahaha!
Maybe Ballack should talk to Klinsman?
JDG could be gone fast enough for me.
Just eat the salary for the year.
I think it's notable that he's been the group leader every time we've had a "Players only" meeting in the last few years. I think maybe Paul James was right, he's a serious locker-room cancer. Players side with players, not management. Maybe winter and De Klerk want him gone because he's undermining them.
Its just the way he's showed up this year seemingly out of condition, I hope he gets his form back that he had last year.
It actually cycles through a few times before the "clean out your desk" part, the secret is the mysterious "five year plan," that lets you off the hook for at least 3 years.
In the interview with Ballack, he says that he has had conversations with several different clubs, and that although he doesn't want to rule anything out, he's more interested in MLS than China or UAE. Perhaps interesting to note (though I'm probably reading too much into it) that the interviewer keeps saying "USA" when asking Ballack about coming here, but he never uses that term - always says MLS or "over there" or something to that effect.
JDG has played under a number of different TFC coaches with different philosophies. He's never looked good -- except for a game here and there -- under any of them. I have no use for him anymore.
I can't name my source but have it on a reliable authority that after the Montreal defeat, JDG , as captain, told the lads that the effort was not good enough, at which point Luis Silva confronted him and told him he should look at his own effort. The 2 had to be prised apart.
The following week, Silva starts, Ecks is skipper and JDG is on the bench...
^ What? really.....Silva has some balls especially as a rookie. Good on him for doing that.
that's what I'm told and I wouldn't write it if it were not from a reliable source within the club....that's all I can say.
There's a little bit more to this story than just that but....
there is something there.
I like that Silva kid. If it was Winter's decision to draft him, that is one in the plus column for him. But in the end, we'll probably trade him away. That's the TFC way.
you mean trade him away like another kid who called out his team's efforts after a 6-0 loss? Damn, I would of loved if we still kept Sam Cronin.
Right now I would trade JDG for Gargan.
I would trade jdg for Marco Velez or Andrea Lombardo. Either of them would be more useful than jdg at this point.
Then post it.
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
Sorry, someone refresh me on what can be done with JDG? I don't see him riding the bench all season. We can release/pay him? But get the roster/salary space?
Or we can sell him (not that anyone would, but it is an option)
Or trade within MLS (not that anyone...)
Yes?
Good to hear about. I like Silva, he's a young kid and has had a few ups and downs so far. Seems like he doesn't let that faze him though and shows some pretty decent skill. I would love for him to develop into a leader as he matures and improves his game as well.
LOOPHOLE!!! We can buy him out and sell him (for $1) and get our cap space back!!!!!
Just found this out!
Fucking sweet!!!!
Embarrass the hell out of of him big time and get him to bargain his way out, or just buy the cancer out for the full price tag - there are your options. Third option is to let him screw the team up for the rest of the year - what a great set of choices....
just read this from ms.knowitall(Jennifer benson)
#TFC Director (Player Development) P.Mariner & agent of Chelsea CM R.Meireles talk Designated Player Contract.. J. De Guzman buyout imminent.
Raul Meireles come to toronto fc? While we are at it, lets see if Ronaldo will leave Madrid and come to TFC looking for a new challenge. I love the players and if this had even a shred of truth to it, id run down the street naked. Too bad it aint happening.
The Guz is so yesterday - get him out of the locker room now before he causes any more damage... what a bobblehead!
R.Meireles? I would shit my pants if this happened.just read this from ms.knowitall(Jennifer benson)

I would too he is my favourite midfielder.
who is Jennifer Benson and why would anyone care or believe what she says other than it sounds nice, which means nothing?
Can't talk about it too much
Luis Silva is a leader in the locker room. Baffled as to his lack of playing time.
Never heard this before.just read this from ms.knowitall(Jennifer benson)

If it comes true, though, it puts the RPB tweets into a more serious look, too.
Also, I found this:
im not taking the tweet as something that can possibly happen. if you had read my OP you would see i was being sarcastic about this whole tweet. and Jennifer Benson is this person who has been tweeting bad shit about us, which we all laugh it.
