    Nana Attakora also got senior callups and was also over-hyped when he played here. He just spent over 9 months without a club.
    Anyways, I hope they do well. Not sure if playing on TFC will help their development though.

    Now that I've had time to think about it....


    The highlight of the season was the cat.

    I think we should count ourselves lucky that they are on our team, and Canadian, considering that makes it harder for management to make bone-headed decisions like trade them away.

    I wouldn't say they are saviors but they do represent what we need a lot more of: cheap talent, depth, and in Morgan's case, a legit starter who isn't earning that much. Henry's only 19 as well, that's incredibly young for a defender who has nearly 30 caps for the team. It might take him a year or two before he is ready to be in the first eleven, but he has potential to be a great player.

    Well, at the time I was fairly excited with the Hassli signing. Obviously I now know I set my expectations a little too high, but I was happy with the announcement when it was made.

    Before that, I guess I'd have to say the Champions League game against LA at the Rogers Centre.

    I agree with the bolded part for sure.
    I say over-hyped because calling the signing of two depth players as "bright spots to the season" seems a bit premature in hyping up their abilities.
    Decent signings based on what they are now - sure; bright spots to the teams future or even to this season - I can't agree, not yet. They are both too raw.
