Nelsen praises Osorio's development
Well, that's great and all, but if he's so good then why isn't Nelsen giving Osorio more minutes?

I'm not surprised at all.
^ this.
the candiens brought up carey price too early, and they crashed outt've the playoffs because of it. there was a lot of media attention on him and all you heard was how much faith the organization had. that was in 2008. it took him nearly half of the next season to regain his composure.
part of developing a player is knowing exactly when to use them, and when they're ready.
or more relevant to TFC, John Bostock...

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.”

one hates to say it, but bostock just doesnt have the brain for the game. Just like some kids may fly through highschool then burn in university. Not everyones brains operate in the same way. Just as some kids are forced to be Doctors but probably could have been highly succesful plumbers; john bostock may have been shoved down a path of soccer when perhaps should have been a plumber.
Bostock the plumber
Bostock is not a winger, which is the position he is forced to play for first team at Toronto

ever the optimist. For his sake, I hope you are correct.
I wonder... has this question ever been asked to Nelsen and O'Leary as to why, when the team is lacking "creativity", Bostock has at least not been looked at in the centre of midfield? Because i think this is baffling most of us...
he apparently played as CM on the reserve game

Did he impress?
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
He was better than being played out wide but when I watch Bostock play I feel like he doesn't really give a shit about playing here and it shows in his performances.
and I dont get the sense that Nelson has the patience for laziness. Probably wouldnt even sit him down and have a chat.
This goes back to him not having the soccer brain attitude, a real teacher loves teaching no matter where she/he is or what she/he is being paid, the same has to be for soccer.
You have to love playing the game, whether it be a game of pick up, a reserve game , or in the EPL

Adults have treated him like a multi-million-dollar financial commodity since he was 15 years old. He's probably a bit numb right now to it.
Why are you not surprised?
WE DID IT!
