eks is such a horrible player at the price they are paying him...if he makes that much he better have an amazing attacking upside...he just runs and never puts in a good cross...lol this whole squad is pathetic...laba and osorio are the only guys worth keeping, everyone else is cut worthy
I get the feeling Nelsen was hired for two jobs
a) what he does with the drek before KP gets what he wants
b) what he will do once we have those players
In all fairness, I don't think many coaches could do much with the drek we currently have, much of which are stop gaps and extended trialists.
As far as I can tell, Nelsen's system relies upon a creative box to box beside a defensive box to box with two roaming mids, two attacking WB's and a couple of decent forwards.
We have 1 of those pieces - the box to box defensive. We might have a decent roaming mid in Osorio and a decent forward in Earnshaw or Koevs.
I'd say, out of 8 necessary pieces, we have 1 and a lot of maybes.
Once he gets those pieces, then we'll find out how good he is.
Until then, he's teaching the subs and the starters of 2015.

Make what you will of it, by MLSsoccer.com posted this link http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/D...%22twitter%22}
It's a story about Lieweke planning the Leafs' Stanley Cup parade route. I don't think it mentions TFC anywhere in the story, just the leafs and raptors.
jloome, try the Leafs thread. We've been going over that for days there.

Wow! Can you believe Bob McCown started his 5:00 p.m. tv show talking about TFC?
He trashed ML$E and Tom Lieweke!
Tell it like it is Bob . . . .
He also said that anyone who purchased tickets in the first couple of years of TFC should feel pretty stupid. Wonder what he would feel about us who have been supporting this team since day one LOL
I actually like Bob McCown. But I've learned to pretty much tune him out whenever he starts talking about soccer (his soccer-hating more schtick than substance, anyway). Having said that, I will listen to that podcast.
Meh.

And in Fridays news:
No news on the player front for TFC.
Nelsen requests TFC get an automatic three penalties per game (hoping that we can score on just one of them).
TFC preparing parade route for the anniversary of their last win at BMO field.
Bob McCown named TFC Media Advisor
Otherwise, be grateful it is Friday and look forward to the weekend!

Lol, good ones!
I like most the one with the parade route, haha.
Give McClown a McChicken
These are the best news in 7 years!!!
...and just before that, Tim and Sid ended their show trashing TFC in general......"that's so TFC"
Frack that is funny.

Well played, LOL. We need something to keep our spirits up around here.
True...
Really it's a tough decision to cry or to laugh about TFC, even for TFC fans.
At the end of the day is still sad that these are the only choices.
