Meet Nick Hagglund our TFC !st rd draft choice.
Nick Hagglund
Defender
- Current Club: Toronto FC
- Height: 6' 1"
- Weight: 187 lbs.
- Birth Date:09-14-1992
- Birthplace: Cincinnati, OH
HOW ACQUIRED: Selected with the No. 10 pick in the 2014 SuperDraft
COACHES' BREAKDOWN: Nick Hagglund is what you get when you combine extreme athleticism good defensive technique. Described as "a monster" to deal with, the Ohio native is a solid, physical player who wins every ball that comes near him. Far from being a thug, however, Hagglund has the skill to actually take over possession, and has good enough feet that he can make the outlet pass either short or long. With his pace, Hagglund is very difficult to beat

A.J. Cochrane to Houston at 16.
it's like dealing with a playmaking statue. hard to push him off the ball

LOL. Dude is a monster
RN went blond since Monday?
Apparently TFC will be allowed to loan 4 players to Wilmington.
LOL
Only reason why he got drafted while losing some allocation money in process.
I believe your can only have 4 players up with your affiliate club in are case this would be Wilmington.
these clowns on ESPN...are unwatchable
Zamperina...u beat me 2 it
Don't know anything about college soccer, hope this kid works out. They must have really liked him to trade up.
Ryan Neil 18th to RSL.
Have to assume we're looking for a fullback prospect next, or a wide player. Pity about Akindele going so early.
I, for one, welcome our new Nelsen clone overlord.
So far, Philly is killing this thing.
Looking like RN is one thing - if he ends up playing like him, I guess that's a good thing.
19th and last 1st round pick, Colorado takes defender Grant Van de Casteele.
yeah. taking a page out of Kevin Payne's playbook, trading down for allocation while picking up good players

holy shit. he drafted a clone
does the Mrs's know about this
I wonder if he'll see any minutes. Bekker got 335 in MLS, Welshman 5 minutes. Funny enough, our 2nd round pick last year was traded for Jeremy Hall who has played almost 4000 minutes across two seasons.
Maybe we take Jason Plumhoff if he's still available? Explosive wide player.
If Kyle Venter is available do we select him??
Everyone keeps thanking this savior guy, but Andre Blake gets picked first.
Nah, redundant at this point.
LOL, how addicted to MLS am I? I'm actually watching all the little player interviews in which they say nothing.
If it makes you feel better im having a fit because my internet connection is lagging and im not able to see said interviews/draft
Mullins went too low. They're wrong about him not being good enough to be a striker at the next level.
