I'm not ok with this move affecting the retention of Laba. Not sure how it couldn't. I'm assuming the upgrade would be playing the ball out of the back on the ground, because Bendik is a decent shot stopper by MLS standards. Perhaps this is to sell a few more seats?

Great piece... KJ brings up alot of valid points.


This team is nowhere close to the TFC of the past... and that's an exciting thing!

[/B]If Cesar is only on loan until the World Cup, he will be gone by the time we play any Mexican teams.

Even if he were to stay after the World Cup, I could see him focusing on MLS, and giving Bendik the Voyageurs and then CCL games.

Yes, you have a good point. My guess is if he stays through the champions he wouldn't face the impact, Caps or Edmonton...not even any of the central american teams. But if he is around for sure I see him facing Santos or Chivas or whomever is champion in Tequilaland. I dont even picture Defoe or Bradley making a trip to San Pedro Sula or Mucho Bad fields south of Mexico..LOL
Just saying.

Envious:

How did they get all that money?

Are you kidding me? Damn TFC how are you able to do all this?

Little do they know the financial power of MLSE, which can do so much when you have a CEO who actually wants to win.

More positive:

ABOUT TIME, AN mls TEAM WHO IS NOT AFFRAID TO SPEND MONEY

Jonas is out, so that's a freed up international spot there....

[Alonso]

With his contacts, if Nelsen needs to be relieved of his duties at some point I vote for a promotion to Technical Director of the Club.

He has come through with his contacts in spades.

[TorCanSoc]

Sutton, Frei, Kocic, Bendik.

All our keepers usurp the one before, then get usurped. Its not a pleasant pattern to watch.

I was thinking that this might add a little impetus for the likes of Gilberto and Jackson to perform, with having the attention of the Brazilian national team coach, as he keeps tabs on Cesar. Not saying they are close to being good enough.. but, you have to feel they will have dreamt of one day playing for their country and, even if they were to, later, go on to play in Europe, there would be no better chance then now, to get the coach's attention. So, yeah.. motivation, all the same.

These guys just got the attention of the entire country Brasil. TFC was nothing more than a place to play snow ball before this
