    Default What former TFC player will hurt us the most in 2014?

    Was just thinking every year there seems to be one player who've we've let go/offloaded during the off-season, that always has a stellar game against us that season.

    Will it be Frei in the season opener? Laba in the Canadian Championship in May? Convey and/or Eckersley with NYRB?

    Good things coming out of Portland about Urruti...have a feeling he will turn out to be a top performer/scorer in this league right out of the gate. And with us playing a home game vs the Timbers so late in the season, might cause trouble as we push for playoffs.

    Nobody will hurt us...we will hurt ourselves. Just basing that on historical facts is all. I think Robbo will come out of retirement as a player/coach for the Canadian Championship and put another header in at BMO Field to give Vancouver the championship.

    Both Laba and Frei will want to show us what we lost (as if we didn't know already). Just looking at lineups though, I notice Colorado has 4 former TFC players in their prospective starting XI - so one of them might well burn us as well.

    We will defeat all opponents. No one will hurt the new TFC!!!!! [/wishful_thinking]

    Remember how Eckersley never scored a goal here? I always expected him to, I just have a feeling I'm not going to like when he finally does.

    Seriously though, I go with Laba. Mostly based on the fact we'll see him both in the league and CCL, so more chances to hurt us in more places.

    It really is remarkable just how many players who have worn the TFC jersey over the years have in fact, scored against us. I have the stats at home, I'll dig them up when I have a chance.

    Cunningham.



    Don't give me that look. He'll find a way to piss us off.

    I'm putting my money on Laba. Watch him control the midfield against us.

    Only way Cunningham could harm TFC, is if he suits up in our kit again.

    I'm think one of our original off-loads, Connor Casey or Edson Buddle will most likely hurt Toronto F.C. on the pitch this season.

    I think it will be first Laba and second Urruti!

    Frei didn't look all that good actually. The wet turf seemed to put him off. And his distribution is...well....like everybody else we've had until Cesar.

    +1. I know it's probably way too early to start singing the guy's praises since he's only managed one game so far, but I think he's going to be a good MLS manager.
