neat can't believe I was there and forgot .
ALL HELL'S BROKEN LOOSEhttp://gfycat.com/SharpKindArrowana
Shea to Toronto makes sense,,,
All these guys that are moving primary for playing time I guess managers want them to go to distinguished clubs and play at a high level and with Defoe, Bradley, Cesar all putting TFC high on the world map, coaches see Toronto as more then a downgrade within MLS, but a chance to still play with good players that the team has. Another newly ambitious club like PSG and Monaco, right? (a little lesser perhaps).
This stuff is only becoming available to us because of the splashes we made.
I say we move Jackson to DM to play with Bradley and really let him move up the field at will. Osorio is good, but Bradley needs to be the one playing higher up the pitch.
I agree. He actually slots in quite well for TFC... If he can keep his attitude in check.
Food for thought: I just drove by BMO field, and there's a new Portuguese flag hanging over the south end; where they have all the player nationality flags.
Hmm.. I wonder whose Portuguese and available? Especially interesting as I don't think they have flags up for some of our newer players.
the flags above the south stand and the nationalities of the players on the team haven't really correlated since at least season 4. I wouldn't read into it too much.
Hm.. You have any examples? I haven't noticed any.
omg we're signing ronaldo!
Could be true about those guys keeping him I'm chec could be the case but would you wanna risk it?, and I heard he's got shit attitude from a couple things but the whole flipping off away fans is pretty bad attitude... Stressed? Be professional. Your a pro athlete, maybe it's a ego thing but that's sounds like a pretty bad attitude to me
IIRC there was a togolese flag and an argentine flag at the D.C. game.
Togo would be for Agboss. Argentina...Aparicio?
I figured it was the one for Laba, and they never bothered removing it.
Does Agboss really consider himself Togolese? whatever, I'm sure I'm not imagining this. you'll all see tommorow.
Argentinian one isn't there anymore.
Does anyone know if Tim Payne is still on trial?
He still was as of late last week.
wasnt there a portuguese flag against colorado
we dont have a portuguese player from my knowledge.
do those flags still mean something?
Doesn't seem like it... I believe there was also an Irish and an Italian flag as well.
Irish flag is for Fran O'Leary, I presume, given there is also a Kiwi flag flying.
Its pirri pirri chicken really.
Makes sense.
But the Portuguese and Italian?... I guess just because of the large populations of each in this city?
Also wonderign what happened to O'Rourke, woulda been nice to have instead of Hall, provided hes still up to it
I noticed those at the game too.
I just assumed they were up early for the AC Milan vs Benfica friendly...
According to his twitter feed location, still in the T-Dot...
Tim Payne @Tim_Payne7 21h
@KevinHart4real this guy is too funny
from Toronto, Ontario
Tim Payne still on trial.
This discussion has grown cold.
Does this mean -
TFC has become much better at keeping things quiet.
Bright Dike is recovering on a pleasing schedule and therefore less pressure on looking for a striker.
Many MLS teams face the same obstacles, salary cap in a World Cup year means that you hold off on moves until after the World Cup - depth players at premium.
So many injuries means that trade within MLS impossible
Summer transfer window yet to open
Won't be any moves until close to the July 1 contract lock in?
But doesn't TFC owe Wilmington at least one more player? Gale Agbossomounde? Ashtone Morgan? Jordan Hamilton?
Id like to see Hamilton go down after a brief stint on the bench. See the pros learn from Bradley, Defoe, ect in training not just how to play but how to be a pro.
Then if he doesn't shine and needs some work in a few months as long as injuries are not an issue send him to Wilmington. He would do well getting consistent minutes.
TFC is waiting for the transfer window, and trying to max the value of that allocation slot. That's the good news. I think that's smart.
The not-so-good news: I think it's pretty certain that under this regime there is a focus on "name" signings and the fall SSH campaign, so they want to use whatever assets they have to make a summer splash. Which is not at all the same thing as maximizing the long term return on these assets.

Off topic and I might get some s^%$ for it, but watching the NE SKC game, Paul Mariner, as much as a bafoon he was for us, he is actually quite a good colour commentator. Keeps it very simple and its really the type of stuff MLS needs. I think the broadcast booth is a good spot for him, and trust me I think very lowly of him after what he did around these parts..
