Well whatever the solution, they need to end on a high note. MLS is not the only league with scheduling challenges; the international dates are terribly slanted towards Europe.Originally Posted by Yohan
I just think it's gone on too long and interest has fallen off. Play as many games as you can, but keep people's interest.
Henry can't be picked up if he's on loan.
And why Creavalle?
I mean Moore would be easily picked up.
At the time, we didn't know Henry was on loan.
Creavalle is harder to replace as a sub. Cheap and young. Basically, he's an upgrade on Hall.
If we really want someone from Chivas, then we could make a trade with one of top 5 teams on the list to grab that player. A draft pick and/or allocation money could be enough to make a trade.TFC loses yet again. Nothing goes right for this club.
Oh, I see.
That does make sense.
But Moore will still easily be picked up if they leave him unprotected.
Moore is on loan too.
Definitely protect Creavalle.
Lovitz is a dime a dozen player in this league. Overall, we're not very deep and this shouldn't pose much of an issue. Wouldn't be surprised if we came through this untouched.
i think the draft position is non tradeable
Team can pick player TFC want then trade to TFC on later date.
I don't believe so. We got him in a three-way trade with Chivas and Colorado.
From who?
He signed with Chivas and TFC got him in a three-team trade for Agbossoumonde.
That doesn't benefit TFC like getting a decent player for free (which is what would have happened if they had had a top pick). If they want to spend allocation money on a player, unless one or the other side gets the better of the other, it's an even transaction.

ooo, i'd agree with you if he was right footed. But as a left-footed attacking player...they actually aren't that common. You'll find teams that come across good ones, hang on to them for a long time (Davis/Donovan etc).
Personally i think lovitz has it in him to possibly make the USMNT (january camp kind of guy) if he develops to his maximum potential. I say we definitely keep him and protect him.
this is correct.
Also a lot of people are talking about the Chivas draft...we'll see what the contract situations are like, i expect a lot of teams to 'pass' in this.

2014 expansion draft rules
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Anyone know if there will be a stream or whatever of the conference call for the dispersal draft?

Toronto FC fans ought to be high five-ing Greg Vanney and Tim Bezbatchenko all the way to the StubHub Centre for that pick up. Incredible!

Toronto FC acquire Marco Delgado via Chivas USA dispersal draft. #TFC #MLS
Did TFC pick a gold coin out of the fountain? That's seems to be what people are saying about Delgado.
Some dude on Reddit predicted TFC would take Delgado with their pick 20 days ago... I asked him for more on Delgado and he said this:
Chivas USAArmandoBroncas 3 points 20 days ago
Yes he is a Homegrown player. Could be deployed as a RB, RM, CDM, and CM. Very versatile. Gives it his all till the very end.
A player well known by Vanney from his time at Chivas.
Here's what the Goat Parade (Chivas SB Nation site) had to say about TFC's newest addition, Marco Delgado, going into the dispersal draft...

VERY LIKELY TO BE SELECTED:
...
Marky Delgado, M: Another youngster, and Delgado's a 19-year-old with plenty of MLS experience at a variety of positions. He's played central midfield, wide midfield and both fullback slots in two seasons. Has had minor season-ending knee surgery two years in a row, so there may be concerns about durability, but the Homegrown player has a lot of upside.
Tweet from Jordan Hamilton:
Jordan Hamilton@jayhams 15m15 minutes ago Remember playing @MarkyDelgado in the MLS youth cup 4 years ago back in Dallas, huge talent ! Welcome bro #TFC
I don't know a thing about Delgado, but I like the idea of picking up a 19 year old with 37 starts. I like the sound of that a lot.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
x2. apparently he has played multiple positions which could be interesting for us. sounds like a good pickup!
We haven't really had that since Pozniak!

Glad that Delgado has so many options position wise. Hope he can stay healthy.

Other than his injury woes, the general consensus among most observers is that he was a very solid pickup by TFC.
finding players to match MBs intensity?

Hopefully that's part of their decision making this off season...
