Moore - 27 GP, (22 Starts) - 1977 Mins - 6 Goals 4 Assists
Gilberto - 28 GP, (21 Starts) - 1955 Mins - 7 goals 5 Assists
One is much cheaper.
freddy Adu to Toronto fc. Heard it hear first folks. This is completely my own conclusion. Article online states two MLS teams are vying for him to join them on trial. But, if I was Bez I would bring him in. Could have a lot of upside
No thanks.
We already got one veteran trying to reup his career in Findlay. Only one freaking project a year.
Worth watching:
Take aways
- Moore to be used as a hold up play forward, not as a find the gaps forward (i.e. replacing Altidore)
- Oduro was going down the depth chart based on his strengths
- Vanney thinks there is depth on the wings interested in new people but timing may not be right to bring in people
- Caldwell and Perquis as the preferred pairing
I'd agree; he was decent at Philly and has always been a solid contributor. Not a star player, but also not really reaching his potential. I don't see it as divisive if he's getting journeyman money and is humble about working with Bradley and Giovinco to improve. Look at some of his play for the U.S. Nats; it's clear he has MLS-level talent, at least. Plus, he can play in the hole and as a wide forward, so would be a perfect understudy/backup.
Then again, there's always the potential distraction. I sometimes think, though, that coaches move him because they can't "unlock" a potential greatness that isn't really there. He's just a decent second-div-type pro.
They could always structure the deal to be performance-based.
Adu? no thanks. he couldn't hack it in Serbian league. dude is just in a freefall. seems to have an ego problem too

Darren O'Dea with some nice things to say about the league.

Always thought he was a better than average centre back, and it was awesome that he was left footed and could play LB in a pinch. He's always been so positive about MLS, would welcome him back with open arms.
Honestly either Moore is invisible a lot or I was drunk a lot because I thought he played way less than that.
I actually thought he was better at LB for us than he was at CB.
I go with invisible... I frequently found myself wondering, "Hey, who's that?", realizing it was Moore, then going back to not noticing him. He'd surface now and then and score, but if he wasn't scoring you'd hardly know he was there.
I do recall him being quite good there as well. Pretty sure he scored the goal where he basically ran the whole field when he was at LB.
I remember that goal! Caldwell and Brockie also scored their only goals in that game. It was a pretty entertaining 3-3 draw vs Montreal. I think the game started with them scoring on us in the opening minute, too hahah.
It's like he get's worse with age
and he's 25... how are you good at 16 but now just suck? lol
it starts with the fact that ur not really 25
[*]Seems there is emphasis injury prevention/reduction in training.
Tells me that whatever Nelson was putting them through last training camp was directly related to we saw early last season.

As opposed to making glaring errors which would cost us. Lord knows we saw enough of those at various positions. Sometimes invisible is not a bad thing.
I don't think anyone will base a defense on Gilberto based on his overall production last year (the numbers don't lie). It's the fact that many feel, based on his quality of play that he would do a lot better this year.
In Moore, you know what you are going to get, and that's it. Gilberto has the potential to do a lot better given another year. It's all moot though, and he's far from irreplaceable.

Well Milan just signed Destro off Roma and could be the last ball to drop to send Pazzini to Juve and Gio to TFC
I expect some annoucements soon, not sure exactly when but soon.

Should be at least one other one concerning a player.

Coming or going?

Coming. I never really get a good handle on going because TFC are really good at not letting much leak. The incoming stuff usually leaks out from outside people.

....aaaaaaaand there is Bradley's #6 to his #8 - my gawd this team is filling out nicely if this comes to pass
Hmm...defensive midfielder.
34 years old by the time we would see him in May.
(Cue retirement league - Old dudes from Europe...etc. etc. etc.)
Cheyrou was a serious stud a few years back.
Don't Cheyrou and Bradley play the exact same position? He sure used to at Marseille.
