In exchange for a guy that played 6 games and then got released
So... Nothing yet? Hope things get moving here - we could use the reinforcements in some key areas.
Awfully quiet ...
Suspect that there may be news after the weekend
Bez you need to get a move on it dude. You knew this was coming and had plenty of time to prepare.
Well apart from the already announced moves by NYCFC and LAG, nobody else has really gotten anything done, so not too worried.
Wasn't amarikwa also traded last week
Who cares if other teams have done anything or not. Everyone knows we need at least 1 upgrade.
So who would be down with a Luis Gil trade? Could play well off the bench in our diamond
what would we give up?
Self respect?
I'm not sure a guy who has stopped trying is really a good catch.
lulz.
Change of scenery can do wonders tho.
Don't think he's stopped trying but bad coaching. I just think Cassar is screwing the team over big time and the days of him riding Kreis's player foundation are slower coming to an end.
That's what I was thinking (people forget he's 21 and has over 100 MLS appearances) and they had him playing DM in a 4-2-3-1 this weekend... Maybe a straight swap for Creavalle?

Hey Bez... time to pick up the phone and start dialing.
We need defenders.
If Bendik isn't going to see time on the field then y the fuck is he still on this team?
Cuz you need two starting capable keepers
That's how Konopka started playing in the first place
Looking around the league currently it's worth noting other teams appear to be getting more minutes out of their draft picks than we are. Now given Simonin would probably be in the mix of not for injury and Bono appears to be a long term play... But kinda hurts to see SKC puts enough faith in the 20th pick overall to step in at RB while we are starving for options.
Says who? We were fine before when we thought we just had one starting calibre keeper and now all of a sudden we need two?

so Darren is off the table but in the long-er term his contract runs out December 22nd around the same time that Caldwell's contract will over. Could be a simple like for like in the offseason
How much do you think Konopka is being paid?
Is that the issue?
Would you rather have a younger inexperienced keeper as back up?
For the life of me, I don't get the ongoing fascination with this guy. He isn't good enough and wants way too much money. At best he was an average defender who had an upside due to his age, but has shown that he has almost 0 growth potential. I wanted to like the guy but he proved to me that he wasn't worth the gamble, yet every time he seems to be available (a lot it seems) he keeps popping up with us because he mentions TFC in every article.
I think there are better defenders out there that can be had for a lot less than what he would be asking here.

Darren loved the city and the team. That was great, it struck up a great affinity with the fans. As an Irishman, it was great to have an Irish international on the team and take to the club and city like he did.
From a playing perspective, we all need to move on.
yes!!!
he was cursed and run out of town when he was here by a boat load of people, now we want him back? No thanks.
And just because a dude talks about how much he loves the city, doesn't make me want him on my team. I'm glad he isn't coming.
This is the key for me...
If MLS wasn't a cap league, I'd take him in a heartbeat.
But for the money he would likely cost, he just doesn't bring enough on the field to justify the cap hit.
Now if he really loves TO and decides he wants to sign at a discounted rate, sure.
But I doubt that happens.
This forum really needs a "like" button.
