This is dumb. If it was just about scapegoating it could be any one from spot 12-20. Douche move to de-legitimize many peoples' opinions just because 'in Bez we trust'.
Portu's post lists why people are frustrated with the move to sign him and concerns we have about Hamilton and Akinolas development. If you don't think Hamilton has shown more than Spencer then that's ridiculousx1000.
ok fine...then you should blame bez and vanny for signing him.why blame the player,he is who he is.
There is always one player that people in the fan base don't like. Seems to be a need. Others disagree.
Spencer's efforts kast season I put down to still getting back from his leg injuries.
If he doesn't physically move around the pitch better then he did last season, then he should go.
Times x1000? Harharhar
Fringe players and young players are mostly (in fact entirely) “showing” what they have away from game situations.
This isn't “in Bez we trust”, although that happens to be true in this case, based on the talent ID success rate.
I am happy to disagree with management about players, and spent most of my first nine years here doing just that.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
As you have pointed out, MLS is biased in favour of developing American players over Canadian. So when many of us see Spencer getting minutes over Hamilton - who is clearly far more effective at the MLS level - we have reason for concern
But I don't blame Bez or Vanney for that - they are making TFC better if they promote an American kid over an identical Canadian kid.
That is a screwed up fact and it is the price of the USSF allowing Canadian teams in their domestic league.
I don't see many arguing for the 3 MLS teams to leave MLS for the CPL... but that's what it would take to deal with this issue.

Interesting photo with Aketxe and his agents from eggosport.com on a road trip to North America this morning.
He really does look like Meram but I think it is Borja Angoitia
Can someone please translate #koldovamosaromperlaenamerica
For what it's worth a flight left Bilbao, Spain at 12:05 pm CET and is scheduled to arrive at Pearson at 5:45 pm EST.
My rollerblades are in the shop I can't make conformation of the airport arrival, anyone else up for It?
^There is no direct flight from Bilbao to Toronto, AC or otherwise.
Based on the time of that tweet, and the aircraft type (787), I believe they are probably on AC 881 from Paris, which departed 11.28am local time from Paris.
Arriving here 2pm.
Rollerbladers, start your engines.

So hard to speculate the flight I was looking at Bilbao to Heathrow to Pearson, timeline looks like it might be correct based on the tweet time. ACA849
Is Aketxe really travelling with three agents?
At first glance at that pic I thought it was Giovinco sitting there...haha.
Two agents & a Rio Grande goalkeeper

I really like this signing. I hope he works out well here.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Looks like the original tweet was removed by the poster Koldo Bolibar
https://twitter.com/JogaBonito_USA/status/965941504580694016Ager Aketxe is on his way to Toronto! #AthleticBilbao terminated his contract on Friday, today he boarded a flight from Bilbao with his agents Koldo Bolibar (wearing a #TFC hat!) and Egoitz Basurto, as well as #RGVFC GK and Bilbao native Borja Angoitia. #TFCLive#MLS
Guess it's about time to close this thread and open the in season speculation thread since our season starts today?

Cool, good to see Waja is official. I'm looking forward to seeing what hes got.
