    For sure both would be good additions as you said. Its promising knowing TFC is looking at these type of players. In Bez we trust.

    Cheap, serviceable US domestics are the must-haves of MLS. Until three years ago we didn’t have them (or gave them away).

    The problem with Canadians is that they only count as domestics for 3 MLS teams. So any team, even a Canadian team, that is given a 50/50 choice between a young Canadian or a young American, will develop the American, who can be a domestic for a US team (and therefore ultimately has potential trade value the young Canadian won’t). The American is just worth more, because he's a potential asset for more teams.

    I do think this is a problem for Hamilton and others, but blaming Vanney (or Spencer) for it is not fair.

    Funny thing is, Raheem was so good that it didn’t matter, but he was the exception, not the rule. His value to Montreal was much higher than it was to LAFC.

    Most decent young Canadians cannot get a game in MLS.

    Like I said, this is the core CPL argument.

    well, what we are feeling ( Vanney favours the development of Americans) is true, in that case. Makes sense. But haven’t they fixed this, at least to some extent? I though there was an agreement to treat Canadians as domestics, at least if they had come through academies.

    Holy shit I feel sorry for him.

    Seriously, #freeraheem needs to become a thing.

    Let's get him back.

    Who is Terique Mohammed. He's listed on the camp roaster as a TFC player and not a trialist or draft pick or TFC II. When did they sign him?

    If you watch the 30 min video with Vanney from Monday, he's the academy left back he refers to right at the end. They are very high on him apparently.

    The roster list on the site no longer refers to Terique as an academy player and instead as a TFC player.

    Keep in mind Lifestyle plays a big part in players being successful in this city. if we learned anything from the Defoe saga - it's that anyone looking to live the superstar lifestyle should probably take a pass on Toronto.

    I'm not a fan of his, but this reaction is pretty overblown. It's not like we have a huge investment in him. Vanney must see enough to think he's worth a punt. It's no worse than signing a pick from the MLS Superdraft.

    So a supplemental roster spot (#21-24) goes to a project most of us don't rate who will spend more time at TFCII then on the 18. Meh... he's getting minimum...not going to worry too much about this signing.

    He's competing with Hamilton. Gotta year to prove themselves. Lets see how they do during the Voyageurs.

    Lol the whole point was to make my statement seem overblown. I dont like spencer at all i think we should let him go to let JayHams play more, but ya i over exaggerated it on purpose. Go on Instagram , twitter alot of people are not pleased on the spencer re-sign.

    If he gets minutes ahead of Hamilton I'm pissed.

    Tired of the Spencer hate as well when he's still young and doesn't have a lot of matches under him. Vanney and Bez obviously saw a lot from him during the US U20s and RSL.

    And for the mentions that Spencer never proved himself in USL: Neither has JayHams and he's had plenty of games.

    Hams proved himself in MLS play... that's worth more. And Spencer still saw minutes ahead of him despite not showing anything in USL or MLS.
    People are rightfully worried that this will continue.

    Sounds like signing van der wiel may depend on whether his current team can land a replacement rb

    RIP Hamilton & Akinola. I like the ambition to win CCL but seriously, this would be 7 strikers on the roster. Why?
