Osorio undergoing sports hernia op per newsflash from tfc
Yeah... as long as some people are talking about Osorio's production late in the year, looks like he was playing through a hernia.
That makes his record even more impressive.
So all that speculation that he stopped scoring goals because he got the dollars can be put to rest.
I like Auro. He's a pretty decent RB. You would think he would do even better in his second season and still very young. We need the depth too.
If MLS is not in a position where can have Auro as a bench player, we have a long way to go.
Your absolutely right on that Defoe. He definitely should get a second season.
Is the 600k figure considered to be Auros cap hit or is that just the negotiating fee with club to consider extending a new contract
Why did Vanney put an injured player on the pitch during the playoff run?
Someone has to go in the midfield if we are going to add width at a starting level. Who will that be if it’s not Marky, MB, VV or Oso?
Players play with sports hernias - Mavinga played with one most of last season.
transfer fee
Muddling through our midfield could be the basis of off season mutterings galore.
To my mind VV and Marky Delgado are linked, VV can pursue attacking alleys and look towards freeing and feeding the strikers, because he knows that Marky Delgado will be the one to track back and foil counter attacks. VV does trackback, but he does not have to do it with urgency when he has Delgado able to fill the space behind him. When Delgado is on his game, he is forever back in our defending third and turning situations around. I am not saying that VV creates those situations, just inevitable that attacking forays do not always end well. You need someone to mop up.
Osorio is linked to Giovinco, he is second only to VV in knowing where Giovinco wants the ball. Or moving into opportunities that have been created by defenders over shifting to fend off Giovinco.
I think that tinkering with the midfield has to either reflect or enhance these balances. Move Delgado and you would need Osorio to play more of a trackback holding role. Move Giovinco and you can't expect Osorio to be Giovinco.
Maybe with Vanney talking about needing a wide player, Giovinco becomes a winger and a younger bigger stronger striker (too soon Ayo Akinola?) stays in the middle of the pitch???
Sports hernias aren't as serious as inguinal. They would just take the edge off his game.
The Revs just announced their options and cuts for 2019. Maybe something released by TFC this week?
I would believe so, there are 11 players that have an option on the contracts. Last year it was on December 14th, three days after the MLS Cup Final.

Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Unload Vazquez
Unload Zavaleta
Trade for Higuain
Trade for Zimmerman
3-5-2
------------Giovinco-Altidore
-----------------Higuain
Morrow---------Osorio--------------Janson
----------------Bradley
Mavinga------Zimmerman----Van Der Weil
Higuain ain't going anywhere. He's a Columbus lifer.
Agreed. Inguinal are what players dread.
We're going to ditch Vazquez because of injury concerns so we pick up a 34 year old Higuain? lol
I think Higuain will be good until he's 36 if he sticks to being a CAM (which he is for most part), but he's not a risk I want TFC to take.
And yeah, he's a Columbus lifer

As for Zimmerman, seems MLS FO won't let LAFC re-sign him with TAM and Zimmerman has interest from Europe.

This says we are loaning a 20yr old GK from Sao Paulo
https://www.lance.com.br/sao-paulo/s...roto-base.html
Apparently he is already in the city tooRevealed in the base categories of Sao Paulo, goalkeeper Lucas Paes was loaned to Toronto FC until the end of next season. The young player, just 20 years old, was the third reserve in the position and still had not won opportunities in the Morumbi Tricolor. To replace the vacancy, the technical commission promoted the boy Dennis Júnior, who trained in the CT of Cotia and was part of the under-23 squad.
The Higuains and Piattis and Alonso’s of the world aren’t “traded”. Those guys will only move if they want to.
MLS may allow players to get traded, but there is a limit. It is about respect, and if you allow a team to forceably move a signature veteran against his will, you are violating a core code element of world football.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I would assume that signals the end of Irwin... give the guy some credit, he’s been a good servannt to the club.
To be fair Alonso was on the block at the beginning of this season
Oh sure, teams shop senior veterans - it wouldn’t surprise me if TFC have done it.
I am saying the player doesn’t move if the player doesn’t agree.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
fair this is very true
Vanney wanting to setup with 4-3-3 next season so looking to bring in some true wingers who could get by their man out wide.
The winger should also be comfortable cutting inside if Giovinco is the false 9. It would make no sense crossing it if there’s no target man in the box.
