    Came on here to look for the Terrence Boyd appreciation thread...

    Seriously though, too bad it didn't work out. Seems like a very nice guy.

    Yeah he had to stop posting anything. He couldn't even write ' great win boys!' without a dozen or more comments that he was shit and should GTFO followed by some Vanney out stuff. All because a lot of really stupid people thought/think that he was Giovinco's replacement.

    Nice guy, family man, worked hard - just not at this level anymore (ACL injury can do that). Wish him well finding his level.


    **************

    This might be the time to remember that we have a forward out on loan with Phoenix by the name of Jon Bakero who has 3 goals and 2 assists in his 13 games played (1000 minutes). He's starting down there. I suspect he will be back up next season fighting with Akinola & somebody else for the #2 spot. i.e. Yes, his Dad was a legend but he's not a bad option for training camp.

    Long term, there was no spot for Boyd.

    Re: Anti Boyd comments on Social Media, we have to remember that if the conversation were face to face most people would be more civilized, but in the age of Social Media people feel that they can hide behind a screen and be as uncivilized and malicious and bullies, it really is disgraceful what people post. Good luck to Boyd, just didn't work out here in Toronto.

    Bakero isn't a 9.

    Below is what a Rising fan told me about him last week

    Social media is a non-stop circlejerk of idiocy, especially somewhere as degenerate and reactionary as Twitter.

    On the flip side, if you’re a public personality and are offended by a bunch of drooling trolls then you may need to develop a thicker skin. It’s just the nature of the business, and football “fans” and “supporters” (and even “media”) are some of the worst on the planet, knuckles raw and bloody from years of dragging them across mom’s basement carpet.

    Boyd is a nice guy in person, and by all means seems to have gotten along well with the team. It was a mistake that should have never happened, but Boyd is a solid human being despite not being much of a footballer. Best of luck to him; he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders, so hopefully he’s made enough connections while here and overseas to transition off the pitch into a lifelong career in something that makes him and his family happy.

    That said, I’m sure he wouldn’t do anything if confronted by fans, because: 1) he’s not an idiot who wants to be arrested for doing something stupid, 2) he’s a laid back, chill dude.

    Yeah, clearly it didn’t work out but shame on anyone who wants to take shots at him personally.

    Just not playing at a MLS level at this stage of his career.

    Hello no, do you guys remember how bad he was last year? If hes playing Pozuelo position he would barely play if at all. Chapman is ahead of him at this point.

    Last year is not this year - that's why people go on loan.

    By replacement, I meant more sub/injury/away on NT duty for Osorio.

    And the plan with the 4-3-3 is to play Bradley/Fraser deep and then have Osorio & Pozo as attacking mids making deep lying runs.

    Who knows if Vanney will even be around next year. They haven’t even played a 4-3-3 with just Bradley-Pos and Oso midfield either. It’s usually a 4-2-3-1 with Oso on the wing.

    Bojan available. Two MLS sides pursuing. I believe New England was once after him.

    If Westburg wasn’t doing so well on a cheap contract I would be interested.

    I am totally unsure about him. He's always been a mystery. He could come here and be the next Vela or another Boyd. No way to know until someone tries.

    We have gone from en fuego with non DP guys from Europe (Ricketts, Hasler, Mavinga, VV of course) to ice cold (vdW, Aketxe, Boyd).

    Has anyone in the league been worse at this in 2018-19? It's not even close I think...

    Add Cheyrou to the list of hits. And yeah, I doubt it.
