    Buried in this is - possibly four clubs from CONCACAF getting into the Club World Cup in 2025. Doubt it would be top 4 in CCL - likely CCL winner, MLS winner, Voyageur winner & LigaMX winner.

    Aren’t they changing it to be every 4 years? If that’s the case, then the Champions League winner for every year should go.

    Would be really cool to see TFC in one of these things close to home. Being able to go, would be sick.

    Luke Singh has been essentially been with the first team since last year, he trained with them throughout their stay in Hartford along with Ralph Priso who was as we know was later signed. The roster is full right now at 30 but with Rocco Romeo on loan in Denmark a player could be signed. There is also Josh Yaro and draft pick Matt Di Rosa also in camp I believe. TFC II does not kickoff their season until May 22 with their first 3 home games in Arizona, so I also wonder if there will be much desire to shuffle any first teamers out west to get minutes. Also wonder once the plans for the 2021 CPL season is known will we see any potential loans for players needing minutes?

    Supposedly the FO rates Singh pretty highly and he may be getting a first team contract shortly.

    Is Singh a midfielder or defender? I see conflicting reports online.

    Developing a starting level CB to me would be a bigger deal than developing a winger or midfielder. It is so hard to find quality defenders.

    It can't be a bad thing for a CB to be able to be good enough to play midfield. It's not every day we get a CB who is comfortable on the ball and can pass from the back in MLS.

    He could be transitioning to CB because of his height. I believe he's listed as 6/6'1. Players will often transition between CB/DM based on height. Happened to me. I was a centre-back as a kid, ended up being transitioned to DM because I was short, then when I had my growth spurt, coach transitioned me back. Could be he's grown the past couple of years (maybe he's taller than listed now), so he's been transitioned back. Okello looks very tall and I believe is being converted to CB too.

    Okello is arguably more an attacking player than a defensive player from the snippets I've heard and seen of him, albeit he's seen as box-to-box more than anything. AFAIK he's still planned to be used in midfield

    Forgive my ignorance but what is the story with the switch to 5 subs vs 3 historically? I feel like I just brushed over that change with no background.

    Is that permanent or just a temporary measure?

    COVID interrupted seasons meant lack of training and fitness, and lots of games with short rest - temporary to give players a chance to avoid injury.

    Would love to see the 5 sub rule become permanent.

    You're probably right. Somehow in my head I thought I read about him as CB, but it could be because he was often mentioned with Rocco Romeo that I might have just mixed up some words.

    There's a good chance it will. The thought (mostly out of the UK) that the big clubs will do better has been swept aside as people see how much 5 subs works to actually develop talent.

    That’s a great point and to be honest it was the first thing that came to my mind. No longer do you have the same conundrums about keeping bench players fresh vs. getting time for prospects.

    Also there's always a huge push from sponsors, tv networks, and owners to have as many games as possible so they can get more revenue so having more subs would help make the extra workload a bit more doable for the players. So I expect them to push to keep the 5 sub rule too

    To add though, you're definitely right that he's built like a CB so it's possible he moves there in the more distant future!

    So, I am by no means an analytics guy/nerd

    but, if any of you are and are wondering about how TFC's top analytics guy would coach people into doing that sort of job, here's his handbook on the industry.
