    Seems like we just need some backup for him then, which Petrasso can provide. We signed him on a TAM deal, so it’s pretty unlikely we’re bringing in a starter quality player at LB.

    Reality check time. The only thing JMR has shown us is that his agent knows somebody at the Guardian. I do not believe there is a $10M deal for him anytime soon.

    I would love for him to prove me wrong, naturally

    Could be that it’s all bullshit. Maybe not though?
    He has shown some flashes, maybe keeping it to flashes is how it needs to be?

    seems more like regression then improvement.

    some of the win's were lucky- i do recall a game TFC won 2-1 but should have lost like 5-2 LOL

    2 out of 3 didnt appreciate playing out on 1 year left as this isnt the football standard- Manning clearly wanted to enforce the north american way of playing out the 1 year

    with regards to osorio - seems like he is on his way out- even if he does get re-signed -he may feel disrespected by not being signed already, IMO.

    I view the supporters shield as nice to have but a false economy. I bet the average person on here would struggle to name the winners in the last 3 years. Some teams transparently don’t give a rats ass about their regular season results. There’s no relegation fear at the bottom. Schedules are unbalanced. This is primarily a cup-driven league.

    I’ll accept Champions League Finals in place of MLS cup finals but otherwise not looking for any excuses. We’re spending more on and off the field than everyone else and basically through the end of this coming offseason the preceding 18 months will have been almost entirely about planning for future success.

    Next year is time for Manning and Bob to step up or get out. If they wanted more rope they should have rebuilt faster. Nobody should be watching multiple years of suck for one almost top of table finish and a mid round playoff exit. Not on our budget.
    Love this comment, this is how every supporter should think,Well said Sir

    Shaff is a featherweight.... when he came on vs Montreal, Piette was knocking him off the ball and to the ground every chance he got.

    Agreed. There are an absolute ton of amazing young Canadians, spend any time on the Voyageurs site, there are probably 50 guys who look like they could compete for spots in 2026.... but...

    Most of them are in Europe, not in MLS, and with Priso's departure, I don't think a single TFC player is realistically in the 2026 picture, currently.

    im not too bullish on some of the young crop in europe right now some of them looked really average in the u 20s a month ago,but they are young and things can change jus like things can change for the young guys here,franklin from tfc 2 was one of better players from canada,but has not signed with the big club for some reason.
    hopefully some of the duel nats in europe will choose canada

    I think Oso being unsigned is where Oso probably wants to be.

    He can explore moves abroad or maybe even find a competitive MLS team that will pay him cash to play as an actual #10. I can imagine he moves on regardless of the terms offered, unless they wise up and give him the armband.

    Things that I think Oso finds attractive beyond pay:
    1. Playing in a Top 6/7 League in Europe or Top Tier South American/Mexican club
    2. Playing where he believes he should as a #10
    3. Captaincy at TFC

    He should definitely be the next captain.

    I have no idea but if Oso is betting on himself, it would make sense to me and I am rooting for him.

    Guys can make huge jumps based on WC performances. Even 30 year olds.

    Yup and it's not like he couldn't find great suitors in MLS either. No loss to him in exploring free agency plus leverage on the club because they'll be scrambling if they lose him next season.

    Btw I want Oso to secure the bag but I think anything above 1.2m a year or longer than 3 years is an overpay.

    My expectation is that Manning either loses Oso or overpays to keep him. Both are bad.

    I know it wont be the best for TFC but I want Osorio to go and play at a higher level.

    He put in a lot of time for us at TFC, consistently got better, and should be given the opportunity to play his last few prime years in another league, I don't want a hometown boy given the Dero treatment.

    I think he would be fantastic in any top 4 Liga MX team, EU might be to late for him, perhaps he could do well in SA too.

    I know I am a bit hyped up about the WC, but I expect Oso to be bigger than Matthews after Qatar, and yeah, he would then get paid stupid money.

    This is strictly a marketing comment: can you imagine if he had a big WC but then left? I can’t. It honestly may be on Bob's mind as he considers that third DP slot.

    All very hypothetical. My point is, there is a huge range of outcomes. He could get, what 2-3M if he had a big WC? There are also scenarios where Oso takes a pay cut next year.

    There's no chance oso takes the 3rd dp slot, sorry.

    You don't spend 100 mill over 4 years on 2 spots to fill the 3rd one with a 30/31 year old mls vet

    Ya Oso is a Max TAM player. not a DP. His level of skill doesn't justify the tag.

    I’m at work and sprayed my lap top with tea when I read the Oso as a DP comment, Leeds you really are the voice of reason on this site.

    I've said it many times but Osorio's max here is $1.5M & the captain's armband. Anything more than that is an anchor.

    ^ Agreed with the thoughts above.

    And I really like the guy and he’s been the one consistent performer this season. But he always plays better in his contract year and otherwise I think a TAM deal is fair.

    No we should just give all the money to whoever Mancini invites to Italy's pre-tournament selection camp.

    Well, it would have to be their lineups for friendlies against teams actually in the World Cup wouldn't it?

    Oso bigger than Matthews? The first 60 goal scorer in a decade....bigger than that?....LOL. I might be laughing well into the night on this one.

    Oso is the current heart and sole of TFC and should be kept....

    Highly agree.

    Two great performances or one unbelievable performance plus a goal would put him to at least a max TAM or low end DP. I think the issue is that the kind of club to give him DP cash would be like a Vancouver that likes to be cheap and not sure that Oso is that desperate to give up a chance to contend.

    I can't see Oso taking a paycut to less than 800k unless he gets like a 4 year deal or has the chance to move to a club like Boca/River/Sporting or La Liga or something.
