Have At It People
I have zero expectations and hope of post season is gone for me now....just want to be entertained. And if Insigne is still feeling anything from the last game please don't play him on the fake turf in ATL. Not worth it.
should probably do some rotation here with playoffs all but gone.
the same guys who have been starting every week look gassed.
Between the fact that a) Bob said after Charlotte v1.0 that he and Jesus
disagreed that his role had changed; b) He was
left out in Miami; c) he hasn't started since and
d) he complained about not getting any service from the Italians in
theSpanish language news availability....
I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to move Jimenez
in the offseason.
He seems a clearly better player than Ayo; you'd expect if Bradley hasn't soured on his
personality, he'd start him against Atlanta because he's on nine goals
for the season AND despite a four game look Ayo has accomplished little.
If he doesn't start against Atlanta
I'd worry once again it's BB seeing someone as "disruptive".

i reckon that the decision to bring in a DP striker has already been made, and that jiminez will be moved as a result.
If Bono starts, then it's probably because they still think they can qualify for the playoffs and they're trying to give Bono a chance to improve his market value with a good result (remember he did have a clean sheet a couple of weeks ago). I'm assuming anyone but Bono in net means that they're planning for next season.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
We should be starting an academy keeper for the last 4 games. Lets see something else.
I’d be surprised if JJ was back. And Ayo so far seems a waste of a big contract. I don’t see him working out very well in Bradley’s football club (though not to say he’ll be gone).
Post montreal, for the first time Bradley spoke of “new players” as a way of “becoming a good team”….

ATL will be without Martinez, who was suspended for a week for getting into a physical altercation with Pineda and flipping over the club's dinner table...
That might actually be a negative for us - he's become a distraction.

I have been strongly chastised in this Forum before for this notion, rode hard and put away wet to say.
But I think Josef Martinez is a striker type we could use.
At the right price; another reclamation.
The HIGH-TAM Ayo and tandem to some other EURO-DP JJ.
I think he would fit with the Italians' football'in style, experience and expectations.
I understand he may be / is disruptive.
Still, Kei Kamara has the reputation of an aggressive mutating cancer, and yet look what he is doing for MTL; look what he did to TO.
7 goals 4 assists for martinez before the last game which was pretty much must win the rest of the way or close to it...thats rookie coach mistake #1 by pineda...hes been arguably their best offensive player and its a must win and you bench him? and when you sub him on you give him the armband...so hes your captain and been doing well offensively and its must win...funny thing is he also scored but it was too little too late and they said bye bye to playoffs...pineda shouldnt last too long there
I'll keep...
TORONTO FC, MLS
What BetMGM thinks of our goalkeeping right now:
Toronto FC to win and Atlanta United not to score
+625
Does the league still have emergency keepers on standby? Lets list Bono as injured along with Q and get one of the league reserves to step in.
I'm so tired of seeing Bono who will not be here next year, give time to the academy prospects or get someone from the league on trial.
This opinion is offered without having having kept requisite track of him - but hey, posting with only the slightest grasp on reality seems popular here these days! Given his production this season, his attitude (which, frankly, I’ve always liked) and the potential service he’d get here, I don’t think he’d be a bad idea.
Polish league has plenty of quality. It has no depth. Same as Scotland, Czechia, all secondary leagues in Europe.
I was looking at the Croatia MNT callups in Nations League (three guesses on why)…

….. there are more from their domestic league that you would think.
Suspect MLS is missing the boat on this- could we be doing more to get the guys just under the starlets that have a shot at Germany or Italy and their National team? That country right now is an absolute football factory…

“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Mitrovic is Serbian, not Croatian
Most definitely....and a note, of the dinamo guys on that list, they all played in the win vs Chelsea the other day. Doubt those guys would come but Petkovic would be a great target man...strong, technical ability as well...him and the Italians up front would be fire power.
