TFC 2022-2023 player off-season roster discussion

[ag futbol]

I think/hope that in the recent few years it's because we've had to use our buyouts on other, larger mistakes. During the start of the Curtis era they probably figured Bono would bounce back to his 2017 form just like they thought with everyone else. Plus he was still young at the time and recently removed from the USMNT picture. All this plus his way too long contract from Bez lead us to where we are today.

What kills me about this line of thinking (to be clear attributing to management, not you personally) is the requirements of the GK spot have changed over the last five years.

There’s now a pretty strong expectation that even MLS keepers be able to play out of the back and provide an extra outlet in some form or fashion. Doesn’t mean everyone is turning into Ederson but they sure as hell better be able to do the basics well.


So not only did Bono have to stop bumbling his saves, he had to learn how to pass. It was always a bridge too far.

If we had a legit GK coach who could have ran the passing & distribution drills daily for all these Bono years, maybe, but we had Conway (who was basically Bono a decade prior).
