Can they not afford any? Why would you dish $5 million for Maurice Edu? If they had seen him play this wouldn't have happened honest to god lol

I'm sure the Rangers have some money to burn...
are we trying to set a most redundant threads in a day record on this Mo Edu thing?
Really... another thread on this?
glasgow is overhauling thier whole midfield spending about 9 million pounds
There are some Rangers fans that sit beside me in 224 that are gonna be thrilled Edu is gone, but mighty pissed at where he's going....
Edu is also a regular for the USMNT and Hume is more of a fringe guy for the CMNT. Edu is also 3 years younger than Hume. Hume is 25 and not gonna improve a whole lot more whereas Edu is only 22, still fairly young by Euro standards. No way Hume should be commanding a larger fee than Edu
In what games my friend...in what games....
So Edu played a full 90 in some meaningless friendly....big deal.
If the US was going to the World Cup right now...Edu wouldn't have a hope in hell of making the team.
Im pretty sure Iain Hume is guaranteed a spot on the CMNT, with a good chance of getting games.
well, edu was called up for the next US WC qualifier..... and I believe Hume wasn't...
i really think edu is being hyped so much that he's gonna get called every time from now on.
and he might even play.
You cannot profess to know anything about this game if you do not appreciate the quality of Edu. He will become a great player in time, and all will regret his leaving TFC.
Really though!
Here's what i saw of Edu in his time at TFC:
year 1: great player in the making, great defensively, decent passer, ok offensive potential but not great. Future as a box-to-box midfielder or DM. Was extremely hard working.
year 2: wtf happened? he's been lathargic to say the most. Doesn't put in as much of an effort defensively and he's a black hole of possession. Tries to run defenders or make things happen but isn't effective. Should be close to being relegated to the bench.
Has he been distracted by Europe? sophmore slump? Who knows, but it would be a lie to call him effective this year.
So the question is what are Rangers seeing in this guy right now? They aren't stupid, they are a big club with resources. Is he playing much better for the USNT? are we playing him way out of position (is he really a defender?).
Something is up here.
All in all, we lost a slumping player that everyone outside of Toronto has been overhyping for FREAKING FIVE MILLION DOLLARS! We will have our DP by next season, and now we have another young promising striker to partner Barret and whoever else Carver puts in there on Sunday. I say we did pretty well.
