    At least this is a good sign that Mo is putting less stock in older burnt out players from Europe and/or Championship

    Thank you. I was trying to be funny. I like Shaughno's version of locker room debate

    Dont forget, this is the Bolton Wanderers we are talking about here, not too worried what their opinion is

    Thanks for the highlight clip Shaughno.
    Having watched that, I for one am quite excited about this signing.

    - Hes got footwork, something Ive NEVER seen on TFC
    - Goes right at defenders
    - Speed to burn
    - Doesn't give up on the play (hussles all the way back defensively)
    - Alot of enthusiasim
    - Decent touch
    - YOUTH YOUTH YOUTH.. he can only get better

    Atta boy Mo, good on ya.

    I just saw a youtube video of him and i like what this kid brings.. He definetely is going to cause problems for the midfield and the defence. very quick and seems to produce alot of fouls on his behalf.. great ball skills, can pass with accuracy and when on the recieving end of the long balls he has the SOFT TOUCH... important when your breaking out of the area...

    see for yourself

    This kid is for real.... can't wait to see him in Action

    First thing that caught my eye, from one of their members who is in direct contact with their youth system...

    It's also notable that when he looked at his best, we were playing him through the middle as a lone striker, where his strength and pace could be best employed. Now he's back on the wing.

    To be honest I've got real doubts about our coaching. Smith, Vaz Te and Leslie Thompson all have ability, but no end product. Our best prospect for my money is Kevin Wolze and he's hardly getting a game at reserve level.

    ^^ Nice find, I can't see the negative in it. He isn't a "Big" signing but who knows what's gonna happen. This is good news to my ears

    Well he's been cut from 3 teams in the past 3 years.
    Kid needs a job more than anything else.

    He was injured so he couldn't play in the tourney. Seriously you are so biased towards Canadians it is ridiculous. This is Toronto FC not the CMNT, the team is gonna do what is best for the team. You are a borderline xenophobe

    2) They signed a young inexperienced player.


    Where ois our DP? When are they going to spend some money on some real players????

    No, he is coming home becasue he is a bust and no one wanted him in europe.

    Don't kid your self- that's the only reason we got him.

    I can't believe all the pissing in here. We signed a striker. A couple of hours ago it looked like we weren't getting ANYONE. The kids 22 years old and has just had some bad luck with injury but now he's ready to go. He could be the next Altidore for all we know.
