holy shit i hate this guy (ruiz).
shit looks like
jwfm1985 just posted this too. sorry. delete thread.
I really dont mind this at all!!!....Mabey Ruiz is looking for change!!!...He obviously could of said fuck off..i dont want to go to TFC!!!
If this is true!!!! I'll welcome him with open arms!!
Here come the complaints...
Whatever, it's better than nothing. The only people we can get at this time of year are free agents and via trade in MLS, so, it's better than nothing.
I may actually look forward to going this Saturday... Won't touch tomorrow though!!!!
wow and Robert is gone
I guess this isn't so bad considering the other option was presumably nothing
He is a diving twat .... but now he is our diving twat. If he is recovered from injury and wants to play here he could be a steal. Not to mention as a grandfathered DP ..... if he works out and we keep him beyond this year ... we could end up with 2 dp's ??????
how much did he cost us?
Ruiz is going to hate Paul Winsper.....hate him
I said it before and I'll say it again...Ruiz becomes our top striker on the depth chart by default. Hopefully the change of scenery in T.O. will allow him to recapture his form...
Do we really need more strikers? Who do we have now... an injured Dichio (still the best) Johann Smith, jarrod smith (not worthy of capitals) Ibby (still young) Barret (I like).... maybe MoJo heard the Team of Jimmy B's chant and is going for a full line of strikers. Finally we will score a goal! Too bad our Defence will suck and we'll still lose 23.67 to 1
Im not disapointed in this at all!!..he's only 28.....he has scored 82 golas in this league...sure there is issues....mabey the guy needs a change..mabey TFC is the answer.....he could of said fuck off...im not going to Toronto!!...
Welcome CArlos RUIZ!!!....now bring your magic!
He's called the little fish for a reason. But hey, we only score from set pieces, so it could work out
Now El Pescado. Incredible to think back in May we had thought we had the team to take us to the end of the season. If it really was a bargain, then...
I tell you this. I WILL yell at this guy to get up if he starts flopping. He better score goals on his feet.
I would have no problem booing a Toronto player for diving.
I hope he works out for us.
Well, lets see what he can do, hes TFC now
In other news: Bill Archer should get that passport any moment now.
Ghost-
JaSmith has been a striker out of necessity, i suspect if he plays it will be on the wing (then in the expansion draft), i suspect that JoSmith will be our new wingman in place of Robert
So how do you pronounce his name? You know... all authentic like. Roo-is? Ru-weeze?
Will you still boo him for setting up a Guevara free kick goal? hahaha. I agree he's cheap
if he's coming is as cheap as they say he is, this is good. He has a good relationship with Guevara which is also a plus.
His nickname: El Pescadito (the little fish)
