Good for him.
I guess he can blame the hair falling in his face.
Or he just couldn't cut it at the MLS level...
No seriously, what happened?
I guess that means he's decided to continue his education...good for him
One goal does not make a star striker, congrats none the less and i hope he continues
Jamaal Smith is on the roster too.
guess he's found the level of competition that is right for him.
a guy from the academy is on York too -- Pena (was he the guy who was kicked off the academy for his parents' behaviour?)
Nana is there too it seems.. ???

Oh, but he scored twoOriginally Posted by Ossington Mental Youth
What level is right for the players currently on our team?
looks like most of our team plays at a higher level than MLS:
International
Maybe if Lombardo gets his Suriname citizenship next week he can get in all that World Cup Qualifying the TFC guys are doing....

Are you sure this is not a York University Grads Club team?
The rule of thumb for any CIS sport is a player must sit out a calendar year from his last pro game.
Loyal - Win, lose or draw!
Weston, Ontario
Clearly its not Loyal.
Jarek Whiteman is on that team too!
He plays for TFC Academy, one of their best players and was also in the Canada team that faced Argentina. I think he is a 1990.
Damn that team is STACKED
If I recall correctly, and I might not have it accurate, but the development rosters are only considered semi-pro, on the same level as the CSL.
Still say Lombardo's got it.. Never had the service or the time to cut his teeth... All he ever did was bust his ass for us.. and most of you fucks are to stupid to appreciate it.
No, your wrong... Serge played for a BC Uni less then a year after playing pro for us.
York is straight up STACKED. Going through that roster. A lot of names
How much less is his pay from the $25,000 TFC was paying him?
lol i dont think york is paying him to play.. maybe paying for schooling and living costs.. IF that... thats about it
He also sucker punched a Red Bull in the stomach... I lost all my respect for him at that point.
The boy could pass fairly well though... too bad he couldn't just pass into the net.
ya, 3 goals in over 60 games at all levels before this season is a sign of never having service or never getting the time...
Lombardo's strength was 1) his hustle and then 2) passing.
But we've had a lot of hustle players who couldn't score, so that doesn't really help.
if he had lit it up as a kid I'd think he just needs a chance.. but he's never scored at any level until, perhaps now... but that's a big drop of level.

isn't it illegal for Universities and Colleges to offer sports scholarships in Canada?
Yes. It is. Serje got special dispensation. I'd expect that Lombardo fell under the same category.

so true tho
Not any more, $3,500 max now. Every CIS school, any sport, all equal.
Better than nothing and a good start, long overdue. I think last season was either the first or second season that the money was made available.
If the only good thing you can say bout a player is that 'he hustles' then give your fucking head a shake. He was a pile of crap.
he can score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how he played a game for Atalanta i will never know........
He was brought up in Italy as a target man, not a striker; there's a major difference. He was taught how to hold up the ball well, flick the ball on and basically create for others. In Toronto, he was relied on as an all out finisher, his abilities were lost and Lombardo was gone. In the right situation, I think Lombardo could do alright.
