Protected Lists

[Nuvinho]

I figure we are all interested in TFC's protected lists, but if anyone else has other's post them here.


Goff reports DC's list:

D.C. United Protects.....

Marc Burch
Luciano Emilio
Fred
Ivan Guerrero
Greg Janicki
Thabiso Khumalo
Devon McTavish
Jaime Moreno
Bryan Namoff
Santino Quaranta
Clyde Simms

Which leaves the following players available for selection by Seattle in Wednesday's expansion draft: Crayton, Martinez, Peralta, Vide, Gallardo, Doe, J. Carroll, P. Carroll, Cordeiro, Dyachenko, Kirk, Coroma, Mediate, Miller, Olsen, Thompson, Thorpe, Wells, Zaher

[ensco]

I'm amazed they protected Quaranta and left Vide off the list. Quaranta is a reclamation project who had a nice season, but really, he could easily slip back next year.

Vide is a terrific midfielder. And he's cheap (I think he makes less than $50K). I know this will inflame people, but I think he could do Robinson's job at a fraction of the price.

EDIT: He makes less than $20K! He's a very serviceable player. He's gone.

---------------
In other news, San Jose has traded Jovan Kirovski to the Los Angeles Galaxy for a conditional draft pick in the 2010 Supplemental Draft (which is MLS speak for 'Bag of Balls').

[ensco]

Cunningham gets protected!!!! You've got to be kidding me.

[RedRum]

Why would Dallas protect Cunny? At his age and salary no one would touch him.

[ensco]

Ricketts, Johann Smith and Sutton unprotected!

Toronto FC Unprotected List
Attakora-Gyan, Nana
Elkinson, Kilian
Freeman, Hunter
Gala, Gabe
Gaudet, Derek
Melo, Joey
Ricketts, Rohan
Rosenlund, Tyler
Ruiz, Carlos
Smith, Jarrod
Smith, Johann
Sutton, Greg
Velez, Marco

[Moe911]

was in rohan ricketts in the list..i really hope we dont lose him.

[Nuvinho]

The entire list of players not protected.

[Nuvinho]

Ricketts was left unprotected.

[Kevvv]

Why would Dallas protect Cunny? At his age and salary no one would touch him.

5 goals in 11 games.

[Hitcho]

Sutton and Ricketts - I'd hate to lose either of those players. Although if RR is anxious to head back to the UK then it might be a tactical decision (NOT SAYING HE IS, JUST MUSING).

Sutton worries me though. I know SS have Keller, but still, Greg's Canadian and our first choice keeper... *gulp*

[Stouffville_RPB]

Sutton won't get scooped. Rohan might but we have to remember that he is making quite abit of money and that might deter someone from taking him.

[Nuvinho]

SS would be interested in Velez or Johann Smith I think.

[MG42]

Hmmm maybe leaving Sutton open leaves room for TFC to get Seitz from RSL as was reported earlier?

[jabbronies]

Sutton won't get scooped. Rohan might but we have to remember that he is making quite abit of money and that might deter someone from taking him.

When does his contract expire???

[Hitcho]

SS would be interested in Velez or Johann Smith I think.

Oh man i hope they take Velez, I really do! Then Mo really will have to prioritise a top new CB in the off season.

I'd like to keep both J Smiths for now though, see how they do next season.

[ensco]

Here's some names that jump out at me on the unprotected list:
Ante Razov (Chivas)
Thomas Frankowski (Chicago)
Mike Petke (Colorado)
Eddie Gaven (Columbus) (wow, talk about a surprise!)
Richard Mulrooney (Houston)
Craig Waibel (Houston)
Kevin Hartmann (KC)
Khano Smith (NE)
Jeff Parke(NY)
Joe Vide (DCU)

I think Gaven and Vide are the most obvious picks on the list.

Bizarre goings on with ex TFC stiffs:
Osorio protected Boyens and Goldthwaite but exposed Parke and Magee.
Dallas protects Cunny instead of...anybody else.

[Nuvinho]

Oh man i hope they take Velez, I really do! Then Mo really will have to prioritise a top new CB in the off season.

Velez did play for the Seattle before.

[Stouffville_RPB]

barrett, brennan, dichio, dunivant, edwards, guevara, harmse, james, marshall, robinson, wynne were protected then.

y protect dichio over ricketts when dichio has concussion issues and is 33? i think tfc will regret this move.

[Stouffville_RPB]

When does his contract expire???

not sure how long he is signed for.

[Nuvinho]

I do think Mo has already talked to the Seattle GM, and they have agreed on a player or no player they will select from Toronto.

did you put a glass up to the door and listen in on a conversation?

because DD is part of the heart and soul of this club, a very useful player and very hard to replace, even with his age and injury record. plus he's likely to play one more season and then go into a coaching role with the club. I'm glad he was protected. Given the high player turnaround TFC has had since inception it's important to kepp holdof some of the original season players, imho. We may be a new club, but we still have soul.

we should pick up a brain while we're at it. no way seattle would've picked up dichio. we could've used that spot on someone else.

Maybe. Couldn't risk it, though.

[Keyman]

Rohan Ricketts is unprotected. What the fuck.

Salary is high, yes, but his salary is justified.

[Nuvinho]

This is puzzling, but I know Ljungberg plays on the right side, same side as RR. Would Seattle want a high priced guy on the bench.

[mlsintoronto]

O'Brien unprotected. Frankie gave up $125k and a first rounder for him!

[Nuvinho]

Steal for TFC!!! But isn't it the norm that he play for every expansion team

[Keyman]

Both players are versatile, either Ricketts or Ljungberg could play somewhere else in the midfield if need be. IMO
