Good player to pick up and have around though. Love the versatility of those players that can pull in holes when injuries happen. Always good to have around and on a small contract is even better.

Any updates re Jamie Peters?
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Didn't know where to post this little tidbit of information:
I know a lot of people have been talking about how Quillan Roberts was a panic buy, and is never going to get game time but interesting enough it seems he's playing in net for the academy down in Dallas, the TFC Academy is there for a competition.
there is an academy thread
http://forums.redpatchboys.ca/showth...C-Academy-2013
he, looking at the academy tweets, seemed to have kept TFC in it yesterday and from the looks of it, a few more today; I know Stewart Kerr is really high on him
Apparently he nearly scored again.
Toronto FC Academy @tfcacademy
Known big kick by Roberts is used. Kick upfield hits crossbar
Food for thought: http://thesunshineroom.com/2013/03/1...llel-universe/ re-tweeted by Jason deVos. The parallel universe where footie players critique our days at work. Remember this the next time you comment on a player who doesn't 'measure up'...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
Next time they pay to see me work I'll gladly allow them to critique me.
People don't pay to see me work, but they pay for my finished product, and I don't mind criticism, I think that if people said to players, 'hey man, you did great but you lose your mark in the middle third of the pitch a lot' the players wouldn't mind so much. When people are rude to me about what they don't like about my stuff, I tell them to give me my goods back and never contact me again.
I am lucky enough to work for myself, but imagine if your boss were to watch you (who does pay you) and yelled out 'WTF are you doing? TWO hands when doing data entry, what is wrong with you!??' I would guess that you would have a problem with that.
Don't give me the 'they make $xxx' because 1. They don't make that much in MLS 2. Even if you made $1m/year, you likely STILL wouldn't take that crap.
Thanks guys, this is all so interesting because my son started with a new academy and wherever he played before they would put him either AM or up top as he was usually one of the better players, with the academy (Futskills, it is amazing) they put him on DM, CB, RB/LB where he seems to be doing really well (he plays all positions in practice but in games he defends)
Kind of interesting to see my 'hunch' about players ending up as strikers in college because they are the best around isn't too far from the truth.
There is a distinct lack of urgency in these rumored signing from Central and South America. Almost ready to put those rumors in my "Shit GMs Say" folder.
Hearing a drunken, overweight, middle-aged man yell at you about how to do your job that you train almost every day for must get tiresome. Then again, playing a game for a living for more money than most people ever see in a lifetime must be the best thing ever. Give and take.

Richter will be first test of Onstad's eyes as a scout

I actually wasn't saying anything about how much they make.
Teams pay the players for the finished product, I pay for my personal enjoyment and entertainment.
My boss critiques my performance all the time. It's called a performance review and they are aimed at making employees better. If you're saying we are bosses because we pay to watch the players...well then I believe daily performance reviews are warranted, especially in TFC's case.
