.......Anyway, my point with the last post was that some of the expectations of him are a bit too high and off the top from his totals last year you need to knock off 3 goals as I'd be very surprised if he would be allowed to take penalties. TFC paid almost 10x more for Defoe so I can guarantee you they will be giving him every opportunity on a silver platter to get all the service needed to succeed. I'd guess TFC might start the year with Gilberto and Defoe up top, and might initially see some success but as time goes and if the goals dry up a bit, it will be Gilberto, not Defoe who will likely be the casualty in sitting or being moved out of position. I also appreciate your formations are what will bring TFC the best success, not Gilberto so hopefully I wasn't rambling too much without taking that into consideration!
