I'll thank you to not insult users intelligence for your lack of detail.
I honestly thought you were being half sarcastic as well as being correct. Looking at every bloody season of this team and the turnover it would be shocking not to see any turnover at all.
please keep it as civil as possible or infractions will be doled out.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Yeah, he's staying.

Never thought he was going to leave anyway. I think the decision whether he plays top-flight football or not was made a long time ago when came here (and at the beginning of the season no-less). Remember, he's getting bags of money he wouldn't get anywhere else in spite of his reappraisal.

Giovinco up for MVP and Newcomer of the Year. I'm kind of worried Drogba is going to win Newcomer even though it really wouldn't make sense with Giovinco winning MVP.

Giovinco not called up for upcoming Italy friendlies.
I saw Seba yesterday when I was parking underground at Maple Leaf Square to go to the Hockey Hall Of Fame Legends game. He was nice enough to stop and chat for a minute. I told him he's the best player we've ever had and look forward to watching him play for us for many years and he humbly thanked me. Nice guy.
Conte apparently not pleased that Pirlo is not playing in Italy, wonder if that'll have an effect on Gio
http://soccer.realgm.com/wiretap/328...-Could-Be-Over
Sort of sounds like Pirlo didn't respond to a call-up offer, but he also mentioned he would prefer him to play in Serie A to maintain his match form
Well Pirlo wasn't exactly playing here either...
Goal of the year voting down to the final 8. Brackets are fixed to give people chances against the Seattle homerism.
Looking like Seba's NYRB goal vs. Martins (which isn't that great a goal actually).
Giovinco wins Newcomer of the Year.
I'm hearing it's official. MVP for Giovinco. Early December media event skedded at the ACC to confirm.
They are definitely showing Giovinco the love on the GOTY contest site. Longest highlight by far, incl. the de Vos quote "MLS Goal of the Year, calling it right now," the Wileman quote that the goal likely secured TFC's first-ever playoff berth, and the super extended highlight at the end, mentioning that Seba left Rome that morning.
If it's enough to counter Seattle's ballot stuffing, I don't know, we shall see.
As much as I love Giovinco and what he has done for TFC. I think it would be a bit of a travesty of Kei Kamera doesn't win the MVP this year. Columbus destroyed us and he wa the engine of that team. More goals if you take penalties out and looks like they will be in the MLS final due to his play.
God bless Kei Kamara, but he doesn't move the needle point.one of one iota when it comes to marketing MLS, either at home or abroad.
Giovinco, on the other hand, sells the game here, lights up MLS highlight reels, elevates a valuable franchise into their first-ever playoff appearance and, because he is in the frame to play for Italy, makes quality players abroad think more favourably about coming to MLS.
That's why he'll win.
Personally, I'd rather see him receive just one award - MLS champions medal. But it's a start.
I mean Giovinco is also gonna win because he literally had the best MLS season of all time...
Kamara is great but Giovinco is going to run away with this easily.
Vincitore, vincitore. Cena di pollo.
Grazie, tuttiquanti. Sono qui tutta la settimana.
E, capolavoro, Seba.

If we're talking about the goals, half of Kamara's goals are tap-ins, other half, headers from 6 yards out. Until he can score 30yard freekicks, Kei can forget about counting Seba's penalties. The assists numbers isn't even close, so no debate Seba's a better creator this year. Seba's a more complete scorer,better creator, technically better, and doesn't need to rely on support as much as Kei. Not trying to take away what Kei had done this season, which he has been amazing, but Giovinco is obviously the better player this year. Kei has his chance to grab the golden boot when they played us in the 2nd last game of the season, too bad he couldn't score, so I am not sure why he's bragging about winning the golden boot as well. For me, Giovinco should win the MVP, Kei is 2nd but not even close.
Kamara was not as dominant or as good a player as Seba during the season.
And during the season is what MVP is based upon.
What does chicken dinner have to do with Seba?

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

FourFourTwo has Seba on it's Best 100 Footballers in the World list at #94.

Can't lie, I found it exciting to see him listed there.
Excluding other factors (travel the day of and that it secured a playoff spot for us), I still think Giovinco's is better. Nemeth makes a number of nice moves to beat his guys but they're never actually that tight on him, he has a decent amount of space to work with. I see Giovinco's run being more tecnically difficult; splitting two defenders including shrugging one off his back and then selling Zubar a hot dog when he closes in. But it's mostly the finish that makes Giovinco's more impressive: weak foot, running away from goal, rising the whole way. It's a perfect shot and I think if he scores it at the other end (thus giving a better angle on the shot) he gets twice the praise he got for it already.
Nemeths goal should have been stopped by the goalie, it was a routine save that he somehow blundered. Seba's goal was much better and should easily win this.
