TFC would get him to play just as effectively as the rest of the team. Which is not.
Stephen Hart finds a way to get inexpensive players to play effectively. TFC has their president trawling through Transfermarkt looking for out-of-contract players regardless of cost (instead of hiring somebody for $100k to $200k who doesn't need to trawl through Transfermarkt because he already knows it by heart, and knows the hidden gems and how to get them).
Woohoo Oso. Nobody start the car regardless of what happens. Just slink out of here as quietly as you can.

Come on Ayo, stay onside there.
Not at all inspiring, but a win.
We won! We won!
We beat a CPL team barely.
#PushTheCar, engine won't start...
It didn't because we had 4 quality players on the pitch (I still think Shaff as left forward is a better option) that HFW couldn't match.
We don't beat Forge with that performance, let alone L'ImpAct.
BTW, looking at this chart, the next round is at BMO.
Bradley, Jiminez and Petrasso all looked good on the goal, not just Shaff and Oso. One Soccer just showed the replay

From what i was able to catch of the game, not an impressive performance from TFC. But the worst player in the game was the score keeper who awarded both TFC goals to the wrong players.
Good night folks, it's been fun chatting.
Thanks very much for the TFC app. My brain is so fried these days I forgot about the game even though I remembered it this morning. The notification of game start from the TFC app saved me. So I stayed late at work to watch it, rather than being stuck cycling home at the time and missing most of the game.
Adam Jenkins definitely has the superior voice to Wheeler and that makes all the difference. I want someone who is easy on the ears, not that guy who sits at the bar and tries to make sure everyone can hear just how much he knows about sports.
Brennan also miles better then Dunfield
I just watched the highlights - did we seriously almost lose this match?! And Bradley's reaction to their goal as he stands in no man's land... wow. Just wow.
I think this is unfair.
We still won the game and there are some youth players who will undoubtedly be a useful part of TFC going forward.
Now that said, if you told me there was no point of fielding a mainly youth-based 11 in the long run because development is painful and if they work out they usually leave for greener pastures, I would agree.
But I don’t think anybody is under any illusions. Bob is using borrowed time to run these guys out until we rebuild our roster over the next few windows. To me, this is better than the alternative of rushing into signings or watching MLS lifers like Nick DeLeon.
We’ll see if it all works out but at face value it’s a reasonable given the hand we were dealt (bad Curtis contracts and an aging core)
I think Bob is giving them every opportunity to show that they either belong on the team as a reliable player (McNaughton) or they don't (Nelson). At least unlike in the past with guys like Chapman & Fraser, these players are getting more than their fair shot at making a case for themselves.
Kerr had a good game, I thought.
