Why didn't this occur to me before? The obvious solution to all our problems/needs coming into this season was to load up on Colorado Rapids MFs.

I just got word that it is Nick Lobrocca. I don't know who that is but whatever lol my source is rarely wrong

Sad to see Wynne go, but it was easy to see that coming.
Edwards is garbage. He is a dime-a-dozen lifelong MLS GK.

I wish I knew the inner-scoop about the CBA's affects on the ability to get players etc.

Trade smells smart to me. Labrocca can play wide left, left back, two-way mid....
He's a prototypical MLS player, a workhorse engine that doesn't quit. So that,. right there, is something we need.
I don't think the Edwards move is to save money, I just don't think Preki has any confidence in him when he knows Conway is a dependable keeper.
This is roster-building stuff. It's good. It should've happened weeks ago, and it still doesn't solve our striker situation (shamless related column plug : http://www.rednationonline.ca/The_So...0_column.shtml) but it's something.
I'm with flats - Preki is the MLS head coach with a solid record of making the playoffs, not me.
None of the moves this team has made appear to make a whole lot of sense, considering how threadbare our roster is. I'm just going to have faith that Preki knows what he is doing.
Even Mo, while he has done some highly questionable things, has never been THIS seemingly erratic. I have to assume there is either some sort of plan, or Preki has more faith in some of these lesser knowns and trialists than we do.

I am not shocked that Wynne has been moved. I am shocked that his stock dropped to the point that this Colorado kid was all that we could get in return.
This is a day far removed from Wynne playing in the Beijing Olympics and being on the subs bench for the Confederations Cup.
At the end of season two I thought he was poised for a breakout. He was in great form then and I thought he would be the next to follow Edu overseas.
How the mighty have fallen. Good luck Marvell in Colorado. Vya Con Dios.

Toronto sends D Marvell Wynne to Colorado to MF Nick LaBrocca and a draft pick, Insider has learned #tfc #mls 3 minutes ago via web
FYI, Edwards made more money than Conway last year...

sweeeet, we've got an abundance of draft picks....
TFC is making moves that would otherwise be done by a team completely rebuilding instead of looking to make the playoffs this year.
On that note, I'm glad Wynne is fucking gone. Maybe the extra air will get his crosses to go higher than shin level. On the other hand, we got pennies in return.
Mo sucks
