I'm pretty sure other teams can't steal your players. However, I do agree that their shouldn't be a limit on who you can promote. That's just asinine.

However, I do agree that their shouldn't be a limit on who you can promote. That's just asinine. They can take your leftovers. Clubs are only allowed to sign a max. of 4 players (2 GA + 2 DEV) per year so they could sign your 5th best player. Of course, that's an unlikely scenario and the more likely scenario is that your 2 Generation Adidas spots are filled from a prior year (GA contracts last 3 years - unless certain benchmarks are met and accelerate the player out of GA) and you have 3 good players. Since you can only sign 2 of them to development contracts (the annual academy development contract quota) the 3rd player leaves to sign for another club.

I think in the future, with Kerfoot in the scene, we'll probably see restrictions like that go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 TFC defeat Columbus 3-2! From the link posted by Rdoze above: Toronto FC 3-2 Columbus Crew: After scoring five goals yesterday, Columbus picked up right where they left off. It took just nine minutes for the Crew’s Chris Davis to open the scoring and give the Crew a 1-0 lead, but Toronto fired back with three straight goals. In the 13th minute, Toronto’s Matias Naalband equalized, while Jon-Michael Vieria (40th) and Eric Ngo (44th) combined to give Toronto a 3-1 lead. The Crew found the net just once more in the 80th minute when Tyler Ranalli scored, but it wouldn’t prove to be enough for the Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Toronto lose the 7th place match to Chicago: Toronto FC 1-2 Chicago Fire: After a disappointing loss last night, Toronto looked to be out for redemption in the early going. Oscar Cordon scored in jus the 3rd minute and gave Toronto an early 1-0 lead. Just after the half Chicago was able to tie things up, which made for a very exciting finish. With the game still tied in stoppage time, Chicago found a game winning goal in the final moments from Peter Beasley. Apparently this Chicago Fire team was a mish-mash of a bunch of affiliated clubs from places like Missouri and Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 So the boys went.....1W-4L? Loads of scoring this tourny, not just from TFC but in all games. Nice to see..... These teams should be getting together more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC07 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Which players on this team has the potential to be a TFC player in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Couldn't really tell you for sure. Eric Ngo seems to have a knack for scoring (both at this tourny and in CSL Reserve play) and he's listed as a mid, maybe he's one of the better offensive players?
