Andrew Ornoch may sign with TFC???? What do you think?

Didn't they have a sniff at him before? He could be a serviceable bench player, but probably nothing much more than that.

Edit: I think this is a clearer link, no? http://blogs.thescore.com/footyblog/2010/11/30/the-footy-show-podcast-nov-30th/

I think he could be a lot more than just servicable, this is a player who played along side Cann at Esjberg and was arguably a better player at that club, and we all saw how well Cann made the transistion, not that Andrew's will be the same, but I think his chances of being impactful at the MLS level are being under estimated.

I agree and to add to that during Olympic qualifiers he was one of our top players alongside Johnson, Jakovic, Ricketts and Hainault and three of those 4 are MLS stars, the other just signed for a top romanian team

Only Johnson is an MLS "star".

Jakovic had a terrible 2010 season (albeit with a terrible team) and Hainault was ok at Houston.

Well Jakovic was injured and I think his play at the international level speaks for itself. Hainault led Houston in minutes last season.

If Andrew does sign with TFC, he will give them a very useful player. Its always hard to predict how useful (we still don't know who the coach will be) but I think he would be a good fit. He can play in a few different spots and might be a good fit at one of the two striker spots. He's had a pretty good season in Holland thus far after going a couple of years struggling to get regular playing time.

If he does come, i do hope it happens early in the January transfer window so he is with the team right from the start of pre-season so he has a good long time to get acclimated.

True, but you'd have to assume all 3 would be walk on's to TFC's roster of last year.

Not that Ornoch will be an all-star, but his chances of being a everyday regular for the Reds is quite a reality if he does sign on, you gotta think his versatility will get him on the pitch as soon as possible, and the familiarity with guys like Cann, Nana, and JDG will only help his progression.

Plus it would thrust him right back into the forefront of CMNT if he can succeed at TFC.

I think Ornoch will be a fan favourite in Toronto not only because hes a local guy but he has some flair and he seems a pretty driven guy. Im really confused by his lack of playing time with clubs... with Esbjerg he was continually scoring for their reserves and the coach never played him then he goes to Heracles gets into the first match he's available and then never plays again and it seems with his new club he's just getting 20 minutes a game but he still has a good goal rate. Andrew's best and preferred position is central mid it'll be interesting to see where TFC uses him

Ok, backup the truck here.

Maybe I've missed something but where is the connection between Ornoch and TFC in those podcasts? They do a short interview and nothing is mentioned about him coming here.

Anyone?

Ha, I have not read anything that suggests he was coming to TO as well. Maybe the OP just wanted to stir the pot a little bit. I was trying to hunt down a blog or news article but have just shot blanks.
