Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 You can remove Borman from the roster as he is part of the re-entry draft. Here is a list of all of the players. http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2011/11/mls-announces-players-left-available-for-re-entry-draft.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 You can remove Borman from the roster as he is part of the re-entry draft. Always on the cards when Yourassowsky's name wasn't on the waivers list, given the emergence of Ashton Morgan. Have to wonder at this point whether Yourassowsky and Bouchiba got two seasons guaranteed. Technically Borman could still return despite being in the re-entry draft because the process can be used to chisel a player down to a lower salary but in Borman's case that seems highly unlikely.

Keegan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Maybe they feel Yourassowsky should get a chance to finish off the Champions League since after all he did score the winner in the Nutrilite. Theres no way he'll last the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Don't think there is room for that kind of sentiment at the pro level unless the player is seen as being an absolute legend and there would be a backlash from the supporters if he were cut from the roster. Only Danny Dichio has approached that kind of popularity so far. The fine print of the new CBA is probably worth a look though for whether and how players on "guaranteed" deals can be released during training camp.

Keegan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well it doesn't really matter does it? If Winter wants to make the classy move and keep a player around before we get knocked out vs. LA before the season even starts.. then he can waive him or whatever.

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I seriously doubt that angle is even part of Winter's thinking. There need to be at least two credible left backs on the roster so either Borman or Yourassowky was always likely to hang around at this point. From what I can see after a bit of googling players over 24 need three years experience in MLS to automatically have a guaranteed contract. Think that means Yourassowsky is still potentially only on a semi-guaranteed deal where there is more scope for being placed on waivers up to July 1st. Only one guaranteed deal can be bought out per off-season including DPs so there isn't much leeway on players who qualify in that regard once a contract option is picked up. The question I would have is whether nothing can be done on the status of Bouchiba, Williams and Cann until they are officially fit to play again? Given all three lack three years experience in the league they are all potentially only on semi-guaranteed deals at this point so maybe there was nothing to be gained by placing them on waivers.

torontoSC Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I don't really mind getting rid of Borman - it ensures that Ashtone Morgan will play and therefore improve under Winter for TFC and the national team. I like the Canadian feel that is going to be on our roster Young Canadian players: Morgan, Henry, Stinson, Lindsay, Makubuya Canadian veteran players: Cann, Dunfield, de Guzman I would really like to see Oscar Cordon play more. I think he has great potential and technical ability. TFC will likely use Hall at RB and move Eckersley in at CB with either Doneil Henry or Andy Iro (if he's still around).

ThiKu Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Being part of the re-entry draft doesn't mean he is off the roster yet. He can be re-signed at a lower price, and I think there are other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Set to sign 20 year old Bermudan international Reggie Lambe late of Ipswich Town. http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20111202/SPORT01/712029997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 That's probably just a training camp invite and a discovery claim at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM2 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Danleigh Borman taken by New England in the Re-Entry draft. So that leaves Andy Iro and the 10th pick in the Superdraft from the DeRo trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM2 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Reggie Lambe signs. TFC now have 27 players on their roster, plus 2 first round draft picks and possible Academy signings this doesn't leave much room unless a few more players are released or traded.

ThiKu Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does that make the roster 28 with the Plata signings or did MM2 already consider him on the squad? The draft is actually 4 rounds, not 2. 2 Superdraft, and 2 supplemental? I stand to be corrected. Michael Boxall was a supplemental pick, for example, and along with Plata many figured to be the "steal" of the draft - yes, Plata>Boxall. But Boxall did alright for himself IMO - though yes, Caps need an upgrade there. I suspect they'll be releasing a few more players to sign at least 1 more academy player, I predict both 1st rd draft picks will make the team.

lattes Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Is Williams in that number? Cann is supposedly better but maybe some dead weight they can lose if he isnt performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM2 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 ^The numbers include both Plata and Eck. Lindsay can be removed from the list as he will be on the injured reserve list for another season opening up another spot on the roster. Since I posted that 27 roster spots are taken, Sturgis was traded, minus Lindsay plus the two draft picks we are back to 27 players on the roster.

maccaliam Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 News from the UK says Andy Iro is going on trial with Nottingham Forest. I am in no way saying this is a particularly reliable source but I thought it is a rumour worth noting.
