Scorpion26 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 So, Hutchinson should leave a Champions league team for the shit show that is TFC? Why would he ever do that?Well he not on a Champions League team right now but why come play in MLS because he would be playing in his country. He would be a top MLS Canadian player and hopefully draw even more fans. As he gets older gain experience to be a manager that's if he wanted to do so manage an MLS club. Come January I would like to see all Canadian MLS clubs push to bring him to the league. Why not have him join this league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finchster Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 As a fan of the caps I cannot take any satisfaction in this implosion, it's a damn shame for soccer in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Heard from a very reliable source that Bradley is disliked by many in the TFC room.. he's very hard on teammates and when you're not doing the business yourself and making $6 million a year that is going to happen. And we're bringing in an American coach who is going to play favourites with him it seems (2010 Preki anyone?). This could turn ugly if we don't win right away.

baulderdash77 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Great to see Ashtone Morgan starting for TFC tonight. I'm glad him getting pulled from the CMNT was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Red card for a professional foul for Morgan, so he won't be able to play with TFC on Saturday. Might as well ship him back to the national team camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Was a foul he needed to take after Hagglund's mistake too. Sucks for Morgan, finally get back in, and you have to take a red to cover for your CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I thought he could have caught him. He stopped running and chose to foul outside the box instead of running by his side as he entered the box and cutting down the shooting angle.

El Hombre Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I disagree. Le Toux had position on him and could have boxed Morgan out if he needed to. Originally I thought he could catch him, but he only would've been able to do something after it was too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Was a foul he needed to take after Hagglund's mistake too. Sucks for Morgan, finally get back in, and you have to take a red to cover for your CB. In fairness to Hagglund, his "mistake" on the play was kicking the ball into Le Toux's outstretched arm that was deliberately extended to block his pass. Which actually should have been a yellow on Le Toux and a foul in favour of TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think you are correct Gian-Luca, upon further review it looked like the ball came off of Le Toux's arm, Hagglund can't be blamed for that! As I wrote in another thread, Morgan took one for the team there and did real well to even catch him to prevent a clear one on one with the keeper!

As I wrote in another thread, Morgan took one for the team there and did real well to even catch him to prevent a clear one on one with the keeper! It was a bad clearance by Hagglund regardless of whether or not it hit Le Toux's arm (from the far away replay it looks to me like it came off his head but maybe there is a different angle/closer shot that shows otherwise). Nevertheless, Hagglund should not have put that ball anywhere near Le Toux. It was a horrible reception and control of the ball followed by a hesitation and poor clearance, a real error. I don't think Morgan can be blamed though. I think he might have caught him had he kept running but he slowed down a bit to pull him down. Le Toux was approaching the box so it would still have been risky to try to catch him and even if he caught him he might still have scored so he took the safest option in what was a split second decision. I don't think you can fault Morgan for that, indeed his red is fully on Hagglund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Even if TFC cut Defoe, he couldn't even sign in England now. He won't be able to play there until January. TFC should keep him and sell him on January 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I realize Vanney has only had one week in charge, but they play exactly like they did under Nelsen. The tactics are the same and the end results are the same too. At least he doesn't sugar coat it in the post game press conferences. But can he get the team to play differently?

Obinna Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Kinda hard for a team to change their style this late in the season in the midst of a playoff push. I'd say they are purely focused on getting results at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Narcotic Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I watched a fair bit of the Sacramento - Wilmington USL playoff game. Wilmington was completely overrun by Sacramento (featuring many ex-Ventura Country players ). Kaye looked dangerous when he was on the ball but at this point in his career he doesn't have the skill set to grind out a performance in a tough matchup like that. Given he played at TFCA and York, he probably hasn't been in a game like that for a long time. Aparicio came on in the second half but was pretty much anonymous (as he usually seems to be, bluntly). Overall, have to say the Wilmington experience was quite successful for TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well, they made the playoffs, although Toronto did create some roster instability. Ended up firing a coach midseason. Had to scramble to get some emergency signings and hope that they pan out quickly after TFC pull out Roberts and Hamilton who played a big part. And Lovitz after few games. If I was GM of Hammerheads, I'd be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was GM of Hammerheads, I'd be pissed. I can't believe I am defending TFC :-) but that is the nature of being a farm club. If you want some good players cheap you have to live with the possibility they could get called up at any time. It will definitely be easier when the MLS teams establish their own reserve teams in USLPro because being part of the same club it will bother them less but no one forced Wilmington to sign this agreement with TFC.

I get it. But I think Wilmington was under the impression that loans will be long term loans with recall only on emergency basis, not just at parent team's convenience.
