narduch Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 TFC is a fucking farce. I hope the entire is front office is purged, once again. What a fucking joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Shaman Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The Sun newspaper chain has a big article today placing the blame for the Defoe situation mostly with his mother. Not sure if this is news to anyone but I had not really seen that angle discussed. I would have posted the link but for some reason this board will not let me.

shermanator Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I read the article, and it sounded like a load of crap to me. Just unnamed source after unnamed source. Hard to believe that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Kurt Larson is a fucking hack. He is the official TFC FO mouthpiece. That article was an embarrassment (even if its true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yes Defoe's mother is the reason TFC didn't make the playoffs despite the millions spent: http://www.torontosun.com/2014/10/23/mother-at-the-centre-of-jermain-defoe-drama-sources For a less interesting but more intelligent take on the season, here is Neil Davidson's assessment: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/how-to-fix-toronto-fc-after-another-year-of-no-playoffs-1.2060673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What hasn't been mentioned about Saturday's game is the lack of people in the stadium. Despite the announced 18 000 (probably paid tickets) it looked to be about 6000 or 7000 actually there and that is including about 500 travelling Montreal fans. And they are planning an expansion?

Trillium Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Grizzly.. a six to seven thousand attendance for NASL quality home team is very good, you should not look down your nose on that level of core support for lower level teams in the football pyramid. Ottawa and Edmonton front offices are probably looking at how TFC manages it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Toronto FC could become first Canadian super club? (Assuming these signings pan out and players play to their potential). TFC are couple of starters away of becoming one of top teams in MLS. You should probably make the playoffs first, or get to 40 points at least. Third. Plus, they shouldn't count their eggs before they are hatched. On the face of it these seem like good signings but it is one thing to sign a bunch of good players and another thing to form them into a good team. There are going to be a lot of well paid big egos in the dressing room and a lot of guys of varying abilities and styles which may or may not work together and which may or may not be suited to MLS play. This strategy of throwing money around and signing a lot big names at once has failed many times before. I told you so time, my favourite time of the year! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Predicting the failure of a Toronto-area sports franchise does not exactly take all that much clairvoyance. A rudimentary knowledge of history seems to suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barthez-Battalion Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Still bothers me a lot that we need a good winger now, and we had a good winger in Issey who we decided to trade away for Warner for some stupid reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Narcotic Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Easy decisions. Both will catch on somewhere next year, either as bench guys in MLS or NASL players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 With the return of Bright Dike, Wiedeman became expendable. Jeremy Hall is just too far down the depth chart to matter. Both of these guys aren't young anymore either so time to go. I'd also like to see Ryan Richter go, he's roughly the same age and is taking up space that one of the academy players or draft picks (we have 4 first rounders) could use.

We would need to get another dependable back-up right back before we do this. There has been a of of talk about losing Bloom in the expansion draft so we would need him all the more. I am not a fan of him either and I hope we can get depth better than what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some good FB prospects projected for the first round with way higher ceilings than Ryan Richter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Larsen reporting Wiedeman and Hall will not be renewed. When TFC signed Hall, no fans from his former teams could believe TFC were so stupid. After about 2 games, it became clear why. Talent identification was just terrible at TFC.
