deschamp86 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2014/11/toronto-fc-exercise-options-15-players De Ro's option declined. I'm guessing he'll be back but with a reduced salary. He's on what right now? 100k? $173,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2014/11/toronto-fc-exercise-options-15-players De Ro's option declined. I'm guessing he'll be back but with a reduced salary. He's on what right now? 100k? I hope he will be back but I doubt it. He is 2 games away from playing 100 games with TFC and one game away from tying Frei for most games in a TFC jersey with 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Why would anyone want DeRo back this year? What did he do on the pitch last year? How did his "leadership" guide TFC to success. Please don't sign him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Why would anyone want DeRo back this year? What did he do on the pitch last year? How did his "leadership" guide TFC to success. Please don't sign him again. Because the roster has to be filled out with bodies, some who won't play at all. If he takes a big pay cut it might as well be him. He serves a purpose from a marketing stand point as he's probably one of the few names that's recognized by the General public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 We have 4 first round picks so we need to keep room open for those guys. Plus we need to replace Henry with a solid, experienced CB and that 173K in savings from DeRo leaving will come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 DeRo will probabley come back to TFC as a Trainer similar to the role that Brennan had. . Like JPG75 said we need to replace Henry with a solid CB and savings will help And I think the Frenchmen Collinn is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Wow. Bloom unprotected, but they protect Warner and Creavalle? I don't understand unless Bloom requested this to go to Orlando to be closer to his family. I told Caps fans that they would be very happy with Laba. Unfortunately, it looks like we got very little back for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Wow. Bloom unprotected, but they protect Warner and Creavalle? I don't understand unless Bloom requested this to go to Orlando to be closer to his family. I don't understand the surprise around Bloom. He's an adequate RB. That's about it. Creavalle could fill in for him in a heartbeat (and probably Warner too if need be) and he can also play other positions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Bloom is dependable and cheap, that's the draw for him. Not great, but can be an everyday RB for most likely under 100K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Bloom is dependable and cheap, that's the draw for him. Not great, but can be an everyday RB for most likely under 100K He's good for his price point, but he's not "good" in terms of talent. I doubt he's coveted all that much across the league.

Yohan Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 He's good for his price point, but he's not "good" in terms of talent. I doubt he's coveted all that much across the league. you'd be surprised how many MLS teams would like a half decent fullback on min salary. you can never have too much depth, esp for cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Agreed on Bloom. Kid is cheap and the exact type of talent you want to keep around. Saying that... This is the expansion draft and there are better options out there as well as Orlando already has the RB spot covered in Rafael Ramos. It's one of those risks you play, like Caldwell.

Obinna Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think Bloom showed this year he is a starting quality full back in MLS. He wouldn't look out of place on any starting 11 in my opinion. It is not that he offers a tremendous deal going forward, but he is a decent defender, adequate in possession, and just all around steady, dependable and consistent. Sometimes, that is worth it. Not every team needs a DeAndre Yedllin for a wing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 My guess is that Bloom is being paid a lot more next year. Also maybe they have a replacement already lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Bloom is decent, but not worth the hype given by some people. He is valuable because he is cheap, but he will not be cheap after his next contract because he has played so many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Bloom and Lovitz are both highly over-rated by TFC fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I agree Lovitz is overrated, but I don't see much whinging about him being exposed. I don't think Bloom is overrated. I just think he is actually worth something, rather than just be given away. Mock draft on MLS site has him going 3rd overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Apparently there is a rule that teams can only expose so many international players. It may explain why both Bekker and Moore were protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 TFC protected Bloom after Lovitz selected. So we each lose one - Lovitz, Bellouchy (Mezquida protected) and Pearce (Toia protected) selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Lovitz was selected by NYC in the expansion draft. No issues from my end, I always thought he was overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 And now TFC have traded for Lovitz in return for allocation money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oh FFS. We have 4 first rounders, could totally replace Lovitz in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
