jonovision Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Without working on his physique, I have my doubts whether Ayo can put together a fully healthy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned by @Dominic94 earlier in this thread, considering the amount of investment TFC put into him, I don't see him going anywhere this year and based on the eye test of what he showed last year, I can't see another team taking on that deal right now (the old Caps "braintrust" might have, but not this regime). toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seemed gassed, even as a sub. I don't see the Caps, who like high work rate channel runners and pressers up top, being a fit for him.

Bison44 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 He looked sluggish and bulky compared to before his injury last year. Maybe give him the benefit of the doubt based on his recocery, but if he isnt in tip top shape this spring..ieeeeee. gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he has a very important year for his personal career and TFC. I think with his salary of $671,875.00 he's sitting reallllllllly comfy for a 23yo who really hasn't done much. It was easy for Jayden to make that move to Europe because his wages were probably minimally increased, where Akinola might not want to make that move UNLESS if his salary is matched. So it's an absolutely massive season for him imo. Corazon and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) I think a lot is going to come down to his fitness. You see players like this that can dominate but once they get past a certain weight threshold, the quality drops significantly. It’s hard to tell from just photos but he looks relatively fit right now. Edited February 8, 2023 by Corazon toontownman and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redpunkfiddle Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Maybe we can send him on a trip to Montreal to figure it out. I heard Hernan Losada has a scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgkiss Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I think we can all agree that lean muscle is much better for most professional sports athletes. Maybe it was his dedication to healing his knee and strengthening the muscles around it (and the rest of his body). Perhaps that year off he had little to do and so he just worked out all the time? I bet his production would go up dramatically though - if he was able to develop more lean muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Good finish by Ayo against LA Galaxy tonight. He's actually looked pretty good as a second half sub. Kadenge, johnyb, sebdeserio and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall his contract was up after his breakout year so they signed him to a U22 initiative slot that allows a minor cap hit . I think they expected to get a productive season and then sell him on to Europe for mint. Metro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Only took Insigne 34 minutes before being subbed off injured. Looks like Akinola will get some extended minutes tonight after all. Playing out wide left.

Corazon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The good news for Ayo is that Diomande has been basically non existent this first half. Not a lot of service so far. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
