Sign said as much, this is it. the midfield is too crowded, Okello, Oso, Bradley, Delon, Delgado and Priso for 2 spots. Atleast TFC is finally taking youth development seriously. I’d imagine another midfielder will be moved out as the rotation seems to be Bradley, Oso, Priso, Delgado and Okello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an American utility player taking minutes from Canadians...but that in itself isn't "prick" worthy. Perhaps you can't stand him because of his views on vaccines and medications? He got a lot of hate from that a few weeks back. Pretty weird thing to hate someone for IMO, but that's 2021 for you. He has some pretty big balls to come out and say what he did, I'll tell you that. 16 minutes ago, yomurphy1 said: What did he do to you? He's a serviceable player who can play a number of positions relatively well. There's always room for that on a team. I really like how his game has evolved with age, actually. He's definitely serviceable and scored some big goals for Toronto. You don't want to rely on him as a starter, but he can have an impact off the bench, he's not a big cap hit, and seems to fit in well with the squad. Has been with the team through some big moments. Very much in the Justin Morrow category for me, actually. He's a keep in my opinion. General (probably unpopular) comment: I know we are Canadian supporters first and foremost, but the whole hating on American TFC players schtick is getting pretty old. Some of the opinions on players like Delgado and DeLeon are so out-of-touch. Zavaleta is in that category as well, in fact. I mean, he's on (or was on) a salary too large for his contribution, no argument there, but played in some big games for the club and is more serviceable than we let on, but you would think he's hot garbage and wouldn't make the bench in the CPL the way we talk about him sometimes.

Obinna Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 As for Liam Fraser being loaned to Columbus, I don't have a good feeling about that. Generally it doesn't go well when you get loaned to a team better than yours for playing time. We'll see though. Good luck to him! johnyb and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All because he's "selfish" (in your opinion) for not putting things in "his" body he disagrees with. Let the man live bro!

sebdeserio Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Deleon is a runner that can sometimes (not often) contribute offensively. Doesn't bring much and hopefully as the season goes his play time diminishes in favour of the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick doesn't have the legs he use to in his younger says with DC united. That's why he plays more central now as opposed to out wide like he did with DC. He's evolved by adding some cleverness to his game. Still, I hope guys like Okello and Rutty can push him out of the team. Same with Endoh.

gator Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I like this move for Fraser, if he is good enough he will play, that's all a player can ask, he wasn't good enough for Vanney and now the midfield is very crowded, I see a good player there and this is his chance to potentially prove it!

I don't much care for the public health opinion from a guy who's job is to kick a ball. Yes, one must be a complete idiot to be an anti vaxxer in this day and age.

El Hombre Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 For the record, I definitely think a bunch of people are pricks without hating them. And personally, I don't like Deleon because he's a selfish player on the field. Watch him with the ball. He'll pick his head up, look around and see two or three open players and then decide to take it himself. He doesn't have the pedigree or the skill to get away with that. Plays a lot like Ikone and I think he's a prick too. Has nothing to do with his personal choices, so there's no need to try to make that into a story (again).

I hope you're right. I see a good player in Fraser as well. It was mentioned he may be brought in as cover for another midfield player. Considering the Crew and TFC have done business before, I am guessing a successful loan could lead to a trade, which would probably be the best case scenario for Fraser. This may be a high risk, high reward situation for him. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLeon is definitely not a selfish player, especially in the way is Ikone, so that comparison falls flat. There are many, many players I would consider selfish before DeLeon, that's not his game. In all my times on these boards I never encountered anyone complaining about DeLeon being selfish (until now). It is not often he turns over the ball because he holds it for to long. If anything, he chooses the right times to hold on to the ball, despite having open players around him. That's not selfish, that's smart. That's what I meant about how he's become cleaver over the years. His decision making is actually a strength, not a weakness. That's where players like Ikone need to improve.

Stryker911 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 In regards to Fraser, there is the connection with Bezbatchenko being at Columbus. He may be one the guys that believe on him and tty to get him an opportunity. johnyb, Gian-Luca, Ruffian and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a good move for him, its a depressing move for TFC fans since it means we're more likely to be stuck with Bradley playing every minute unless he gets injured. Okello & Priso are fine to play alongside a slower ball distributor, but Fraser was really the heir apparent to Bradley who is becoming an increasing liability with every match. I believe Fraser would be cup-tied for Columbus' CCL play, assuming he is loaned to them and Columbus makes it through (though they are in a much better position right now than TFC who need to somehow win 3-0 in Mexico with Bradley playing every minute). gator and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdog Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Deleon's mindset is stupid and dangerous, if everyone had his anti vaxxer mindset we would end up enjoying this pandemic for even longer. Makes zero sense and sets an awful example as a pro athlete, at least most sports fans have no idea who he is and didn't see the quote. h coach, TOcanadafan and LeoH037 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
