At the same time, what a bunch of turmoil for nothing, eh? Gets sold to Forest, helps them promote, gets loaned back to TFC and then Vancouver, then returns to Forest only to get sold back to TFC? It was all so unesessary in retrospect. He could have just stayed in Toronto the whole time. I respect that he gave Europe a go, but disappointed he didn't take the Red Star deal, although I get the allure of returning home and putting an end to the whole ordeal. Must be nice to finally have the stability, but again it's kind of ironic to go through it all only to rediscover what you had all along. I am sure he'll always hold fond memories of that promotion clinching run. Aside from that, probably it's two forgettable years. Really thought the Championship would be a possibility for him. At least, he'll retire knowing he took the chance instead of wondering what could have been. nolando, Obinna, costarg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hamstring surgery next week, will be out for 3 months per TFC. That would mean he’ll be back towards end of June. https://x.com/torontofcmr/status/1770179369161441313?s=46&t=spIaqlQfufAO3HreB1455Q Corazon, nolando, johnyb and 13 others 2 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, Richie should not playing again until the end of the summer. Knowing TFC, they’ll risk it and he’ll be out for the rest season. Unfortunately, Canada should look to find another option to contain try to contain my guy Garnacho. Just please not Alistair Johnston.

I'd say TFC have much bigger problems than oso. Edit: who scored has him at 8th. Fotmob has him ranked 3rd behind the italians. I dont live and die by ratings but surely 3rd is enough to say, "lets solve the crisis of other positions/players before oso" Edited May 3 by Bigandy Ivan, rkomar, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people like you are fooled by those stats. In the actual grand scheme of things, he is pretty much useless. At least Longstaff is progressive and Flores breaks up play. What does invisible Osorio do other then run around and chase shadows? Complete waste of $1.4 million that could be used on a real player of actual influence.

Laryea will get caps moving forward, but I don't know if rushing him back is in the best interest of the team, let alone the player. I would be okay with another player getting the opportunity in his absence. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete waste of $1.4 million that could be used on a real player of actual influence. This is such a silly take and speaks to a complete lack of understanding of how stats/scores work. Oso is #2 for xA, 3rd for xG, 2nd for chances created, 2nd for possessions won in the final 3rd. His rating is more to do with his attacking contributions than running the most. He isnt a guy whos best quality is how much he runs either so just a nonsense take. However, I am not defending oso by saying hes fantastic. I'm saying that if you're building the TFC squad, you would never say "Wow oso is statistically one of our best players. Akinola is one of our strikers. The problem is Oso." These are just opinions so to say Im completely wrong is too arrogant for me. However, I would go on a limb and say 98% of fans would want to solve the striker position rather than oso.
