toontownman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Wouldn't hate this. They have a solid up and coming coach and are investing in solid players. Also an outside bet of making the playoffs this year on 6 points off. Xavier., dyslexic nam, Grandbloke and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I guess TFC's angle on this right now would be that up to $1 million out of any transfer fee received can be pumped back into salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approve My Account Pls Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I could see TFC convincing him to run it back for one more season, this teams clearly in a win-now mode with all the moves being mentioned and Richie would be a massive part of it.

I’m not sure about that. They have a replacement already on the roster (Auro) and they might want to use the extra cap space on other positions. I could totally see TFC cashing in now. gator and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More just making the point that theoretically, one more year with TFC which could add an MLS Cup and Qatar to his resume would definitely raise value from the clubs perspective.

theaub Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Basically the perfect move for him. Forest struggled to start the year but have been very good since match number 8 or so. Grandbloke, toontownman, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdog Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I was hoping he’d make a step up, hope it goes through! It would have been fun to see him with TFC this year but the move will help him become a better player. At least we’ll still have good ontariah boy Auro at RB.

toontownman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) The more I think of it the more I like it. Also gives minutes to more Canadians at TFC like Auro. Beat me to it @Bdog!

Except he's been dominant every season but last, which was a throwaway season for the club. Don't think a prem move would be the right one right away but he could easily slot in at a mid table Bundesliga/Serie A level team.

Laryea has not been dominant - he's a good player at MLS level but he's never been an all star, made a best XI or been in the conversation for top players in the league. Same comment goes for Budesliga / Serie A. My point isn't that he cant play at that level, it's simply that those clubs aren't scouting MLS to bring in non-stars in their mid-20s. It's just not going to happen Edited January 5, 2022 by Floortom grigorio, mowe and Bertuzzi44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not going to happen IMO he's been a top 3 right-back the 2 season before this one and talking heads like MLS Extratime talked about him as such. But I guess that isn't dominant awards wise. I think his play in CCL and internationally against Mexico and the US would be taken into consideration too and would've be a big plus but I'm still a fan of the move.

He could easily settle into a mid table side in one of those leagues, especially ligue 1 or the bundesliga. I'd argue that Laryea has been dominant at his position in MLS. The championship is a not a good league to develop in, or to try and move your way up the latter in (outside promotion), especially at his age.

He’s 27 year old and has spent his entire career in MLS. I don’t know where this fantasy on this forum comes from about moving up into the elite leagues. Barring club promotion, this is likely to be as high a level as he ever gets. It’s really that simple. edit: and to add again - this is a really good move. The fact that people are upset that he's not getting Bundesliga or EPL interest is laughable.

grigorio Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 A few years back Richie was on the scrap heap at Orlando after burning through his early 20s and not making a mark professionally. The fact that some now are saying he shouldn’t go to the Championship (and become our player at a highest level in England) because he can “easily” slot into sides in the Bundesliga, Serie A or even the Prem is making my head spin. johnyb, gator, toontownman and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
