I hope they don't sit on their laurels while other teams keep improving. Although TFC have invested heavily in their Academy and therefore Canadian youth, it is indeed disappointing that, on the surface at least, they have not made more effort to retain or sign more Canadian players..... I realize that most TFC fans just want to win and are less concerned about Canadian development but you can do both. Not protecting Edwards is an example...he was only the team's brightest young player, but they choose to protect 3 CBS instead gator, Stryker911, maccaliam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If true, Petrasso, Edwards and Piette across the middle for Montreal under Garde could be very good for the NT!

Bison44 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was sort of thinking he might fit into Beitashour's RW/RB spot with TFC if Hasler wasnt already penciled in for those minutes. But if he gets minutes at Montreal its better for everyone!! Obinna and CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the big problem is that the gap in quality between academy/USL and MLS is just too great, or at least this is how managers like Robbo and Vanney seem to see it, and as a result our young prospects are not getting much of a chance with the senior sides. They need an intermediary option that challenges and helps them take the next step towards MLS. CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE and dbailey62 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the FFP hammer, QPR are finally trimming numbers. Very good thing for Petrasso, IMHO. Better to be playing every week in League One/Two than not playing at QPR. And frankly, I think that is his level right now. Agree Doug! When he wasn't getting in to the 1st team squad and stopped featuring for the U23's where he was doing quite well I figured something was in the works! I'm sure as it was posted that this is a mutually agreed contract termination, good for both parties, I think he'll do well in MLS if he can stay healthy!

Bison44 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Osorio and Chapman have a hard enough time finding minutes, Kaye would be in the same boat. Thats why I didnt mind seeing Edwards move on, very crowded Midfield with not much room for error at TFC. Plus if they wanted kaye they wouldnt have let him go in the first place.

Kaye was 15th on his team in minutes in USL last season. He isn't even a USL starter yet. I get that people want Canadians to move up the ranks, but let's be realistic. Kaye isn't even a top 50 player in USL right now, you think he will ever see the field for the best team in MLS? Let the kid show out in USL and earn his promotion.

I suppose we should note that he also missed part of the USL season with the Gold Cup which most of his teammates wouldn’t have been away for. Although I still don’t see TFC getting him back any time soon I was more hopeful about Petrasso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 If he get's an offer I'd like him to stay in England over joining Montreal at this point in time. Try to climb back to Championship level again, that look doable for the kid. You can always come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had some injury setbacks and got lost in the shuffle at QPR. I stand by my statement, the guy can play at an MLS level and if he shows well why not get a sniff? He's too young and skilled to be talking about League Two England... Zem, Bertuzzi44, Northvansteve and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
