rob.notenboom Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Here's hoping all three of them do well. Adekugbe needs to be playing so here's hoping he claims a spot and gets some good minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think league one is the best we can hope for if we want him to get loaned out to an envinornment that sees him get playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurtado getting more playing time is probably down to Mattocks leaving, Earnshaw retiring, Blas Perez going on international duty. He has a strike rate of 1 goal every 11 games.

How many goals he score this season? Re: Adekugbe, why are we assuming he's going to England? Is there a source who's said that? Can't find any indication of where he's going in Weber's tweets, which seems to be the major sources of info. Robo said in today's media scrum that Sam would be going out for "a couple of months". I think that implies a league that's not currently in a summer break. My guess is scandinavia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRM Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hurtado's overall game and ability playing forward has improved dramatically this year. No he hasn't lit up the goals but neither did our DP forward. It is night and day compared to last year. Still a long way to go but way better. A summer league might just be Scandinavia like you suggest. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be one of those training things that some players go to with European clubs, normally during MLS off season. I don't expect Adekugbe to play competitive games. Which is sort of a trial too.

shermanator Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 So uh, what to make of this Tweet by Marcus Haber? Maybe TFC will sign both Ricketts and Haber just to further infuriate the TFC faithful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Columbus probably needs a striker with Kei Kamara gone.......probably wishful thinking on my part but TFC bringing in Haber & Ricketts would give us too many strikers (unless they are getting rid of Jozy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 If TFC sign Haber & Ricketts, I just worry that it will cut short the progress that Hamilton & Babouli have been making. I also suspect that if they play Ricketts as a striker (and maybe they are not planning to, but as right sided winger to balance off the Morgan & Lovitz options on the left, which wouldn't be so bad), he will be #3 on Giovinco's list of favourite teammates to shout "you did the wrong thing, you idiot!" at (Endoh & Delgado being #1 and #2, respectively - I finally watched Saturday's game and noticed Giovinco having a go at Endoh again late in the first half for making another wrong decision with the ball. Ricketts has the same tendencies, but unlike the other two is a bit past the developmental stage of his career) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I don't mind the Haber signing: he's good at hold up play as a target man should Altidore continue to be an injury issue. Ricketts used as a winger is okay . To me, it's better than seeing the likes of Robbie Findley and Herc Gomez on the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 What about the possibility of him signing with Columbus? They need to shake things up. This would also be a lower pressure situation than a veteran CanMNT player returning to a Canadian MLS team and expected to be an instant All-Star.
