shermanator Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Couldn't find an actual thread on the roster for the upcoming qualifiers, so here's a dedicated one where we can panic once the roster is released tomorrow. Anyways, Kurt Larson says that Will Johnson won't be on the roster. To me, that's a big time shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If he was fit he would be one of the 1st names on the gamesheet, especially in Honduras, he did a reasonable job in similar conditions tonight, I really don't understand his omission if true!

I have a theory that he will go down to Honduras and play injured. As much as I love the Fury, for De Guzman at 35, his club career doesn't matter as much as the #CANMNT at this point. He may be willing to risk further injury to play in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aloyol Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If true, I think we might reach a Voyageurs consensus on this baffling omission.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Not fully match fit? When was the last time he played a full 90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenaline11 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Maybe Floro has found a new midfielder who has Canadian citizenship which none of us know about. Otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He last played a full 90 in the Canadian Championship final on June 29th. I don't think he's a surefire starter even when fit, but he is definitely someone who should be in the squad. I wouldn't be surprised if TFC were not enthused with the idea of letting their recently healed player play 2 intense matches in less than ideal conditions, and communicated as much to Floro.

Yeah I'd imagine if it's true it's a fitness/potential for re-injury concern and not a tactical choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Will Johnson played 71 mins vs Philly and 15 mins vs Orlando. He'll likely start vs Mtl on Sat. There is no reason why Floro shouldn't call up WIll Johnson. WJ can be used as a sub if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 It's gotta be a fitness issue. And it wouldn't be a new precedent for Floro to call de Guzman while he is missing games for the Fury. He did that last year as well, I believe for the Belize qualifiers. De Guzman was injured again in the Belize qualifiers. Don't think that will happen here though, I believe de Guzman was expected to be out through mid September.

Guest Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Well, the only logical explanation I can come up with is Floro is making some room for Cristante. Hype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Even if that's what it was, which I doubt it is, we don't have the depth to drop a guy like Will Johnson. Hutchinson, Arfield, Cristante, Edgar? Straith? PIETTE? None of these players are better than Will Johnson. It makes so little sense I still refuse to believe it. All reports were that Will Johnson was feeling well after his recovery and was even ready to feature in Houston, but Vanney had to burn his subs. I really hope he hasn't had an injury set back.

Floortom Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Really hope this isn't true. He's playing and fit enough. Even if he wasn't fit I would still take him over guys like Piette and Straith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait what? Did you just say johnson was better than arfield and hutchinson? This is the biggest set of games we have in 4 years. I dont care if tfc asks to hold johnson back. You tell them to shove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
