apbsmith Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I semi-retract my above post. We could def use WJ the last 15 mins if we need a goal. Hope their is an explanation. Someone from the media hopefully asks. Also, any chance he could be added to the HOME match!? Or are these rosters "final"? I mean what if Arfield gets a yellow in Honduras. :'(... would that allow us to add WJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If WJ is not there, it will be for a valid reason. I trust Floro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 These squad selection issues are ruining my zen. Also I didn't receive a notice about a media call so that makes me think there isn't one scheduled. If not, there won't be any answers from Floro on squad selection.

johnyb Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 My guess is it was WJ's decision. If it was Floro's decision we probably wouldn't hear about it until the roster was released and everyone got blindsided. The fact that a TFC reporter got wind of it shows there was a discussion involving WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's a health issue regarding recovery and travelling, I can't imagine WJ wanting to take a pass on those two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you comparing Atiba to Will though? Different class player. Will Johnson is a 2 time MLS Cup Champion, a 3 time MLS All Star, the 2008 MLS Goal of the Year winner, the 2013 Canadian Player of the Year and the 2013 Portland Timbers Supporters Player of the Year. When fit and healthy he is one of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the rapid improvement he has made over the course of the season and the skill set he brings to the attacking role in midfield, he certainly has pushed himself into the picture.

Some players on our team are always going to be on it because their quality benefits our team. Players such as Hutchinson, Johnson, and Hoilett should always be on the roster unless their club performance is extremely bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is Will Johnson is one of Canada's best players. Atiba is our best player, Will is right behind him. As far as statistics, it's what we use to judge players in sports. A players pedigree and ability is based on his statistics. Will has accomplished more than 99% of our CMNT pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Larson is correct and Will is not in this camp because he only recently returned from injury I will be very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i can understand why Ouimette is being called up ...floro is probably trying to ride with the same team more or less going into the final 2 games (For Chemistry purposes). However, with this being said..... I really dont understand how he is always basically a guarantee to be on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a fit Johnson is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth player, probably won't start, but has been decent when called upon by Floro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
