Unnamed Trialist Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He's been frozen out at Espanyol I guess for injuries and also not being highly effective. But the team in general is not effective in attack and whenever they do have talent they sell it too quickly. They have academy players like Melendo who must make far less and can do the same job. Fans will like how he plays, he's a ball talent and heady and intense. For me he's better as a playmaker on the outside of the midfield. If he links properly with those around him it'll make TFC attractive to watch. narduch and rkomar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 TFC had Alex McKechnie, the Raptors vice-president of player health and performance, check out the Argentine winger. TFC team physician Ira Smith, orthopedic surgeon Tim Dwyer and assistant athletic therapist Shohei Miyauchi also examined him. As did John Theodoropoulos, orthopedic surgeon to both the Leafs and Blue Jays. "No stone unturned," said Manning. https://www.burnabynow.com/toronto-fc-puts-piatti-through-medical-ringer-before-signing-argentine-veteran-1.24071679 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First half line-up: Toronto first-half XI: Quentin Westberg; Justin Morrow, Omar Gonzalez, Chris Mavinga, Auro Jr.; Jonathan Osorio, Marky Delgado, Liam Fraser; Alejandro Pozuelo, Erickson Gallardo, Jozy Altidore Second Half line-up: Alex Bono; Terique Mohammed, Laurent Ciman, Eriq Zavaleta, Richie Laryea; Adolfo Ovalle, Noble Okello, Tsubasa Endoh; Ayo Akinola, Jacob Shaffelburg, Patrick Mullins Most interesting name for Canadian fans is Mohammed as the back-up left-back for Morrow with the loss of Morgan to RSL.

shamrock Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Unfortunately no HG centre backs in action, although they have two in the roster. On the other hand minutes for Mohammed who doesn't even have a contract (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikmacdo Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Romeo should be the 5th CB, whats up with Julian dunn? they should loan him to York9 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! Why would they sign a kid two years ago and then not give him minutes at all (he barely plays for TFC2)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Definitely a prime candidate for being one of those 3/4 MLS loans to CPL. Dunne needs minutes and there is no shortage of clubs that would take him imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are in Wednesday against LAFC? Also, noticed Luke Singh is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Achara scores again against the Galaxy....I think thats 3 goals in 3 games. Maybe TFC doesnt have to shell out for a back up forward. He looks like a beast and that chip against LAFC was sweeeeeet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 All Delgado has had to do is run around alot and make some tidy back passes to make a case for himself. 3 goals in 3 games is making a case for being a #1 striker. He looked like a man among boys at georgetown but who knows whether that would translate when he moved to MLS, but it sure seems to be. I'm actually excited about this guy...much more promising than Mullins or Akinola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Anyone else get the feeling Terique Mohamed will be the next homegrown signing and will be the back-up LB this season? Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see him get the full game (same with Okello) but they seemed to empty the bench for the chicago game. They dont have another FB to replace Morgan so unless Vanney is planning on moving Deleon, Zav etc over Mohamed is the logical choice. It would be nice if he could make a breakthrough as Nelsen, Shaff Okello probably wont with all the competition for min in mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Apparently by virtue of being one of the top 4 teams in the Eastern Conference last year who didn't make the CCL, TFC have been drawn into playing in that rather pointless "Leagues Cup" between MLS & Liga MX teams: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/02/20/2020-leagues-cup-details-released-mls-and-liga-mx-clubs-dates-and-format-unveiled narduch and shamrock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtroads Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I know the games are useless, but I do enjoy watching the Mexican teams when they come up to Toronto. It would be nice if the games meant something, but I prefer it to watching Colorado or some other generic MLS team. Club Linesman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These games always seen to be in the middle of important parts of the regular season or close to a Voyageurs Cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
