  1. None. Only jerks and the Portuguese put money on Free Parking.
  2. DCU's is actually pretty good, I think. The rest? Meh. Except for Portland's. That one is terrible.
  3. Gilberto had seven goals in 28 appearances across MLS and Voyagers Cup, albeit with limited minutes. He's a quality player, but apparently had issues with either Defoe or the coach, and may have had language issues, too. He'd probably do much better back in Brazil. That said, I'm hoping we keep a hold of him somehow. He's not the flashiest player, but he works very, very hard. There was a span of five or six games to start the season where he had chances, but just couldn't bury them. If he were the first striker option for TFC last year, and he was a little bit luckier, 12-15 goals would not have been out of the question. If he were to stick with TFC this year (somehow), I'd peg 15 goals in MLS/VC play as a reasonable return.
  4. If there was some way to keep Gilberto in the league, I'm sure TFC would be doing it. The number of good players TFC brings into the league only to let them go the following year is starting to get ridiculous. Oduro does two things well: run fast and have funky hair. I saw TFC beat Impact 2-0 live in Montréal, and Oduro set up both goals with his on the right wing. But, the only reason he actually succeeded was because Montréal's D was old and slow. Against faster defences, Oduro didn't really do a whole heck of a lot in Toronto.
  5. TFC officially signs French/Polish D Damien Perquis. TFC get Eriq Zavaleta from Sounders for a 2nd round pick. Wa-hey! We have defence! Also, does NYRB even care anymore?
  6. Kristian Jack of TSN.ca talks to Greg Vanney on Giovinco, Michael Bradley and TFC tactics/formation. It's a good read, and shows that Vanney's open to toying with things in preseason to see where things work best.
  7. I can only hope that the boys up front score enough to make shipping two or three per game irrelevant.
  8. Exactly why I think there might be a 3-2-3-2 or something in TFC's future. Not sure if Vanney has the balls to try it, though. I like Hagglund; he's going to be a good if not very good MLS defender. I've been a fan of Henry's since I first read about him in the Toronto Star six years ago (-ish?), and hope he does well at West Ham, but damn we needed him. But other than Haggs and "wacky inflatable waving arms" Caldwell, we've go nobody to play CB. I think TFC's got its hopes on Damien Perquis' ability to still contribute, or one of the draftees becomes Rookie of the Year. As always, it's going to be an interesting season at BMO Field. Oh, wait, they're getting a new sponsor, too, so it might not even be BMO Field.
  9. yeah, he's shown flashes ... did pretty decent as a sub/fill in ... if FCD did it for depth, I think it's a good move. Most likely it is an attempt by TFC to find a way to keep Gilberto 41212 .... Altidore, Gilberto up to with Gio underneath and Bradley/Osorio at the mid ? You almost don't need defense Good. Because we don't have any.
