Its also surprising they didn't hold on for that 30 to 100 million offer they wanted for him 2 years ago....lol. I'm a TFC, but this team has been a dumpster fire for the lat 5 seasons. So sad.

narduch Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Basically moved out because Insigne was in front of him. Which is exactly what they did to Shaffelburg too Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to see TFC quit bringing it stop-gap type guys and do an actual rebuild. Of course, JMR was one of the guys I'd hoped would be part of that.

Kent Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Was NOT expecting that. When I saw his thread was hot I wondered if he played a great game last night (I don't watch Leagues Cup, but facebook told me there was a game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 This is a shock but good for him, Montreal with 2 potentially banger moves in him and Clark. very curious to watch him, Saliba, Clark and Duke in the midfield. i hope they don’t use him at RB, our wings aren’t great.

YorkRegionFan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 The fact that JMR wanted to move shows me that he wanted to get out of his comfort zone. He basically grew up in the TFC ecosystem, and was always close to home and not challenged by dealing with things outside of soccer. In a sense, it is like him going off to university for the first time. The move is a good preparation for getting ready for a move to big and better things. dyslexic nam, Corazon and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC_Hali Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I think it’s a good move for all parties. It seems underwhelming given his hype but $850k in GAM (up to $1.3m) + sell on is actually huge for TFC. Especially for a Supplemental Roster player whose value is likely depreciating the longer he rides the pine. TFC’s salary cap situation is atrocious and this move frees up much needed capital. This move, along with a few other bad contracts expiring this winter, should set Herdman up well for 2025. I don’t buy the “don’t transfer players to your rival” narrative. I highly doubt there were other suitors in MLS willing to part with that level of GAM. It’s good business when you remove the emotion from the situation. For Montreal, this fits their MO, and for JMR, there’s proof of concept for him to reach his potential. A good deal all around 🤝 YorkRegionFan, Corazon, johnyb and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to him hiring Bob Bradley and allowing him to sign all those silly contracts, JMR was the only tradeable player on the team for this year.

I'm a TFC, but this team has been a dumpster fire for the lat 5 seasons. So sad. Let his story be a lesson to the next phenom from the GTA… if big clubs in Europe have interest… pack your bags as soon as you can. 3 years of development, at the most important time, wasted.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) How did packing the bags as soon as he could and going to the big club over in Europe work out for Ballou Tabla? Sometimes young players do not live up to the hype being generated in their mid-teens regardless of what side of the Atlantic they wind up on by 19 or so.

Good point with Tabla… but TFC have botched the development of every player coming through the academy since Osorio… their track record is embarrassing. costarg, Sal333 and Club Linesman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 This is a great move for Marshall-Rutty. Gets out of the talent graveyard that is Toronto and goes to a club that has a great recent track record of developing and moving on young players.

Dominic94 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 This move is being blasted on socials by TFC fans, they hate it. He starting to come into his own and wasn’t handled properly, he could be one and done in MTL, I do believe he will end up reaching his potential. Montreal looking scary young and talented though.
