I also notice that Montreal let Pantemis go. He made $160 k last year and is good enough to be on the bench for the national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The direction being John-John Kennedy's plane slowly in a disoriented fashion spirally into the drink off Martha's Vineyard? Always liked Vazquez's qualities but with him and Bradley starting in midfield, viewers will be constantly thinking that they are watching the match in slow mo and will be hitting the fast forward button on their remotes. This season has a bad vibe already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, MB will play nearly 100% of minutes, so if VV plays it at all it will be with Bradley. Unless others see Michael taking a step back this year? Hard to imagine.

I would have liked to see him get a chance in Europe but, at this stage in his career, there would be too much of a starting over aspect if TFC is offering a good contract. As a TFC fan, I'm very pleased to see him back. He is a very talented player, provides good leadership, gives his all, and really gets things like the Canadian Championship. As an NT fan, I'm okay with this. I'm not sure how much better Osorio will get at this point, even if he had gone to Europe and he'll get lots of high quality minutes in Toronto. He's great on the NT but by 2026 I suspect he'll be more in the aging veteran role. Certainly I hope (for the NT, not against Osorio) that there are even better players ready to start for us in the midfield by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack1997 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I think this is what we’re looking at in terms of lineup right now (for sure starter in bold underlined-likely starter in bold) Romero JMR-Macnughton-O’Neil-Antongulu Osorio-Bradley-Kaye Bernadeschi-Akinola-Insigne I look at that and it tells me a Striker, CB, LB, GK, and possibly midfielder are needed.

I was reading, I think it was on MLS.com that teams are just starting to build their rosters to take into account that teams are now allowed 5 subs. This makes room for players like Vasquez who don't have to start to contribute. All you need from him is 20 minutes a game, he can come in to protect a lead or support the attack if you need a goal.

Where does Laryea fit in? or do you expect him to back to NF? I think Toronto has a buy option on the loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Toronto has a buy option on the loan. I don't think they do because there were reports about TFC trying to land him on a permanent basis (as opposed to just triggering an option). I suspect that, after his strong World Cup showing, NF will either take him back and give him an honest go or else - more likely - sell him.
