The incumbent CBs weren't/aren't good enough, made more exposed by the lack of good goaltending in dealing with crosses into the box.

Kingston Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 At the moment, our presumptive starting d-line would be Hedges and MacNaughton in the middle with Laryea on the right and, I guess, JMR on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt O'Neill still around?? That still needs some work eh?? But it is a good start if Hedges has a couple years left in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Was there not a rumour on this board years back about Hedges being CanMNT eligible? But it ended up being a farce, and he’s obviously suited up for the US now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does he have left in the tank??? Was going to comment on how this is a good move, but your post gave me some pause. We said the same about Gonzalez, didn't we? He was good for us at the start, but near the end he was a clear liability. The other issue is around money. Omar was a TAM player. TAMs and DPs are under the microscope more than GAMs, and had Gonzalez been on a GAM contract his fall off would have been viewed as less problematic. No idea of what Hedges was pulling in, but he's a big enough name that I fear he'll be a TAM signing. Hopefully not and hopefully he does have gas left in the tank. I am also going to try and be realistic and not put any big expectations on this signing like I did with Gonzalez. That said, on paper he appears to be the top option at RCB. At minimum he should push MacNaughton to stay sharp. What happened to Mavinga by the way? Out of contract? Bison44 and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll see Laryea on the left and JMR (if he continues to play FB). Richie has demonstrated time and again that he can play both sides equally well. I haven't seen the same from Rutty. Actually, I hope Rutty gets some minutes in the midfield this year. Nelson is ahead of him, but the club is reportedly open to selling Nelson now. I hope that's because they see Rutty as a central midfield player. I really think he has the vision and skillset to play there. He has the brain for it. Not convinced he has the speed to maximize his potential if he's going to keep playing out wide. YorkRegionFan and Bison44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Is Hedges a Red or what?!? He would be a decent start to improving a terrible CB pool. Need more but at least they are trying to address the issues. Need a proper goalie as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to give Kosi Thompson another look at RB? I wonder how Chung will fit in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson played the majority of his 1625 minutes at RB last year, but he did get reps towards the end of the season at centre mid. I understand that he's also naturally a CM. My bet is that he'll get reps in both spots, depending on what the situation is from game to game. I see him and Chung vying for the back up spot behind Laryea, and depending on what they do with Rutty it may be 3 of them competing for the back up role. Alternatively, they may just play Richie on the left and give Rutty the starting RB spot, woth Chung/Thompson as the back ups. I will be surprised if Thompson gets the starting role at RB, but not entirely surprised given how much he played there last year. RB - 2nd/3rd/4th string Richie Rutty/Thompson/Chung (likely in that order) CM - 5th/6th/7th string Osorio Kaye Bradley Nelson (may be sold keep in mind) Vazquez Thompson/Kerr (possibly in that order) BearcatSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
