It also has a couple of obvious gaps. So what we need this offseason are a couple of quieter but solid signings to plug those gaps and somehow meld a bunch of talented individuals into a cohesive team. Good luck!

kacbru Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I am someone who really enjoys TFC futility. However, I thought they were a decent team last year until Osorio was injured. Having him back and healthy is almost like a new signing that fills a lot of gaps / makes others around him better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) TFC II Rohan Goulborne is in preseason training with the first team. He's a left back although predominantly played CB with TFC II last season is from Brampton, who's been with TFC since he was 14(?, maybe younger) Was in preseason last year, but could assume he was beat out to a spot by Petrasso.

narduch Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Is this more wonky MLS rules? How do you pick a guy off waivers that spent the last 2 season out of the League? Based on his past 2 years it's an underwhelming signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Also if Wikipedia is to be believed, the guy has not played a lot the past 2 years. Sounds like damaged goods or a guy on the decline. The LAFC version of him was a good goal scorer though. But that was over 2 years ago now. jordan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 going through waivers doesnt necessarily mean someone was under contract with the league..a player who was terminated and then returns to the league goes through waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The wording from the TFC press release isn't the greatest. They also do a nice job glossing over his past 2 years YorkRegionFan and jordan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingston Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'm not familiar with this player. Given that what the team most needs is a keeper, more help in defense, and then a midfielder, I have to wonder why we're signing an aging striker. aredding77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem to have a tendency to chase the proven, but declining, 28 to 32 year old instead of the promising, but not fully proven, 24 year old.

narduch Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The more I learn about this signing the more if feels like it is bound to fail. In July of 2020 Adama Diomande accused a Portland player of using a racial slur. In August of 2020 MLS and USSF closed the case saying there was no conclusive evidence this happened. A few days later Diomande and LAFC mutually terminated his contract. He did not find a club until 2021. And his 2021 and 2022 seasons leave a lot to be desired. Lot of TFC fans really reaching for the hopium on this signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 This signing is a head scratcher. I'm sure its a depth signing but Diomande is expected to be better than Jimenez or Akinola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is obviously a Bob Bradley signing, if he's cheap, give him a shot, the other strikers weren't great last year. Metro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
