Unnamed Trialist Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 1 hour ago, Kingston said: 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. This is how they justify keeping Michael Bradley on, captain and starting. Don't show him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Ayo or Jimenez os probably on the way out I do agree, one of the two will be gone, I would try to buyout Jimenez, because it opens up an international spot.

I think with that new rule where Canadian MLS teams can carry 3 extra Internationals it is not that pressing a matter. Besides Akindola probably has more value inside MLS and there already are rumours he could be moving. Kingston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimenez can use one of the three bonus international sports for players who have played on the team for one season. He's the only guy on the team eligible for the bonus spots, so cutting him wouldn't open up an international spot.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Suspect Luke Singh will wind up being the prime candidate for a contract buy out and they may trade Akinola for a goalkeeper if they are confident from what they are seeing in preseason that Jimenez is finally on the same page as Insigne and Bernardeschi.

narduch Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Adisa De Rosario is one of only 2 keepers at TFC's current pre-season camp. As per Neil Davidson's latest CP article. New signing Tomas Romero is the other keeper. YorkRegionFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only things didn't like about Montreal is that Quioto was Honduran. If TFC starts a 21 year old Honduran keeper, I will be wishing Bono was back and that says alot.
