Man these guys aren’t the hockey influenced robots we’ve seen that had trickled down to our past players.
They are part of the new culture of guys who are changing perspectives. Influencing the style of players we want to consistently produce.
@Dominic94 hits this nail right on the head.
Okello lest we forget was rejected of a move to Wolfsburg. Assuming he was talked into being given a bigger role/playtime that only came after extreme adversity. Makes me wonder where he would be now if he went…
Then Dunn another guy, lest we forget was only given his first ever TFC start in 2018 because the team was going on that CCL run, and needed rotation so he was throw into the Lions den in Houston. Along with several other academy players, draft picks and back ups to back ups - yes you Jason Hernandez. These guys got slapped, and he never appeared again until the end of the 2021 where he played good, got benched and then he got thrown in again in the teams most important game of the year.
Akinola….same story as mentioned by Dominic. Adversity opportunities/surprise.
We love when these guys have bite, and play with freedom/expressing themselves but hate it when they are telling it how it is or how they are being treated/feel after years of bullshit.
And it’s only going to continue with Manning at the helm, and the Bradley duo with the younger who should be out the door along with his long time friend, but it seems he’s going to have an even greater influence.
#freetheguys ….Fraser, Akinola, JMR, Nelson, Okello. Free them all, let them go play somewhere else where the real opportunity will be given.
You’re only as good as your opportunity…..and we still got Delgado at TFC.
