VMP Final Countdown: Number 11 – Josh Williams
Highest Ranking: 7 Lowest Ranking: 20 Average Ranking: 12.79 Duncan: 8 Was very underwhelmed when he signed, after all could a NYCFC reject really be any kind of improvement to even TFC’s weak defence? But hey, he was a right back and we certainly needed a right back, so why the hell not, worth a shot right? Then he just got played at centre back, didn’t look terrible at all, and well, not looking terrible was more than...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 15 – Eriq Zavaleta
Highest Ranking: 10 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 15.11 Duncan. 15 Chivas were a raging success, what could be better than signing a bunch of their former players? Zavaleta was technically a Seattle player when he was signed, a second round pick going to the Sounders, but had been on loan with Chivas for the 2014 season. Much like his fellow ex goat Marky Delgado, Zavaleta was alright out there. I don’t remember a lot,...
VMP Final Countdown: Number19 – Ahmed Kantari
Highest Ranking 16 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.68 Tony: 16. Remember when Tim Bezbatchenko bemoaned that TFCees of the past had a terrible habit of going out and buying old, expensive, somewhat broken British players when they needed to fill a need and that needed to change? Well, it’s obviously still ok as long as it’s not from a British league. Case in point: Ahmed Kantari. The Moroccan is the latest in a...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 24 – Warren Creavalle
Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 21.42 Duncan: 17. 2015 really wasn’t fair to Warren Creavalle. He’s a decent MLS depth level player, ideally a midfielder, who’d had a reasonably steady couple of years at Houston under Dominic Kinnear, and he came into the season as first choice right back. Now he’s with Philadelphia Union and barely playing, an ending as ugly as those few right back...
Episode 115 – 15/11/26 #HesNotARightBack
Once again Mark’s hamstring keeps him out of the lineup, but the other 3 soldier on without him and with it being the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death (shut up! it was when we recorded), there’s Queen songs and references sprinkled throughout like cocaine on a midget. They discuss Canada’s game against El Salvador, various TFC bits and bobs, and complete their post season rankings with a long hard look at...
