VMP 2016 Final Countdown #14: Armando Cooper
Kristin: 12 – While maddening at times, the pros outweigh the cons to his presence on the pitch. Often hot-tempered (but only one yellow card) and loves that extra touch, but for the most part they’re better with him on the pitch. Armando Cooper was part of the summer injection of talent (along with Tosaint Ricketts) when it was clear that Toronto FC needed additional support to keep them near the top of the Conference...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #15: Alex Bono
Kristin: 17 – TFC’s big SuperDraft grab from 2015 – wanders more than I’d like, but settled in and did a good job of subbing in for Irwin. Not a No. 1 keeper yet; but the potential is there. From TFCII to the big leagues in the blink of an eye! That’s basically what happened with Alex Bono this past season. Taken high in the draft (6th) by TFC in 2015, Bono spent the season with TFCII (poor Q,...

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #17 – Jordan Hamilton
Kristin: 21 – Showed well in the summer when the team was struck by injury, still waiting for his breakout moment. Wow I put Jordan at 21? Actually I’m good with that – though I could have easily put him a bit higher, his ranking is less on his quality than on his playing time. I like Hamilton, he’s local, he’s got some skill and he’s been brought along through Toronto FC’s academy –...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #18: Jay Chapman
Duncan: 14 – Showed glimpses of talent, then crucially got a long run of games and once he seemed settled in and believed that he belonged there he looked very very good indeed. It’d be a gamble to try him as the creative midfielder TFC need rather than bringing someone else in, but I wouldn’t be against Vanney and co trying that next year. Going into the season, TFC seemed to have built themselves a decent first...
