VMP Final Countdown. Number 23 – Nick Hagglund
Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.89 Kristin: 24. *My initial comment on the ranking was: ‘He’s never going to score a goal with these types of minutes. Never good enough to play much even with the backline desperation all season – not even when finally 100% healthy’, but as Nick is on my slate of players I’ll expand a bit.* Really it’s all Jozy Altidore’s fault. If Nick Hagglund...
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...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 25 – Clement Simonin
Highest Ranking: 13 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average ranking: 22.79 Mark: 20. Toronto almost unearthed a gem in this one. Simonin was a first round draft pick out of NC State, but thankfully earned a proper footballing pedigree at Lorient. Showed plenty of early promise as a defender, but injuries kept the rookie out of the game for the majority of the season, making only two appearances for TFC, and one for the lesser sequel of TFC II. ...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 26 – Bright Dike
Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 24.21 Duncan: 26. Ah Bright Dike. I was relatively happy that TFC brought him back, that he didn’t get taken in the expansion draft. Could be a good depth option behind Altidore, or maybe even he could play in the middle of a 4-3-3, bringing his own brand of carnage to occupy the centre backs with Altidore and Giovinco playing off him? Imagine the possibilities if he could...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 27 – Jordan Hamilton
Hello, and welcome to the first article in the Vocal Minority’s 2015 Final Countdown of all the players that played for TFC this year. Over the next couple of weeks or so, we’ll be counting down from 27 to 1, from Hamilton to Giovinco (why even bother to pretend, the real suspense is for who’s the best non Seba player.) Many thanks to those that submitted rankings, and especially to those that also provided comments,...
