VMP 2016 Final Countdown #23: Mark Bloom
Kristin: 23 – Poor, I mean middle class Mark Bloom. Such a nice boy, but hard to remember anything else about him. Happy to see him going home to Atlanta. Oh Mark Bloom, your time at Toronto FC just never really clicked did it? In just over three seasons (after being scooped up from…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #24: Mo Babouli
Tony: 23 – His season took a curve midway. Like his hair. Hey UAE guys! It’s Molham! While it wasn’t quite the breakout year that many had hoped for Mo Babouli, he did gobble up some valuable minutes in his 16 appearances with the big boy club. Sadly for Mo, two things didn’t come to fruit…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #25: Dan Lovitz
Duncan: 26 – I! don’t! care! Dan Lovitz! I don’t care! Dan Lovitz, Dan Lovitz! Thank you Icona Pop for summing up my thoughts on Dan Lovitz this year, ‘Lovitz – the greatest thing’ certainly wasn’t going to do the job. A particularly anonymous and mediocre season for Dan, here’s what I remember. NYCFC picked…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #26: Raheem Edwards
Mark: 26 – I will treasure all of his contributions this year. Six minutes. Raheem Edwards made his debut for Toronto FC in a Voyageurs Cup match against Vancouver, coming on for Osorio in the 86th minute in late June. He followed that performance by making his league debut in an 88th minute substitution coming…

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #27: Brian James
Mark: 27 – I will treasure all of his contributions this season. Brian James made his debut for Toronto FC in the Voyageurs Cup replacing Dan Lovitz in a game against Montreal and contributed six minutes. Thank you Wikipedia. Six whole minutes. That’s nearly 360 seconds, if my math is correct. The 80th pick overall…

TFC Player Final Countdown: 2016 Edition
Well sports fans another Toronto FC season has come to an end, and wow, what a crazy season! It feels rather odd to have TFC’s off season begin in December, and well into December at that. Usually we’ve been grumbling into our cups since sometime in October, and staring off into the abyss that is…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 1 – Sebastian Giovinco
Highest Ranking: 1 Lowest Ranking: 2 Average Ranking: 1.05 Mark: 1. What can only be described as a big money bust, Sebastian Giovinco made his debut in MLS this season to little fanfare and plenty of “who?”. After struggling in Juventus for much of his professional career, he did what most past-their-prime players do, chase the…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 2 – Benoit Cheyrou
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 9 Average Ranking: 3.11 Duncan: 3 Benoit Cheyrou was probably my favourite TFC player last year. Sure Giovinco was the more obviously flashy player, and with the goals and assists to back it up, Michael Bradley more all action and Justin Morrow more reliable, but Cheyrou was such a pleasure…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 3 – Michael Bradley
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 10 Average Ranking: 4.11 Mark: 6. Let me preface this by saying that I understand defensive midfielders like I understand house music : I can identify it, but I have no concept of when it’s good. Captain Michael Bradley played sort of defensive midfield/general-esque role most of the season. With five…
