VMP 2016 Final Countdown #8: Jonathan Osorio
Mark: 8 – One. Touch. Legend. Osorio had a mid-season epiphany that seemed to be documented by the Vocal Minority. Earlier on in the season, he had a habit of making several touches before attempting to shoot the ball. Sometimes, it was having to beat EVERYONE before attempting the shot. Others, it was needing to settle the ball before having a go. His confidence to “pull the trigger”, be it shoot or pass, was often...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #9: Tosaint Ricketts
Kristin: 11 – Super sub extraordinaire! Speed, nightmare for opposition defenses late in games and Canadian! Plus that goal against Montreal – thrilled that he’s with TFC, looking forward to seeing a full season from him. The rumours of Tosaint Ricketts coming to Toronto FC were murmured for several months this past year – his time with his latest Turkish club Boluspor had come to an acrimonious end due to...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #10: Will Johnson
Duncan: 11 – A shame about the injury as he’d had a decent first half of the season. By the time he was fit again, lost out in a numbers game as we just have too many similar midfielders, so letting him walk as a free agent kind of makes sense really. Forever a part of club folklore for breaking his leg while scoring the cup winning goal. After the 2015 season, it was obvious that Will Johnson was going to leave Portland...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #11: Benoit Cheyrou
Kristin: 6 – Our favourite menacing dock worker – and the most intelligent player on the pitch – the sublime (yes sublime) Cheyrou, our midfield maestro, keeper of the ship during injuries and scorer of the most amazing goal ever. Hopefully we get one more year of his marvelousness. Benoit Cheyrou remains one of my favourite players and one of the best bits of business that TFC has done in the past two years. Silky...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #12: Nick Hagglund
Mark: 18 – Fell to obscurity and then fought back into the starting eleven right at the end of the season. They haven’t quite beat the forward out of him and I’m perfectly fine with that. Ah, Nick “The Salmon” Hagglund. The defender who thought he might be a forward, then had that beaten out of him, came back to solidify himself as a starter and then scored a header where he smashed his entire body through that to...
