Episode 121 – 16-01-19 #Stingray
Well, there was the draft, and Tsubasa Endoh is a malarkey rich name, but what the hell else were we going to talk about? Then TFC came through us for again with the signing of Clint Irwin just hours before recording time, so we talked about that too, as well as random rumours and other…

TFC draft Tsubasa Endoh! Podcasters rejoice.
SuperDraft Day! Feel the exciteMent. Compared to previous years, this looked to be a pretty dull one for TFC. No recent trades or signing buzz (though the waiving of Ahmed Kantari certainly counts as addition by subtraction) and only one pick in the first two rounds, and that wasn’t even the traditional early pick what with…

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 5 – Jonathan Osorio
Highest Ranking: 2 Lowest Ranking: 16 Average Ranking: 5.05 Duncan: 6.It was another good year for Jonathan Osorio, though one where in various ways he didn’t quite seem to easily fit into things. The main way was with Canada where he all of a sudden found himself on the outs with Benito Floro, left out…

VMP FInal Countdown: Number 7 – Chris Konopka
Highest Ranking: 1 Lowest ranking: 15 Average Ranking: 8.63 Duncan: 10. Ah, TFC. Can’t avoid a goalie controversy to save their lives. Bendik’s injury opened the door to Chris Konopka and what do you know, he came in and did alright, putting together a few good games, meaning when fit again Bendik didn’t get the…

VMP FInal Countdown: Number 8 – Marky Delgado
Highest Ranking: 5 Lowest ranking: 13 Average Ranking: 8.68 Duncan: 7 Delgado was one of the few players in the Chivas death draft who looked interesting and worth a flyer, so it was a bit of a surprise when other teams passed on him and he was still there for TFC to pick up. Despte…
