VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 18 – Armando Cooper
Highest: 13 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 18.04 Mark: 19 – The loan that turned into a stay, and we were still confused by it all. Armando Cooper signed on at the conclusion of last year’s playoffs, and stuck around for the full ride. In a word : interesting. Interesting because he started 11 games, but had 13 substitute appearances. Was he the hardest worker at training? Did he often treat teammates to ice cream? Was he part...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 19 – Jay Chapman
Highest: 13 Lowest: 23 Average ranking: 18.09 Duncan: 18 – When thinking about the 2017 season, there are very few things that make me kind of sad. Jay Chapman is one of them. There was such promise shown in 2016 when he finally got what few of TFC’s lauded academy projects get, consistent playing time. Here’s me in the 2016 season version of this gushing and getting ever so slightly optimistic that it might...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 20 – Clint Irwin
Highest: 10 Lowest: 24 Average ranking: 19.3 Mark: 16 – The unfortunate situation with our goalkeepers, is that both of them, at the beginning of the season, were largely interchangeable, but I would still favour Irwin as the #1. He had tons of experience under his belt, and could learn the kid a thing or two about goalkeeping as a professional. However, when tasked with two relatively interchangeable keepers, I suspect that...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 21 – Jordan Hamilton
Highest: 16 Lowest: 24 Average ranking: 20.29 Tony: 20 – A push at best for Scarborough’s own. Joins the other academy grads in having a neutral season at best. We still await that breakout year and hope it comes sooner than later despite the crowded talent pool up top. Ok, ok. Maybe NEXT season will be the breakout one. Another season came and went and Scarborough’s own (suck it, Hamilton, Ontario) didn’t manage to break the...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 22 – Ashtone Morgan
Highest: 1 Lowest: 25 Average ranking: 20.86 Duncan: 23 – Ah Ashtone Morgan. I want him to play and do well and be good, I really do, and you’d think wingback in a 5-3-2 would be ideal for his strength (singular, it’s not defence particularly, and it wouldn’t be as a midfielder, but as the guy on the overlap throwing in a dangerous cross, he’s not bad at all) but really, it’s just not happening is...
