VMP Final Countdown: Number 17 – Robbie Findley
Highest Ranking: 10 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 17.01 Kristin: 14. *Just no. The invisible man, the player we had to have, one of the most polarizing players we’ve ever had. For the fuss and the price tag? Very expensive invisible man.* How did I ever rank him this high? That mushy middle really got…

THE STARTING 11: Things Going Under The South Stand
TFC Twitter had a minor breakdown this past Thursday afternoon when the first photographs of the BMO Field South Stand face-unlift emerged. Where some of TFC’s most vociferous support once stood was instead a random pile of rubble exposing a gaping chasm beneath the remaining seats. What could it mean? Who would dare do this?…

VMP Final Countdown: Number19 – Ahmed Kantari
Highest Ranking 16 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.68 Tony: 16. Remember when Tim Bezbatchenko bemoaned that TFCees of the past had a terrible habit of going out and buying old, expensive, somewhat broken British players when they needed to fill a need and that needed to change? Well, it’s obviously still ok as long as…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 20- Dan Lovitz
Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 26 Average Ranking 20.84 Kristin: 25. *Who? No amount of individual ‘look at me!’ warming up from the subs bench (when he was a sub) could get him minutes this year.* Dan Lovitz; man of mystery. Seriously, he made little impression (although barely playing will do that) this past year. After…

VMP Final Countdown. Number 21 – Steven Caldwell
Highest Ranking: 15 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 20.84 Kristin: 20 *Not his fault in the end as the brass failed to realize his limitations for the year. Last proper leader on the backline we’ve had and while we won’t miss the ‘oh dear gods make him stop waving his arms!’, miss the leadership.* Oh…

VMP Final Countdown: Number 22- Jay Chapman
Highest Ranking 14 Lowest ranking 26 Average Ranking 20.89 Tony: 24. Jay “Chappers” Chapman – the guy TFC zoinked away from the SuperDraft in the nick of time. Despite a mere 202 minutes with the big club in 2015, it does seem like if any of the young Canadians (after Jonathan Osorio) are going to break…

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…

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…

Episode 115 – 15/11/26 #HesNotARightBack
Once again Mark’s hamstring keeps him out of the lineup, but the other 3 soldier on without him and with it being the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death (shut up! it was when we recorded), there’s Queen songs and references sprinkled throughout like cocaine on a midget. They discuss Canada’s game against El Salvador, various…

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…
