Toronto
FC knew he would end up elsewhere, that was the sticking point in an article
the Toronto Sun
did regarding Matias Laba, really? What do you expect when you add the likes of
Cesar, Defoe, Bradley and Gilberto. They
traded Laba for future considerations which are not made public, for that
reason it’s hard for fans to see this as a fair deal. Just words taken away with
the wind, it would be nice to see what these “considerations” are but I guess
it makes sense to get rid of that salary since TFC still has to pay out on injured
Bright Dike who will miss the entire season and World Cup 2014 Brazil
representing Nigeria.
Going
winless in preseason is concerning, watching a deflating final 4-2 loss against
an U-23 Brazilian team is a reason to question what’s going on, sure our golden
boy Defoe is over in England (with a hamstring pull), Gilberto is nursing and
injury and the coach rested Cesar are the answers but, we have seen this
before. The Blue Jays, all the star power and look what happened, a mid level
team gets overhauled and in a second becomes the Las Vegas favourite to with the World Series. Now
before everyone starts to roll up their sleeves and lash out on me saying
soccer isn't baseball lets look at what is expected. We need players to gel
together, that’s what this preseason was for and with the injuries and/or
international call ups that our DP’s will get will take away from TFC’s
bonding. That gelling/bonding will have to take place during the season and
cannot afford to piece together team chemistry during that time. I for one
really do hope that TFC does not continue to live up to the stigma of Toronto as a joke city
for sports.
Don’t get
me wrong, I love Toronto teams and am always one to say that our teams with go
all the way (jokingly with enthusiasm with and a hint of seriousness) and
really do genuinely wish for a strong successful TFC , Raptors, Leafs and Blue
Jays season with no more heartache.
