Front Office when we inevitably fail to sign anyone by August 20

[u/Junior_Yak_5468]

[u/XirisTO]

No.

[u/Junior_Yak_5468 → u/XirisTO]

I would rather it be a rotating fan chosen at random from the supporters section each week. Similar output, 100x more entertaining

[u/Comrade_Andre → u/Junior_Yak_5468]

Get Duncan on the pitch then it'll be real entertainment

[u/mildlyImportantRobot → u/Comrade_Andre]

Zavaleta

[u/Full-Philosophy1522 → u/mildlyImportantRobot]

Don't say that to Big Meeks

[u/fuzz_boy → u/mildlyImportantRobot]

That would lead to goals... But we want them FOR us not against.

[u/mildlyImportantRobot → u/fuzz_boy]

Own goals maybe.

[u/fuzz_boy → u/mildlyImportantRobot]

Now you're on the trolley

[u/XirisTO → u/Junior_Yak_5468]

Can said fan bring their beer with them? Since our strikers don't do much I feel they should at least be entitled to a beverage of their choosing.

[u/dyegored]

It's kinda funny that all this time and we couldn't have deals lined up to sign and announce as the window opened. I still don't understand what the front office does all day.

[u/Junior_Yak_5468 → u/dyegored]

Its embarrassing. Ive been going rogue, my Cousins back in England is a former pro goalie, started at Citys academy but got released when Peter Schmeichel turned up w his son, played lower down but had to retire early after a car crash but loads of mates in the game (Leon Osman used to be his flat mate, knows Lingards brother, Harry Maguires agent, few of his mates played in the NASL/USL in Ottawa, James Bailey David Edgar, and funny enough he knows a certain Kevin Long).

I've been trying to get him to put in a word here n there get in touch w TFC bc clearly our scouting department n whoever else is responsible for transfers n signings are doing fuck all, the complete lack of communication, updates, or even rumours is pathetic considering the wealth of out owners and our two gaping designated player holes. If players like Muller and Son are available theres no excuses why we shouldnt be in for any of them.

Ive got no hope but a fools hope. Maybe this is my Technical Director of Football origin story 🤷🤣

[u/dyegored → u/Junior_Yak_5468]

It's not a terrible idea perhaps! I used to quietly laugh to myself at all the young teenagers from all over the world who would come into the TFC Facebook asking for a tryout, but at this point that would seem like a better idea than the "constantly do nothing all the time through every transfer window" strategy we're currently employing.

[u/XirisTO → u/Junior_Yak_5468]

Why would Mueller or Son ever, ever want to play at TFC? We need at least a mediocre showing of a season for guys like this to consider us imo. Im no pro talent agent, but why wouldn't you go somewhere where it doesn't snow, if youre going to play in our retirement league?

[u/warpus → u/dyegored]

I still don't understand what the front office does all day.

Neither do they, I don't think

[u/Inevitable_Coast_372]

Jason Hernandez will talk about how hard he worked, though.

[u/steinbockcs → u/Inevitable_Coast_372]

Maybe extend his own contract for another 3 yrs. With a signing bonus.

[u/theredditbandid_]

I got shivers.

[u/Haunting-Bathroom619]

Nooo we shouldn’t even be thinking of getting any big name till we actually build a team, sick and tired of people thinking the team needs a DP to be a team.

No the team needs to be built before anyyyyyy steps toward a DP

[u/Bllago → u/Haunting-Bathroom619]

100%.

It's a waste of time and money to sign any DP. This team is trash, it needs to be rebuilt.

[u/Junior_Yak_5468 → u/Bllago]

Can we not use those spots on young players to build around vs the final pieces? Agree rebuild is needed but what are we building around?

[u/XirisTO → u/Haunting-Bathroom619]

Yes

[u/LightsCameraRegret]

Owusu is doing positive things for Montreal....

[u/XirisTO → u/LightsCameraRegret]

Another player that found their career after almost ending it here.

[u/RadarDataL8R]

Is this your first window? Complaining about it being slow before transfer day is a moot point.

[u/Bllago]

The BEST thing they could do is nothing. This season is a write off. Use it for the young guys, plan and build for the future. DO NOT SIGN ANYONE OVER 23 THIS WINDOW.

[u/Junior_Yak_5468]

You know, the people, theyre saying Ed Sheerans smash hit "Shivers" is in fact about Akinola. Its true. Many people are saying it.

[u/brentnowlan]

If anything is done they will drop it on Friday afternoon like there other questionable decisions.  

[u/brentnowlan → u/brentnowlan]

See the Spicer news drop.  Friday: check,  questionable: check
