Countdown

That's right. Word on the street is we are drafting 5 European glam long-hairs. They are in their 40s now, a couple pushing their 50s, but apparently still have the goods. Living in Sweden has that effect. Ok that is Europe (you know, final countdown? HAHAHA .. ha .. ha ....meh) ... who actually played Lees Palace here in TO about 4 years ago. And to be honest the year before I saw FANTASY an 80s cover band (who rules) play that jam and it was better than Europe. No lie.

One quick one in before the draft and an EXPLOSION of activity for TFC!!! The only news is trying to get that #1 pick but I have no idea what the point of that would be. The combine didn't change too much from what the scouts were saying before hand. Zakuani still looks to be #1 with Omar Gonzalez and Sam Cronin in the top 4. The one last rumour is the keeper Stefan Frei who sounds to be head and shoulders above the rest. If you are to take the scouting for gospel, the two best are Cronin and Frei. But I said this last week, the combine rates them against their peers who, let's be honest, are nowhere near MLS level. So yeah, Cronin might look amazing in the combine but might not be the rookie of the year. Not expeting TFC to keep all our picks but crazier things have happened and it seems that the procedure now is keeping the rumours out of head office to nil. Ok I'll be back here in 12hrs!!
