Sean Johnson [Goalkeeper]
- Thread starter Falastur
- Start date
I agree. It sucks to lose Sean, but like Callens we got him for his peak years. He's 33 now. Freeze has a lot of potential and I really think he'll end up being the starter this year. So you're going from a 33 year old to a 24 year old making like $500k less. That's a lot in this league.
It's definitely a matter of business realities. We're not an association football club with the flexibility to spend as we please. The extra parameters drive a lot of the decision making.
I understand what you're saying, but in a way this was the best way it could happen. Can't root for him when the season starts but at least for this match he's still on our side, still "our" keeper.
No Bieber or The Weeknd helping out Toronto? I'm surprised SJ stood for this partial Canadian invasion.
At least we know the Drake curse will be in full effect for Toronto.
Let’s put him back in the Survivor pool so we can vote him out again.
did you really expect otherwise though?
We've been talking about this for years... It's clearly a huge reason a lot of people wouldn't come here yet - that new stadium will be HUGE
i mean he still came here. and was successful here. i always felt this idea what players wont come maybe is applied to domestic players and possibly big names in terms of DP. The rest of the international players seemed to not care. i mean santi claimed in his recent interview that he loved playing at Yankee Stadium.
Sure, but you have to imagine that a player in general given the chance of playing at a half-full yankee stadium vs a packed and loud sss would prefer the sss. Maybe i'm wrong though, but it would definitely seem that way...
SSS stadiums are only packed for home openeres derby and playoffs, the rest are not packed. and the loudest being possibly LAFC, Austin and Portland. i feel the players are probably more annoyed at playing in various stadiums as home games.
gotta feel bad for the guy. club legend, comes back. thinks maybe he'll get a decent reception. instead gets boos and cursed at. signed up for a big transfer to a TFC side who are in complete shambles. perhaps he should have taken his continental tire advice and made the smart choice....
As going to write, "Will be interesting to see the reaction when he comes back for the MLS this season at Yankee Stadium/Citi Field since there will be more fans there who probably view him more favorably"...
But we're playing vs. Toronto again at RBA.
