I like this. I had gotten quite excited about the prospect of signing Mellberg and perhaps O'Dea isn't quite the vocal matured back-line commander that we need but he seems to be the type that can grow into that role. He has 20ish caps for Ireland I believe and my source tells me he handled Arshavin quite well.
O'Dea paired with Cann. I like this very much. This post has been edited by HeavyD on Aug 3 2012, 10:55 AM |

i talked to demps about this on wednesday. The only concern I'd have would be his seemingly inability to really "latch" on to a team.
But I think he'll do well. and fuck he comes from great pedigree ;) (Posted Image) |

He wasn't good enough for Celtic, but should be good enough for TFC, if expectations aren't too high, like Mellberg high. Decent, versatile, left-footed centre half who can play left back in a pinch. Not the Bossman that they were talking about, but should be able to do the business. Kinda like Jonathan Spector, for north american fans.

Solid pick up. I think some people have been way to premature in slamming the signing. Obviously it isn't Melberg level, but You pick up an experienced CB who when I saw him play for Leeds looked alright.

Considering the salaries of the defenders below, all recently signing with the league and all with good experience, I hope that we've got him on a sensible contract. (Though considering he's got more experience than Eckersley and what he's earning... :)
Arne Friedrich (Chicago Fire)- $230,833 Alessandro Nesta (Montreal Impact)- $225,000 Bakary Soumare (Philadelphia Union)- $280,000 Hopefully, at 25 years old, he comes in and hits his prime here and really peaks. |

My jesus god I would have taken Friedrich at 230K so fast you would have just seen a blur. I thought he was a DP.

He probably will be next year just like Nesta. |

:lol: Seriously? You're just messing with the songwriters above, right? Even the club said it's "O Day", but I'd rather "O Dee" anyday. |

He could be a good signing, he's not my first choice and like Scottay I am concerned about the way he hasn't been able to settle into a team lately but we will see how this works out! Someone please tell me he isn't taking up a DP spot!

Edit. Picture of Odie too big and too much of a pain to fix on phone. This post has been edited by marktci on Aug 3 2012, 12:03 PM |

If the DP spot was in play, TFC would have signed Mellberg. |
