Comments on: McBride For Barrett It Is http://wvhooligan.com/2008/07/25/mcbride-for-barrett-it-is/ A look at Major League Soccer (MLS) through the eyes of a MLS writer and fan.

Toronto (I may be wrong on this) now has 3 1st round picks next year. They should be able to put together a package to deal and get Canadian O'brien White with the 1st overall pick...he would be a great fit for them. Plus Toronto also gets an allocation that it can use to sign another striker or trade for one. They also get Barrett, who wastes scoring chances, but who hustles, is a decent passer for a forward, and is better than anybody they currently have at forward (except maybe the 16 year-old). If Barrett could ever get his head straight he could be a very good striker. In the long run we may look back at this as a great deal for TFC!

Frankly, TFC didn't have much choice with the dire situation they find themselves in striker wise at the moment. I may have been the only way they can immediately start salvaging their season.
