    Hey guys,

    As a Canadian fan, I'm curious to see how Adrian did at CB this season. Your take?

    Like a poor man's Edgar Davids. He has had some injury problems that have trainwrecked his fitness and 90 minute form.

    I like the fact that he is comfortable on the ball, has solid first touch and technique and is rugged in the tackle.

    I have seen him get caught napping once in a while but he is in my starting XI for sure.

    He started off great,good player to watch.,and his throw ins are awesome.but he got injured and had a bad time coming back from that.,I started to see him a little shaky at times.
    This last game against the Fake Chivas,I saw Adrain get his form again.

    Serioux is a nice and easy going guy.,and I hope he stays in Houston for the rest of his career.

    He sucked. Toronto would be a fool to take him in the draft.

    Amazing player and is an easy guy to talk to. ***For that matter ,all the Dynamo players are easily approachable and talkative. Adrian in paticular can throw an amazing ball as if it were a corner kick except with better accuracy.
    Toronto wouldn't be interested in him at all. And I hope Dom includes him in the 12 protected players.

    nobius my man! my guess is that you have not played a competitive match in your life and I personally would love to see you get around Serioux. He has played through injuries and struggled for his fitness all this season for the dynamo and Toronto should be lucky to get this guy. Stick to fantasy league nobius cause your knowldge is showing. Good luck to our Cdn. boys and Dynamo this weekend.

    Pssst...I think he was being sarcastic (no, really the guys knows a little about the team). Please, keep your hands off DeRosario, he sucks as well.

    That's cool. Happens to all of us.

    Just don't make The Nobius angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. :)

    Like most everyone has said he started out great - I remember that one FC Dallas match that he just stuck to Ruiz like glue and just gave him fits. After the injury he was slow coming back with what I felt were some sub-par performances compared to his earlier play. I also felt he looked good in this last match against Chivas. But what do I know? I never played a competitive match in my life . . . however, it doesn't keep me from having an opinion. :D

    Out of position. Really a defensive midfielder pressed into playing centerback.

    I think hed be very solid in the midfield in MLS, maybe not among the top 3 defensive mids, but certainly in the top half.

    BTW - Does Serioux have a Green Card? Remind me why he is not a SI? Or is MLSnet wrong?

    this thread is amoot point-he's practically Toronto FC property. Great guy-wish he'd stay, but going home sounds too nice. Here's to hoping Mo ties his first dozen games and gets canned.:cool:

    I really hope Serioux stays, but I could easily see him going to Toronto if not protected (which I think he might be - after all we traded what I think was a pretty good player to get him). Cochrane could easily take his place but then we lose what little depth we have at the back. Serioux has his lapses, but overall he's a good defended and very entertaining to watch (i.e. the "staredown" with Ruiz, that nice tackle this past game, great ball handling).

    He is kind of Gooch-like in his play. :rolleyes: Or at least as close as we're going to see in MLS...:(

    That's the wrong approach if we are trying to sell our stale bakery goods. Try, "He's great, you can't take him from us. Please, no." (Wink, wink.)

    Mediocre. The long throwins will catch your eye, but only so much came of them this year, and that doesn't replace field play. It's a little bit of a gimmick, like a flip-throw.

    His defense is a little bit on the risky side. Dives in and wins it a fair amount, but sometimes gets just run by. Recovers OK, can make a saving tackle, but also sometimes just fouls, and does so on occasion in bad places. Fairly tall (6') and decent in the air. Fairly smooth with the ball (midfield-like) but can get too cute.

    Kind of a tweener. Not super sharp defensively, nor with the work rate of a true midfielder. The tosses seem like something you'd like to have, but only one helped result in a goal, that I remember, and, like Landon Donovan with the Nats, you're left with the cliched round peg with a bunch of square spaces to put him in.
