Random thoughts on TFC: Injury crisis provides a silver lining

With injuries to key veterans, Toronto FC's young players could get a chance to show John Herdman they're up to the task.

Random thoughts on TFC: Injury crisis provides a silver lining

Some random thoughts I had on Toronto FC as it prepares for Saturday's home game against Atlanta United FC.

Reds in desperate need of a proven No. 9

At the risk of beating a dead horse and restating the obvious, Toronto FC have to bring in a new forward before the MLS primary transfer window closes on April 23. 

TFC scored just 26 times during the 2023 MLS season, tied with the Colorado Rapids for the worst offensive record in the entire league. Toronto's forwards combined for a measly six goals between them, five of which were courtesy of second-year pro Deandre Kerr. The other came from veteran C.J. Sapong, who had his contract option declined by the team at the end of last year.
