That guy > Kofi Danning.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Nope, but think he could be a good player in the right hands. Did well when he first came onto the scene but drifted away since then.

Running on in three games and thoroughly failing to impress everyone was the highlight of Butch Lesbian Mr T's life? What must his other clubs have been like?!? Did they actually keep him in a hole in a ground and tell him to keep putting the lotion on his skin?

Aww, how nice... he seems to be taking his time in Wellington a lot better than most of the rest of us did. I reckon nice guy out of his depth and we should never have signed him. A blind man could have seen he wasn't good enough.

By all accounts the footage of him historically is superb.  If he'd settled and shown half what was in that footage he'd have caned it.

It's a pity for him and us that he 'wasted it'

So was he signed without being seen in the flesh? I thought he was training with the team before being signed.
Edit: I only saw him live once [HBU game] and he was obviously trying very hard but everything he did just turned to crap. Things like ball comes to him, it bobbles up and he loses it over the sideline - stuff like that. Maybe was in a form slump and was trying too hard.Napier Phoenix2011-03-05 18:34:25

Toto has always come across as someone who has snuck in to professional football after being terribly average.

Watches his feet when he dribbles the ball and he takes photos of himself in every single piece of football kit he gets.

If he loves NZ so much, an ASB Prem team should look at getting him.

I should also add that in training games I've seen him do some great things as well, but the monent there is a crowd he stops looking up and loses all resemblance to a footballer.

Anyone got any links to him showing some magic during a game anywhere? I'm just curious that's all.

The Toto bashing is bullsh*t. It's like 'oh ok, now it's alright to bash him cos other people are doing it'.

He's not very good; many people who play/played for the Nix aren't. I f**king hate mob mentality.

People were calling for him to get game time right up until the last few games when he did.

And f**k that 'butch lesbian' sh*t. He's short - get over it.

/ end rant.

I feel sorry for Toto, seems like such a nice guy. Gutted it didn't work out but it's professional football and if you're not good enough then you're not good enough.

Agree re the mob nature of toto bashing

although it has to be said, that no1 that doesnt attend training etc. would have had any idea whether he was good or not..

Therefore the call for game time to see if he was good... Turns out he tries hard... but doesnt work with us for wateva reason... Therefore the toto bashing follows

but agree collective toto mob bashing mentality is very poor

There is a perfectly good regional football section where you can blather on to your hearts content about Richmond.  If you continue to spam up in here I will banstick you double quick.

100 year old midget but has played at a decent level before, maybe needs the Nix to reignite his career? (like Smeltz). Could replace Greeny and would probably be cheap. Surely Manny could egg him on...

But I actually do know quite a few butch lesbians who look like Toto. No joke.

But I was the one who was all like "give Toto a game so we can see what he can do", and then the answer seemed to be "not a lot". I don't consider this inconsistency or bad faith. I consider it "having an open mind until you see the evidence and then making your mind up."
