OT: IMFC Thread

[Skip Bayless]

It's hard to really figure Fisher and Diallo into the equation, both are still several weeks away from even training with the team, let alone starting. I'm afraid we'll have to do with what we have at the moment, hopefully with Fanni back in action . The backs haven't pulled their weight lately, that's been a big part of the defensive woes. Lovitz and Duvall have to do way better, they can't always get bailed out by Piette and Taider, there's a limit to how much field they can cover defensively.

I agree, but I'm focusing more on the longterm at this point, that's why I even mentioned Fisher and Diallo. And then still...I have my reserves on those two, Diallo hasn't proven much AND has to come back from a severe injury. And then Fisher, how much more can he progress? Still no guarantees with no one in the squad ready to take over the CB position, besides Fanni, but he's 36 and strictly a short term fixture.

Defense comes down to a large degree to the coaching too, our staff has to do a better job of creating cohesion. There's still way too much space between the backfield and the midfield.

Yes, but it's also on how the team buys into playing for eachother and doing everything in their power to put their teammates in good situations, something that has been lacking for many years. I think Garde knows this since he's adamant about possession and structure, but the team has to have the will and also the confidence that having that mentality is the way to win. It's a culture, it's more than tactics. That's why leadership and quality is necessary and I'm not sure the impact has that yet.

Besiktas are one of the Turkish teams interested in Diop for a summer transfer

Clément Diop (Montréal) vers la Turquie

 

[Michelangelo]

he sucks

why would they want him

makes no sense

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

What would Diop even fetch for a transfer fee ? A dozen doner kebab ?

I'll take that

 

[TRG]

I'll take that

Keep one for me.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I want kebabs too.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Doners are overrated.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Doners are overrated.

You and your dang princess tastes, I tell ya !

I had one in Halifax and I didn't like it

 

[ArtPeur]

That transfer would be even better if Diop was taking an international spot

I hope we get an affiliate. A real one.

 

[JunglePete]

I'm going full crazy and say 2-1 IMFC. Piatti and Edwards are the goalscorers and Villalba scores for Atlanta.

 

[Michelangelo]

5-0 atl

 

[JunglePete]

Emotional blackmail

This moron could actually cost them the bid with comments like this. FIFA does not take kindly to politics getting involved in any fashion.

 

[TRG]

Halifax's ones are definitely overrated. But not liking it, what?

 

[ArtPeur]

Emotional blackmail

I've seen dumb tweets but wtf is this. Is he even real?

 

[Tylers Dad]

Just realized Bush is leading the league in saves with 39 after 7 games.

Sean Johnson is second with 28 saves in 8 games.

That is something.
