OT: Montreal Impact thread: Is it 2018 yet? edition

[HabsDood]

Oh okay

mm k

 

[TRG]

Again, same lack of creativity on how to recruit players. Italy, Argentina, players that are at Bologna...

Such mismanagement.

mmm Wut?

I'd settle for a Portuguese owner, if it meant getting players from Portugal or Brazil

A Portuguese owner would sell its players every year because it has no money for other expenses

Oh all right bad idea

Jorge Mendes could own this team and turn it into a farm for his players.

Couldn't be worse than what we have...

Surely, I can complain, this team is in critical condition in attack and your solution is a 35 yo very past his prime, who hasn't scored a goal in years? This guy flopped in China. The only good thing is that he's World Cup winner, so with his addition (and most likely Pirlo departure) this league will have WC winners from the 2002 edition to 2014.

Donadel wasn't signed when he was 35 and he isn't a forward and what has Donadel done for this team? He's average at best. Piette came in and took his spot, the team looked alot better instantly, that says a lot. We should just move on from old Italian players, they aren't a good fit. And I know you're gonna bring up MDV, but he is the exception he was still banging goals in Serie A before he joined us.

You're literally arguing by yourself JP.

 

[TRG]

Yeah. But he's "only" worth 72M, which is nothing compared to the Saputo family.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Bah, at least the Champions league starts today!!

 

[Dominator13]

I'm happy they're giving him a try out 1st. We have absolutely nobody behind AJH at the striker position right now, so there's worse things than having a world cup winning striker to playing 10-15 minutes a game.

If Di Vaio could score 22 goals at 37 years of age in this league, surely Gilardino could score a couple here and there.

[Paul Dipietro]

Nothing to lose I suppose... At least my expectations are going to be ridiculously low this time around (a bit like when they first announced Mancosu)

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Meh, he looked pretty much done to me last year in Serie A, although on a bad team in his defense. He's not a real physical presence either which worries me at his position in the MLS. Oh well, maybe I'm just in a grumpy mood.

 

[JunglePete]

Sigh..... If that means Mancosu isn't coming back then and he doesn't take a DP spot then I guess it's not a bad thing

 

[Skip Bayless]

Haven't seen Gilardino play in ages, so I'm not expecting much, but who knows. Not sold on AJH either, but I do hope he gets a fair shake.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Great finish by Leo

 

[Skip Bayless]

Messi dabbing hard on Juve

So apparently they are trying to sign Gilardino before this Friday which is the deadline to bring in free agents. Now, that would make more sense, I thought he was training to start playing for the next season hence why I lost all faith in this team and their scouting strategy.

Now for short-term it can go 50/50 and with 7 games to go it might be best to risk it all. With 15% chances of making the playoffs, you have nothing to lose.

Problem is who u give up for that International spot? End Boldor's loan? Dump Bernardello? Mancosu?

 

[Emanresu Wen]

Usually strikers that we sign late in the season turn out pretty good (ie: Drogba and Mancosu). It's the year after that they start sucking

So this Gilardino guy may be just what we need

 

[Scandale du Jour]

GilardiNOOOOOOOOOOOO, over the hill, don't need him.

They're still aloud to trade TAM or GAM for international spots. It's player movement that the deadline is behind us.

 

[ArtPeur]

It's stupid though, we traded away an international spot last month

It's pretty established by now that this organization improvises more than a 1970's jazz fusion band. This is pretty much what they do.

Doesn't improvisation imply a bit of creativity? If anything this team is the clichéd definition of insanity
