OT: Montreal Impact Thread: One step forward 2 steps backward edition

[Emanresu Wen]

Fun fact:

Molson purchased the habs for 500 million CAD back in 2009. Adjusted to 569 million in 2017 according to inflationcalculator.ca

PSG purchased 2 players (Neymar + Mbappe) for 402 million euros (585 million CAD)

So two soccer players were purchased for a higher price than the most storied hockey franchise ever

 

[JunglePete]

That's on them, not Orlando FC.

Of course it's on them, I'm just cumulating their ****** FO, their slump, (they have won like 2 games since April), overpaying for Dwyer, MLS v.1 coach and now having their players arrested.

Should've probably specified...

It's always been known internationally hockey is no match to soccer and will never be.

I even think my statement can be applied to 80%+ world sports franchises

It just shows how top soccer is light years ahead to any other sport financially speaking

Yep, Europeen soccer is bigger than EVERYTHING, wich is normal, what else new did you wanted to tell us there?

 

[TRG]

Quit it, that was a bad insult

Seems like it hit the spot

 

[HabsDood]

Bla blas

Damn looks like I hit a sensible spot of yours lol

 

[HabsDood]

Leave my spot alone

We'll be fine, you'll see, even if just in 2019

Well, you are right, but PSG is an outlier. A dirty, moral-less, piece of **** outlier.

 

[Michelangelo]

Not any more than Real tho

 

[Emanresu Wen]

There was actually a small rumor before he joined NE. Would've been such a perfect fit. Also note that it's an older shirt, he definitely has been having it for a while

 

[ArtPeur]

KK would fit well next season if Piatti stays. I tried defending Mancosu over the last month but I'm fed up. That said, I don't consider AJH any better as a starter

 

[JunglePete]

this Key Kamara dude sure loves attention at all cost.

 

[TRG]

That ship has sailed for me.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I'd take Kamara on my team any time. Sadly I just don't believe it will happen anymore.

Another mindblower: the cost to build Red Bull Arena (probably the nicest stadium in MLS) was $240 Million. For the cost of 2 players you could've built RBA twice and had tens of millions left over. Using the current $100 million fee benchmark you could buy FIVE MLS expansion teams and have plenty left over.

 

[HabsDood]

Go Impact! Go!

 

[JunglePete]

Before the game, Mtl has 21% of making the playoffs while NE has 14%. Now, if you let Kamara, Nguyen and other NE scrubs score stupid goals, believe me these percentages will change sides. Now I'm gonna miss this game in hopes Kamara doesn't score a consecutive hattrick.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Right. There is a game tonight.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

3-5-2 with Camara in the middle? 4-1 NER.

 

[Luigi Habs]

More than 12 hours of football for me today.

Liverpool vs Man City
Chelsea vs Leicester
Juve vs Chievo
In parallel Man utd vs Stoke
Barcelona vs Espanyol
TFC vs SJ now
Then Impact vs NE

Must say the gap was steep between Barca and MLS although TFC are really good.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

 

[ArtPeur]

5-3-2 to the rescue
but we don't believe in you

You're nuts.

It's rare I can enjoy a day like this.

My wife went shopping with my daughter and stayed my with my boy home. Then brother in law took the kids out in the afternoon
