OT: IMFC Thread

[Laurent]

The Montenegro-Belgian dude might be true after all

 

[Skip Bayless]

apparently not

We'll see.

 

[ArtPeur]

apparently not

So we get one more spot, 8+1

Diop, Diallo, Cabrera, Raitala, Taider, Donadel, Piatti, Mancosu, Vargas

There you go, 9 players under contract right now.

Apparently Diop has a green card

Yeah JP said so last month.. but does the green card also works if he plays in Canada?

From what I've read, green card holders in the U.S are considered U.S domestic players and U.S domestic players are considered Canadian domestic players for Canadian clubs.

Domestic Players

• U.S.-based Clubs: For U.S. Clubs, a domestic player is either a U.S. Citizen, a permanent resident (Green Card holder) or the holder of certain other special status (e.g., has been granted refugee or asylum status) or a player who qualifies under the Homegrown International Rule*. There is no limit as to the number of U.S. Domestic Players on a U.S. Club's Roster.
• Canada-based Clubs: For Canadian Clubs, a domestic player is either a Canadian Citizen or the holder of certain other special status (e.g., has been granted refugee or asylum status), a player who qualifies under the Homegrown International Rule*, or a U.S. Domestic Player. There is no limit as to the number of Canadian Domestic Players on a Canadian club's roster.
  • There is no limit as to the number of U.S. Domestic Players or Canadian Domestic Players on a Canadian club's roster; provided, however, that a Canadian Club is required to have a minimum of three Canadian Domestic Players on its roster at all times.

Well hopefully he doesn't count as International and you can't find MLS sources that show you whether they're international or not (or even DP)

 

[ArtPeur]

2:28, yeah Oduro is still in good form

Piette for Captain

 

[Skip Bayless]

lol he tried to use his weak foot but his touch failed and the goalie read it from a mile away

 

[adudeonaforum]

I'm anxious for this Paz circus to come to an end. I dont see what the fuss is all about with him as he doesnt seem to me like an absolute starter. Why waste an expensive international spot on a probable depth D on a loan? If he comes, he better be good.

The way I understand this is like HabsHater9000 said, he's a domestic player because of his US green card, it makes him the equivalent of a US player. I beleive he retains it even if he's not employed by a US team, and he'll be spending a significant amount of his time in the US.

edit: and the whole MLS single entity thing.

 

[adudeonaforum]

We need @Gelu back.

 

[JunglePete]

Yes Green Cards applies in Canada or else Oduro, Mallace and more would count as Internationals.

Mallace is long gone

@gelu88

 

[JunglePete]

would've*

Same goes Francis. Oduro wouldn't be an Impact player for so long if Green Cards weren't valid in Canadian team rosters.

 

[Skip Bayless]

The Paz dream is over

 

[ahmedou]

Klopas gonna show him what it means Lanus with his Concacaf Champions League's celebration. What a saga. One day it's ok another day not ok. We've been were rejected by him for a team of asshole

 

[Skip Bayless]

Lingouyén watch

I wonder if Bologna really wanted him or if it was a ploy to get him to come here.

If Meram cost 1m, Nguyen will cost way more than that. I don't think we have what would be required, or the need for Nguyen on this team. Sure it would be a good addition, but there are other holes we need to fill more urgently.

With that being said, Lee is one hell of a baller. I'd be delighted if we got him after addressing more urgent needs (I.e Central Defender); but if we have to chose CB vs Nguyen, I think we should prioritize a defender.

For those with time to kill -

 

[ArtPeur]

That's a lot of GarberBucks

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Nguyen would be worth it though, he's an electric player at his best, he'd be a fan favorite in no time. Just convince him to share the ball a bit more and him, Piatti and Vargas would create a ton of opportunities between them.

Make him visit the facilities and then the Kim Phat on Jarry to seal the deal

 

[JunglePete]

Van der Wiel signs with Toronto. Instantly the best full back in MLS? Me thinks so and it's not even close although he has lost a step since his PSG days. Van der Viel vs Piatti would be insanely interesting.

We need to get Nguyen here even for 1,5M in GAM/TAM, whatever the amount or wait for the summer to snatch an international attacking midfielder.
