Impact Thread - Off-Season Edition

[JunglePete]

And so it begins. Every off-season we’re linked to at least 10 players.

Which player was it again who pretty much was confirmed this summer only for his signing to be canceled because of him sleeping with a teammate’s wife?

Jimmy F*ckboy

 

[JunglePete]

Gabriel Fernandez, CF from Penarol (Uruguay's top club) is linked with Dallas and MTL. Also many teams from Spain and Italy.

Can't trust a player with no Wikipedia page in English. As long as they don't take the Uruguyan winger with the long ass name that plays in MX as 'Silva's backup' and waste an international spot I'm good.

Anyway, I expect 3 new names by the end of this week. After the Jimmy f*ckboy saga we can't trust none of them till we see them at YUL alongside NDS.

Do you guys have any news for Maxime Crépeau ? Whats going on with him ?

I cant find my source, but I remember Garde telling the media recently that Crépeau had reitirated his desire to have starting minutes, to what Garde was like

¯\_(ツ)_/¯​

He was agreeing Crépeau needed to be playing at his age, but hinting that it wouldnt be here... ever. So, same stance as last winter, they're telling him to find himself another team.​

I dont know the player, but I like that his nickname is "El Toro".

Peñarol always seem to find the way to produce good forwards.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Dude looks like a physical beast, made for MLS. Only 24 too.

13 goals in 36 games this year, having a tough closing tournament, but absolutely shattered the opening one (9 goals 4 assists in 12 games).

Edit: Scratch that, it's the opposite, having a tremendous closing tournament.

Yup, they're a development machine. I hope it pans out.

At least the rumor wheel has started in the middle of november and not 2 weeks before training camp.

I saw somewhere that FC Cincy were interested in him, so maybe where he'll end up next year. If I see it again, I'll post it.

That's wasn't the reason why, but that would be Jimmy Briand

You beat me to it...

A greek dude in our finances

You laugh, but it was probably the second biggest nationality in my MSc Finance programme at a top notch program. The first being... Chinese, of course.

Yeah most south eastern euros chose finance, accounting, tax, law once they come into north america. I was just making a small link with Greece being a country with very horrible history with their own money

I know haha, we kept bugging them about it in Edinburgh. The Germans were especially salty about it.

 

[JayKing]

Sign me up. Can't afford paying 10M€ for him though, but he'd definitely be our best player and well worth seeing live. He tore it up with Montpellier 2 years ago.

[ArtPeur]

Wasn't he one of those rumored Algerians that had interest for Montreal some months ago? (with other names like Slimani)

I truly hope this one has substance.

Boudebouz would be an absolute game changer in the MLS. It would also make our workhorse even happier to have joined the MLS at his age.

 

[JunglePete]

Ooooh I like it.

But not for 10 million Euros. That's a no. I would spend that much on a South American prospect. 5-6million for him should be enough. He would be a top 5 player in MLS

Forgot about Vela, Rooney, Pity, Ibra. More like a top 10 player in MLS but a top 3 CAM on paper.

David Villa will likely become a free agent, he wants to play ONE more year but NYC wants to move on. Smells just like Robbie Keane a few years ago with LAG and NYC may become a disaster. Anyway, considering he's about to start a USL team in Queens and running an academy there, I would think he would wanna stay in MLS or at least closer to NYC. Following this logic, we would compete with Philly for his services.

Sign him one year 3,5 Mil deal, unless he pulls a Drogba and starts playing in USL too for his own team.

 

[Emanresu Wen]

I feel like keeping note of these rumors.

1. Gabriel Fernandez (Nov 16th)
2. Ryad Boudebouz (Nov 16th)

 

[Vachon23]

Could we sign David Villa ??

 

[adudeonaforum]

The 10M€ IMFC apparently offered says it's fake.

edit: wrong weekend

Mexico stealing all the good MLS coaches.
