OT: Montréal Impact thread - "I spend like poutine" edition

Hmm.

Sure looks like a 9 to me

He's more a false 9, a bit like Urruti with better technical skills

 

[Skip Bayless]

I'm really surprised, Stoke City has french fans and even a page.

Have you checked out the France FC Dallas twitter account?

Ewwwwww

Yep, a true trequartista.

Talent wise, our club has never had anything remotely close to Krkic. I just wish we had a Kei Kamara type striker (good header, regular scorer) in front of him. With the blasing speed of our wingers, Krkic could have a lot of success in the MLS. I just have no clue how our line-up will look like when/if he gets here.

BRAULT GUILLARD CENTERS!

BALL GOES OUT FOR A TORONTO FC THROW IN.

I'll believe it when he arrives at Dorval airport.

I'll believe it when he arrives at Dorval airport.

It's going to be as wild as:

We need to make sure that nobody shows up... We don't want to freak him out

 

[QuebecPride]

Quick question lads.

If Vicent Destouches is reporting that we need to create cap space to sign Bojan, can we just make him a DP then?

We're allowed to hold 3 DPs and then it wouldn't count against the cap no?

The first 530K of a DP contract counts against the cap, beyond that you can pay him as much as you want and it won't be accounted on the cap. For TAM players the whole salary counts on the cap, but you can lower the cap hit with TAM, the salary has to be 530K or more though for you to be able to lower the cap hit. GAM can be used on any player I think.

He's going to freak out when he sees the million orange cones we have in the city.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Will you be there to explain to him why he should use "humidex" before each sentence

That, and mind as well introduce to him the wind chill index cause its going to be cold in February.

You're going to trigger a panic attack, it's a good test to see what he's truly made of.

I keep getting flashes of the Tweek character from South Park...

I want that to be his nickname, but it's kinda mean. If he goes full-fledged jabroni mode, that's what I'll call him.

Montreal has been quietly stockpiling lots of dept lately...

Assuming Bojan signs and no injuries, the Impact could actually field 2 decent team!

Bologna Special
Team 1 Squads SoFIFA
69 Overall 67 Attack 72 Midfield 68 Defence
4-4-2

Urruti-Bojan
Lappalainen-Taider-Azira-Okwonkwo
Lovitz-Raitala-Cabrera-Brault-Guillard
Bush
Classic 4-4-2, solid everywhere except CB. Urruti does all the dirty works and Bojan plays as a true trequartista. Very solid on the wings.

Treasures of Americas x France
Squad2 Squads SoFIFA
68 Overall 71 Attack 66 Midfield 67 Defence
4-3-3

Piatti-AJH-Browne
Shome-Krolicki
Piette
Kinumbe-Camacho-Diallo-Sagna
Diop

Piatti gets to play at this preferred and most productive LW. Browne/Sagna tandem has been dangerous in the past. Triangle of Piette+Camacho+Diallo lockdown the center.
I am tempted to run a sim game on Fifa19 and post the results.

Kinumbe is done for the year, but still you make fair points. It's nice to finally have depth.

The February thing is overblown, the year began on March 2nd this year IIRC, while next year it'll start February 29th, that's a one day difference....

They still have to report to the team in February though

Not bad at all. I would have Choiniere ahead of Krolicki for 22nd player, that's all.

As for my overall best lineup 18:
Remove Cabrera, Kinumbe, Krolicki/Choiniere and Azira

Starting 11:
Bush
Lovitz-Raitala-Diallo-Guillard
Lappalainen-Taider-Piette-Okwonko
Piatti-Bojan

Bench 7:
Sagna, Camacho, Shome, Browne, Urruti, AJH, Diop

True, though they spend most of the training camp in Florida

Piatti-Bojan on a counter attack would be so deadly... Let's pray it happens hehe
