OT: Montréal Impact Thread - Worst Team in Town, Best Team in Canada

[Michelangelo]

adios nacho

the greatest impact player of all time

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Sure is gonna be weird without Nacho around .

I'd honestly keep Cabrera boys. Not sure it's a popular opinion, but I like the mentality he's been trying to instill on the team. He was in a very ingrate situation and managed to get the canadian championship. I prefer giving him a shot than hiring a new coach and starting from 0 again with the champions league coming up. Plus, both Cabrera and Renard seem to be on the same page in how they want this team to play going forward.

New management tends to want to put their own people in place but if we can't find someone better, sure. Cabrera is a fairly well respected guy in the MLS and he knows the league well. We could do a lot worst.

I wouldn't be against Renard bringing his own people either, but my expectations would be tame going into next season.

 

[Tylers Dad]

So had we beat Cincy once and not blown our lead to Dallas, we would be in the playoffs.

Oh well

 

[JtotheC]

I hope we keep Sagna and Fanni. We are in dire need of some veteran experience for the champions league.

I would sign Sagna to be an academy coach and Fanni for a 1 year player deal then academy deal.

I read that Renard had issues with multiple coaches at Standard, since he wasn't picking the coach. I think we can now assume that Cabrera is gone, because Renard will certainly want his man there.

Its true. I am in Belgium and he gave an interview yesterday. It sounds like he will have alot of power so I assume he will pick the coach. In the past he was able to bring pretty good players to Standard and Antwerp. He has good contacts in Belgium and France. He was a Goalie so I assume he will bring in someone to replace Bush...Anyway, its a good signing.

Why Renard? MLS knowledge is what I'm looking at...

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

That's pretty much par for the course when a new guy comes in I think. They always want to have their own people around .

Speaks french....He is a smart guy. He will suround himself with people who have MLS experience,

That's hella of a CV.

Orji Okwonkwo named Impact Most Valuable Player

That's fair, there were no real MVP this season but if you have to name one it might as well be him.

Gilmore will be an in-studio guest on TSN690 tonight with Noel Butler.

 

[JtotheC]

The fact that he left the building without speaking to the media means he's a goner. Something ticked him off.

 

[Paul Dipietro]

Let Piatti walk. Get rid of Urruti and find a real striker ffs

The fact they're exercising their option may be a good thing because even if he doesn't want to return, they can sell him. So instead of leaving for nothing, they hold his rights and can get something in return for him.

Totally agree and that's what I meant. If he wants to stay fine but if we can sell him, even better

There's more drama surrounding IMFC than the Habs. Let that sink in for a moment.
