OT: Montreal Impact Thread - Thierry Henry's Magical Hands

[Habs Icing]

Why would anyone want to play in CPL instead of for the Impact ..........

That's what I asked myself.

Why would anyone want to play in CPL instead of for the Impact unless the MLS role was going to be taxi-squad?

Easy stats to show yourself off to other clubs + less complicated to transfer out of the league than MLS.

Definitely the latter. Kid wants to play in Europe not get stuck in the MLS. Could be the first big transfer out of the CPL as well

It's not really that complicated to transfer out of the league. Maybe it costs more to buy an MLS player than a CPL one, but it's certainly not more complicated than to buy a player from any other league.

Lololol this team. I'm back and still the same shit. Lost major interest but thought I'd say this :

Columbus lost Higuain and replaced him with Zelarayán
SKC signs Alan Pulido, probably one of the best Liga MX forwards
Vancouver going the same route.
Toronto going after one of Bruma/Bergwijn



None of those teams are in CL, Yet, Gilmore goes publicly saying they won't sign no more TAM/DPs while Piatti may leave? Just. Let. Him. Go. No wonder they didn't know who Gilmore was, joke of a president.

There are plenty of LWs of who will do as good.
Max Gradel, Cecilio Domínguez, Enner Valencia, Ibargüen, maybe Chadli. Miss me with the 'transfers are hard' Gradel is playing for a team that is gonna get relegated and a better player to Piatti for cheaper. It took me 2 minutes to find them in my head, I'm sure they can do better than me with computers.

I'll be back when they bring in someone serious.

MLS clubs tend to be more clingy towards transfers out. Because it's complicated to get them to join in the first place. Big reason why is that MLS teams don't get the full valuation of an outgoing transfer since MLS takes a cut as well, unless it's a youth player. What a ripoff

He's a local guy, in his mid 20's, perfectly fine DM at the MLS level, seems to want to be here. I see nothing wrong with this at all.

I can hear his keyboard tapping. About to drop an essay and maybe even a video

Oh, I agree 100%. Someone won't though

Count me among the people who have zero desire to have him on the club. He's small (bad), very aggressive in a bulldog like way (good) but a black hole with the ball on his foot (very bad).

Exactly, but I find it funny because hes already been badly exposed for his deficiency technically. Renard and Henry were pressured and never got to see him. nyway Potato will struggle big time to the point he will play as CB where he belongs. Bookmark it.

I'm just glad my love for the team isn't the same because they won't make playoffs till hes a starter and I've said it for 3 years. Look what happened..

He should be a politician in his after career because its astonishing how he has everyone (or nearly) fooled for being a professional player

 

[ArtPeur]

I'm watching Liverpool - Monterrey right now and the Mexican players are flopping after every little contact. I'm already p***** about the next Concacaf tournament.

I get what your saying but just because they are a Mexican team doesn't mean it's all Mexicans. There are 3 or 4 in the 11. Most of the floppers are South American and Shaqiri

I guess for the teams that transfer non-academy/homegrown players it can be annoying. But I'm pretty confident most transfers out will be for academy-developed players in the future. One of the teams that does the most transfers out, Dallas, usually sells youngsters. Same for Vancouver or NYRB. I personally don't think transferring from the CPL vs. MLS is that much easier...

Yeah I'm certain Henry and Renard have not watched a minute of Piette's game tapes. They signed a blank check with the cheese money. Who cares anyway, right?

I mean, I'll be mad at the flopping, but I'll be happy to play Tigres in the semi-finals

An advanced stat analysis of the team as of today

Offseason Outlook: Montreal Impact — American Soccer Analysis

You can see the guy doesn't know much about IMFC, but it's nice to see which players actually have good underlying numbers.

For instance, he hasn't talked about Fanni, and thinks Bayiha/Yao can play LB.

isnt Yao a basketball player?

 

[ahmedou]

Quality over quantity with the local players, that’s what I really want.

Karifa Yao Ming.

Tapes ?


Of what ? Him backpassing to Rudy & Evan? Doesnt matter anyway, won't make the playoffs till he's the starting DM. I doubt chances against Saprissa now.


Here is a Tape of a good DM on Fire that got the attention of an Europa League team like Aek.



Potato makes me miss Arregui and Donadel whom I didn't like.
