Montreal Impact Thread XLIII - Las Venegas edition

[TRG]

The 8-10 minute highlights on mls.com were waaayýy too long when you're watching other teams than your own, I could fall asleep before they were done lol.

See, I liked them.

 

[JtotheC]

Soumare requested a trade because of playing time. Since the trade, he hasn't made the bench for any FC Dallas games. Injured? Or regretting the request to be traded?

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Nah Baky just isn't good enough.

 

[Bud2790]

Same. I really liked them.

 

[Laurent]

Im dyslexic so i keep reading Las Vegas even if I know that it is Las Venegas. You guys are cruel

 

[Rumcajs]

Couldn't care about Soumare anyway. Too slow, cost us in the CCL and just doesn't have the speed for the MLS. Try the NASL.

No kidding, they put the number 0 on his back

Cabrera is a machine, and good on the team for trusting him. He has a lot of great years to give us as the kid just turned 22! My only concern is that by doing a full transfer, a I think he has to come with a DP tag for 1 season, like Houston had to do with Alexander Lopez.

The season isn't over, but he doesn't have DP's quality.

Of course not, but if we want him there's a 1.5 mil transfer fee that comes with him, and to have a 22 year old starting center back, that's worth the DP tag for 1 season.

 

[Paul Dipietro]

I was out of the country when the Drogba signing became official and it would seem that I missed the bus on getting his jersey from the various Evangelista locations

Does anyone know what would be my best bet to purchase said jersey (I like the Canadian flag on the old jersey)? The closest one to me is on St-Jean (West Island) but I'm willing to go anywhere

 

[Luigi Habs]

I believe they'll reach an agreement with River Plate to sign him without a big transfer fee. If not, then River might gladly take him back seeing his good performances with us this season.

Pretty much this. Although it does depend where the 1,5M$ figure comes from. Might be in the loan agreement.

I got tickets for 9/5 and for 9/22

Awesome. Everything is coming up Milhouse

 

[Bud2790]

Viva Las Venegas

 

[Scandale du Jour]

There were rumours since we played them in the CCL, nice to see it is now official.

We are stacked offensively. All we need is a DM.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Venegas was everywhere during the first 15-20 minutes of this game.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Here's what I think the Impact have in mind for the 4 offensive positions:

Drogba/Oduro
Duka/Venegas - Piatti/Venegas - Romero/Mapp​

Jack will probably get traded.

 

[VanNistelrooy]

A bit sad for Tissot though. He is not going to play another minute this season.

I REALLY would like to see Venegas play the n.10 position like he did with Alajuelense. With Drogba having from 1 to 3 defenders on him, Piatti will be able to sneak in at left wing and score bunches.

 

[68*]

Can we expect him to start/be on the bench for the 5th?

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

So Venegas is not taking up a designated player spot due to the use of allocation money?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Targeted allocation (new rule created to help LAG get Dos Santos; they were able to use that money to lower Gonzalez's cost therefore making fall under the DP threshold), but yeah, exactly.
