OT: Montreal Impact Thread XXVIII - "The Nacho Man" Edition

[Dominator13]

Impact de Juventus FC.

Count me in!

De Santis already has contacts with Pirlo's agent though, so that was already established. If he want THE marky name to boost soccer popualrity in Montréal, he's your #1 target, period.

Carlos Tevez or LIorente would also make a badass Marco Di Vaio replacements.

edit: Forgot to add that there's massive opportunities with the sesons not beig at the same time and Juventus academy players waiting for jobs that could be loaned to us.

Pirlo to Montreal?!

JGL to Juventus.

JGL to Juventus.

**** off!!!

He's our 1s good hometown academy player with big potential. He ain't going nowhere.

 

[Laurent]

Sad that we settle for Pirlo when Pogba is available

JGL to Juventus.

They can have Joseph Gordon-Levitt, sure.

 

[Dominator13]

They can have Joseph Gordon-Levitt, sure.

My hope is that what Juventus might gain in the partenrship is play time for their young players.

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

It's gonna take a while for top Euro teams to trust NA to develop their prospects. If ManCity-NY works out, it could be the start of confidence build-up.

Nope. He's mine.

Interesting supposition by sofiane :


Expansion draft + option on JackMac's contract makes him attractive to Orlando in 2015

[Habs 4 Life]

Probably wants to attract Juve next summer to come play here a couple of friendlies the same way he did with Milan and Fiorentina a few years ago

Meaning what exactly?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Meaning that if we don't protect him, they would probably grab him.

 

[Guilliam]

But with Di Vaio retiring, why in god's name wouldn't the Impact protect him?

Yeah that's what I was implying, there's not even a 0.1% chance we don't protect him. It's a waste of time (but that's what Benzaza always does) to think otherwise.

Any of you listen to podcasts about IMFC and/or MLS in general? If so, which ones are worth listening to?

Pirlo to LA, discuss.

We're ****ed.

We need CR7 then.

 

[Dominator13]

It looks far from a done deal, but you gotta like how proactive LA is. They're already looking for a 3rd DP while Landon is still there.

Saputo and ND have direct contact with Juventus now, there's no reason we can't negotiate too.

 

[ArtPeur]

Getting Pirlo this winter would be so huge for IMFC but I wonder where Piatti would be playing then. He's been pretty much our CAM for a while now.. unless Pirlo would play DM in our lineup?

Anyways, I hope IMFC's already scouting for another DP for the winter transfer window even more if they can beat the group stage of CONCACAF.

 

[Bud2790]

I'd love Pirlo but if MDV leaves our main focus should be a striker.

Pirlo is a deep lying playmaker, an aging one at that. He doesn't play Piatti's position.I'm pretty certain Saputo will offer a hefty amount for what should possibly be one of his favorite players. The would market his arival like crazy, much more than LA.

Benzema?

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

If you have that many good playmakers, then Mac, Jackson and another rotating striker can be more than enough.

 

[Garo]

We'd need to buy him, then give him the biggest contract ever for the club... It's a significant investment.

The other problem is that we're playing with two more defensive Midfielders behind our creative trio, but Pirlo wouldn't be able at his best in this role. He'd be very good at getting long balls forward, but we'd get killed on the counter.

I have no doubt Saputo would dish out the dough for the best Italian player on the planet.

I don't get what you mean by your other comment, it's the PERFECT role for Pirlo. It allows him to push the ball forward without having to run like our 3 offensive midfielders. We just need a good n.6 next to him.
