Daniel Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 RDS has learned that the Impact has signed former Lynx forward (see a pattern ), Nikola Budalic to a 3-year deal to second Eduardo Sebrango up front. http://www.impactsoccer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6728#6728 The official site should have more details shortly. I'd say Ngon's days in Montreal are numbered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto7 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Terrific addition to the Impact strike force. I would imagine that Biello will go back to midfield to help set up the attack and replace Nash who apparently is not coming back. Looks like Montreal and Vancouver will be the cream of the crop of Canadian teams once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto7 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 quote:talking about Nash, if he doesn't return, where would he play? He is originally from Vancouver(and played there early in his career) so why not back to the Whitecaps? He has also had a trial with the Dallas Burn before so maybe that is also a possibility. I'd be very surprised if he went back to Rochester unless they offer him a guarantee that they will keep him when they move to MLS in 2005. In any case, I'm sure he is fed up with moving every 6 months. What a way to make a living! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Depressing news for Lynx fans, with perhaps the only optimism being that Montreal can't possibly have room for all of these strikers (Ngon, Budalic, Sebrango, Lemire, possibly Occean as well if he doesn't stick in MLS), meaning some might filter down to Toronto - but watch them sign with Edmonton instead.

Marc Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Well that's not what owning a soccer club is about. It's more about reaching out to different groups and creating long-lasting bonds within the community, Sean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 "Long-lasting" of course means 1 or 2 years, which is how long these partnerships seem to last, which is why they keep announcing new ones every 2 years....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franky Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 oh jason, Duncan is looking for his donuts!!! [V][V][V][V][V] If Limpact choke in the playoffs this season, must say, they have issues with all this talent. However, at least they have an owner who cares and wants to achieve success ON the field and not just off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamiltonfan Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Duncan is a very good coach or atleast that's what i thought when he coached the Thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Olympic and WCQ callups might hit the Impact hard. They'll need a lot of depth. Braz, Adam Fronimadis, David Gervais, Gabriel Matondo, Sita-Taty Nash, Martin Olivieri, Andrew Pizzolitto, Nevio Sutton , Greg Williams, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanKeay Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I understand that the impact is a supperior club in every way... But depth is hard to have in the a-league. They all see the a-league as a stepping stone and if they are on the bench no one can look at them. So i could see some bench players moving around club to club instead of staying as a potential player on the impact in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGahah oh yeah I was just being sarcastic, in reference to an article written abou the Lynx's sporting history, which was then re-written by the higher-ups who changed it to an article abotu their work in the community.

Gian-Luca Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 We'll know in the next two weeks whether Olympic call-ups in August will be an issue for the Impact. With it looking likely that many of our best players will not play in the qualifiers due to lack of FIFA rules & club committments & just 2 spots, it's not looking as hopeful as it once was, IMO.
