Addona Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like Santinago has been trailing with West Ham for a few weeks. WHUFC @Forever_WestHam Jordan Santiago is West Ham's trialist goalkeeper against QPR today #whufc Here's a short article I found on the match, a 3-1 win for whufc: http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/130319/west-ham-offer-trial-canadian-goalkeeper-jordan-santiago-193987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcalibre Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Odaine Demar has signed for West Virginia Kings/Warriors SC in the PDL, also known as the "sports ministry" of some Christian group down there. Source: the man himself's twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Here's a short article I found on the match, a 3-1 win for whufc: http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/130319/west-ham-offer-trial-canadian-goalkeeper-jordan-santiago-193987 An official trial offer, rather than just training! That's great news, nice find, thanks! Also...Jussi is an amazing keeper. I didn't realize he was 38 though. I really hope Santiago pulls this off!

madmonte Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Looking into it, Santiago's other competition at that spot...Raphael Spiegel is their current backup, a Swiss international who was starting on their U-19 squad is the most prevalent. He is currently 20. He's been at West Ham since July of last year. In other weords, no one that would significantly be ahead of Santiago. In even more clear terms...if Jussi were to retire what West Ham would ACTUALLY do is find another #1 keeper and it would be a scrap for the #2 spot, with Spiegel having the advantage.

I would get too excited. Spiegel is out for the rest of the season and rather than give Santiago a short term contract they have recalled Stephen Henderson from Ipswich where he has stated most of their matches this season.

madmonte Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Of course I'm excited. Santiago hasn't disappeared completely, and he also hasn't resurfaced to be a 3rd string keeper in like...Liechenstein or something, either. It's easy to hear news about a guy when they are linked to a premier league team, so why not get excited? At worst, they sign him and put him out on loan to a championship or league 1 side. However, as I was saying in my earlier post, have a look at the last two lines in this article I found. Even if Jussi Jaaskeleinen retires, it's not as though they'll make either Santiago, Henderson, OR Spiegel starters. http://thefootballdugout.blogspot.ca/2013/03/west-ham-on-search-for-keeper.html#more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcalibre Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Wasn't Demar called up to Jamaica U20s for the recenty CONCACAF championship? Just asked about his status on Twitter and he says "I can still play for the #CanMNT but I've been waiting FOREVER on my citizenship and I'm itching to play internationally".

Guest Brethers Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 ooh cool, I'm confused as to his club situation though. He was in Sweden last year but then I kept seeing him tweet bout playing in Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Babayale Sodade has resurfaced on trial with Harrisburg Islanders: "..in our scrimmage with Navy yesterday one of the HCI goals was scored by a player named Babayele Sodade. How did he end up in camp with us? He was recently waived by the Sounders just earlier this month. He has not signed with HCI yet but he has impressed. He is a perfect example of the type of player Becher will snag by running training camp the way we do. Also, I am sure the fact that we have an affiliation with Philadelphia made Sodade's decision to report to our camp easier. He knows that if he were to sign with Harrisburg and do well he may earn a ticket back to MLS." http://blog.pennlive.com/upper90/2013/03/harrisburg_receives_ideal_play.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, USL Pro has really done themselves a huge favour with the MLS loan agreement. They may now have positioned themselves as a preferred destination for aspiring MLS players to get scouted by the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Added Stewart and Mauro, neither of whom returned to NASL clubs this season. No further sign of Sodade at Harrisburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Sodade didn't make Harrisburg? That'd be very surprising - wonder if it's financial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
