Keano Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 That young already four seasons of Eurpean football under his belt, too. Yes, when I saw Swiss D2 I wasn't very impressed but when you compare his games played by that age, to a local kid here toiling that long in USL or PDL or NCAA it looks like a pretty good depth/youth signing with upside.

Ours worked out great! As for the development the best thing that ever happened was NO CAP HIT for homegrown! So your salary cap will be close to 3 million for those you don't develop. Once the academies get rolling you'll see a huge advantage because if you can keep half your team home grown you have a total cap of 5-6 million. Yea I know how long that will take but it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 the more young Brazilians signed the better for our national team 3-5 years later! ie, Camilo! I dream, I dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that work for players the Impact now sign that are homegrown by the Impact previously in the USL/NASL? i.e. Ilcu/Crepeau/Agourram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 ^Yes. MLS will recognize the NASL year as counting toward the 1 year mimimum to sign a home grown player. We did this with Teibert and Khalfan. Also, Tim's post is a little overstated. Homegrown players still must fit into the developmental rosters (ie. off-budget) and the salary structure thereof ($32-42k). The only exception is that two players per year can be added as Generation Adidas. We've done this with Teibert and Alderson. The GA contracts usually run 2-4 years. So you might be able to have 6-8 GA players on your developmental roster at a given time. But once these guys go "on-budget" they could have large contracts to contend with. (Teibert's is only 55K, but in theory these guys can sign for whatever the market will bear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macksam Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 And almost of the Spanish National Team plays on two clubs. Really, outside of Barca and Real Madrid, La Liga with its restrictions isn't very good. The EPL minus Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Man C, Tottenham isn't good. Quite frankly, it's actually very autrocious to watch most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappinchris Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Pascal Chimbonda would probably be a solid right back in MLS. On the physical side he has played in the top 2 English divisions which after lots of discussion on this and many soccer forums isn't the most technical league BUT it is physical like MLS...

pappinchris Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't see it happening (making final roster) ... he might be with us in training camp but his heart won't be in it and ya he has lost a step as well. Hopefully we will get something decent in return if we trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I suggest trading him for 2 draft picks if they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 This is MLS and there is a sucker born every minute, but I doubt many teams would be interested in trading for Ching regardless of what he cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lattes Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 OUCH! Ching may be past his 'prime' but he is still pretty damn good. They have to send him out on the town to meet Montreal women, his heart will be in it soon enough. Took a while but look at Beckham, his family likes LA now, so they dont want to move. Montreal is an awesome city, shouldn't be hard to sell him on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opie Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 NASL scoring champ Etienne Barbara is apparently angry at the Montreal Impact since they aren't really interested in him and retain his MLS rights through a discovery claim. You can understand his frustration since he cannot negotiate with any MLS club. It is one of MLS's kooky rule they need to get rid of. But no team has shown interest in trading for him. So he is stuck. Never mind MLS not wanting him, 20 goals at the D2 American level isn't getting him any overseas offers either. I guess they think the NASL is akin to the Isthmian League or something. So basically he is a player no one really wants at the moment. He doesn't want to return the NASL, unless as a last resort, since he knows that would be a huge blow for his career. I hope Montreal just cuts him loose since he is not worth anything. Let him go try to catch on with another MLS team. He might not even make a MLS squad. I think Barbara has to realize that he has to prove himself at a higher level than the Malta league or NASL before anyone gives a bleep about him.

Hmmm, I guess he wants to stay in the US/Canada then? I'm sure MTL is interested in him if they put in the claim but probably not at the $$ he wants. He should to catch on with a team in Mexico.

My understanding is that MLS negotiates player contracts on behalf of the clubs. If some other club in MLS wanted him, I'm sure the Impact would "sign" him and receive some allocation in return. I suspect MLS did give him an offer in $100k range and he turned it down wanting more. He's blaming the Impact now, but I don't think they are holding him hostage.

No chance they offered him 100k, my guess is something more like 50-60k which is why he turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
