JamboAl Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't know what the terms or duration of André's contract with Ross County are going to be. If it's a short term deal to the end of the season, then it's basically to ensure that they stay up in the SPL. If it's a longer term deal, then maybe the club is looking to get a transfer fee from him in a year's time. I'm heading up to Edinburgh and Inverness in April so hopefully will be able to watch him play live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Couldn't agree more. I've lost all interest in MLS. Same here. I never thought I'd miss the A-League, ever. Though the Toronto coaching situation right now is pretty funny. Maybe the academies will turn this around but I'm not confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 ^ Yeah I have to admit as much as I love the "local team" my interest is starting to drift a little bit. To me the second rate nature of the product is counter-balanced by the local content. No local content? No counter balance. I don't cheer for laundry. Can't comment on the other MLS teams because I didn't follow as closely but I think the number of Canadians TFC had on the roster last year was commendable. That being said, it has to be a continuous thing, not a one-off. Cordon and Makubuya got cut, no real issue with that, but we should be bringing in more guys to take their places. As a side note, a point of annoyance for me is the way Canadians are treated on MLS rosters. Nobody is going to convince me that we "need" Logan Emory on our roster any more than we need Adrian Cann. The only difference is that under MLS rules, one is more flexible and easy to trade. So we are giving jobs to marginal Americans not because of a talent gap, but because of how the rules have been calibrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And frankly, as much as I was saying (and honestly) about how I think canadians should not be given spots, they must be earned...I find it hard to watch a team like Whitecaps and cheer for them when I don't have that local content to cheer for. I was more interested in DC United than I was in the bloody team that is closest to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see there are fellow Canadians that share my views, I get crucified on the TFC board for sticking up for Canadians, it is mind boggling sometimes but everyone is entitiled to their opinion on how their club team should be composed! The Adrian Cann point is well taken, I would have him on my team over many of these American journeymen they are now counting on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am another one who would like to see much more Canadian content on TFC. I'd rather loose with Canadians then watch this team be utter SHlT with a bunch of Americans. They couldn't even be bothered to dress Canadians last year instead going for shortened bench for the second half of the season. I hope things are different this year. It was hugely disappointing and caused me to drop all but one of my tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrius Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If any of you are interested in reading what the Ross County fans think of Hainault... http://www.overthebridge.info/showthread.php?tid=825 They all seem very excited about their club signing him. Some are hoping he gets signed long enough to where if he impresses, another club won't swoop him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to claim a bias towards Americans vs. Canadians, I'd suggest you choose a different example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to claim a bias towards Americans vs. Canadians, I'd suggest you choose a different example. Are you suggesting that Canadians and Americans are now treated the same regardless of whether they play for a US team vs a Canadian team? I've been only paying half-attention MLS-wise for a while now, so it's possible that my perceptions are out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suggesting that Logan Emory made half of what Adrian Cann did in 2012, which probably had a big influence on why Emory was kept on while Cann wasn't.

shermanator Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) I was just wondering where Hainault has been this year. Turns out he's had a thigh injury all year and underwent surgery a few weeks ago. Out for the rest of the year. On the bright side, Madgeburg is one point out of a promotion spot to the 2. Liga and he's signed through next year. http://1.fc-magdeburg.de/saison/aktuelles/abwehrspieler-andre-hainault-erfolgreich-am-oberschenkel-operiert-/6260/ Edited February 15, 2017 by shermanator Toje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 If he can make a come back and feature in the 2.Bundesliga next season, I think he'll put himself in the conversation for a National Team call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Hainault seems to be recovered from his long injury but is still trying to get fit. He played in one Cup game against a lower division team a few weeks ago and has been on the bench for one league game so far. Here is an article in German. He talks a bit about hoping to return to the national team and some good memories with the team such as meeting Maradonna.https://www.volksstimme.de/1fcm/fussball-hainault-hat-endlich-wieder-spass Speaking about Magdeburg, the taught Dortmund a lesson in what support is this week in a Cup game (despite the support they lost 5-0 and Hainault did not play and was not on the bench): https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/4759051/magdeburg-borussia-dortmund-fans/ Edited October 26, 2017 by Grizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
