In all seriousness, as much as Edgar came into his own last year, I expect great things from him this year. Very hopeful for him, real talented guy.

Obinna Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I love it. Not only is it his proper level, but I like to see two canucks on the same team. Doesn't hurt to have our players playing together week in week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I don't know about the veracity of the rumour but it might come from Hume being one of the eight players training separately at a gym in Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 It would be nice to see a number of our guys playing for the same teams, though I wonder if that will make it more difficult to secure them for international play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youllneverwalkalone Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 They just sold their best striker, Jay Rodriguez, to Southampton (I think). Not sure if he was replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wondered that as well, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue if it was only two. Doesn't seem like a problem whenever the USA calls up Bocanegra and Edu.

I'm newer to being THIS in depth with knowing where all the Canadians are (probably only last three years I've taken a big interest), and it seems like there has never really been this big of number of guys who are displaced without clubs who we didn't expect! Hope they all find work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youllneverwalkalone Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Whitecaps are rumoured to have made a 200k bid at the deadline which, I assume, was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Whitecaps are rumoured to have made a 200k bid at the deadline which, I assume, was rejected. I'm sure if that offer was made it would have been accepted, more likely that they were offering a lower wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beaver Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Oh, I would LOVE if Hume came to Vancouver! And the fans would love him, too. He'd be a good fit with MLS.

Marc Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Reports say that MK Dons made a loan bid but since it didn't cover his full wages Preston declined. A move to Milton Keynes isn't exactly a step up as we may have hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I heard the Caps offered him a contract, but retracted immediately after discovering that despite being born in Scotland he has decided to represent Canada internationally. hahaha, love it. But yes, Humey would fit in perfect with Rennie and the Caps style playing off a CF or as a wide attacking option. I believe he'd be an upgrade over Camilo but I don't want to lose Camilo - but also fear based on "cap" rules they couldn't afford to keep Camilo in this case.

Lord Bob Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'd take Hume over Camilo any day. Camilo is more skilled at the feet but Hume is more versatile and I'm not sure where Camilo fits in if Mattocks keeps delivering and Miller meets any sort of expectation.

nolando Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 FWIW, Hume is still in exile. Someone purporting to be his friend posted this on one of the PNE forums, where is regularly being raked over the coals, this after receiving possibly the worst "good riddance" in footballing history: Originally Posted by Eddie7 Where do you get this drivel from,Iain Hume has not been given any opportunities to rejoin the squad.Iain was left in little doubt that he would not be part of the squad before pre season started, he may not agree with the manager or his methods( I am assuming this to be the case) but he has never at any time during his career refused to work for his team. The reason he left Barnsley was Mark Robins preferred to play with a lone target man, Iain left to get more playing time and took a substantial cut in wages to do so. Rant over!! http://www.pne-online.net/forum/showthread.php?74802-Whats-going-to-happen-to-Hume/page16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
