Obinna Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Braga was interested in him back when he was at the Whitecaps, no? Would that be a step up from LAFC? Probably lateral at worst. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Was just checking and I see he is on 350k a year, guaranteed, the extras don't even get him to 400k. Which I find ridiculously low, and another MLS insult to the integrity of the game. If they don't offer him at least 600k, which I still think is low, he has to take a look at other options.

Probably lateral at worst. Think @Unnamed Trialist and I discussed this one time. Braga is a solid club in a very good league. Always in Europe now, in the CL this year with the possibility of advancing out of the group or at least going to the Europa league. Think it would be a really good step up for Crepeau, if they're still interested. Canuckia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few key Americans, a couple Canadians, but many stories of bench warming and the risk of not being a starter, wherever you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 LAFC exercised the club option under no obligation after the injury, so all power to them. If he really is moving on, and to Europe, that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were with Braga when they wanted Crepeau though, so perhaps at the time they wanted Crepeau to compete with Tiago for the back up spot?

Obinna Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 And I am kind of nervous about Crepeau moving now that I think of it. No better place than LAFC in MLS for him, for obvious reasons, AND if he is going to Europe that could backfire. Look at Matt Turner's situation right now. Unless you are back up at a club like Arsenal, you got to play at Crepeau's age. He's our imminent number 1 so I don't want him to get lost in the shuffle. On the flip side, no risk no reward and it would be awesome to have a keeper with a solid European club. Andre Blake is an MLS lifer, but arguably the best keeper in the league and it's been like that for a while. He backstopped Jamaica to a lot of big results (inc. recently) and playing over here never hurt him, clearly. Would he have been better had he gone to Europe at 29? Maybe we should ask ourselves that when considering Crepeau's future. Stryker911, Ivan, narduch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their "decent" Champions League campaign, they are not doing badly and most of the team has overperformed, you could argue. But it does not have to be Braga, if his agent has eyes on teams like that, then we are well-served. I think the key factor has to be that his salary is so low, for him to look for 400 euros in Europe puts him in range of teams in 8-10 leagues. For example, Borjan was making half a million at Red Star. johnyb and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I wonder if Crepeau could find a home in Liga MX? No idea what clubs need a keeper, but that could be an interesting challenge for him, especially with the club world cup around the corner. There are a few Mexican sides already qualified (I think Leon are one of them). Europe would be awesome, but I am not sure what that transition would look like. I can imagine him going to Mexico and playing right away. And regardless of the club it shouldn't be a big step up.

He was not the problem for LAFC this year and there's no reason for them to move on from him, so I read this as it's his decision.
