shamrock Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I wonder how much actual roster shuffling is needed. To be honest the quality is already there, they are just unimaginably unfortunate. You're joking right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You're joking right? He is probably NDS in disguise posting here :-) The current team is good enough, last place forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 They've signed an eighth academy kid to a HG contract; Louis Beland-Goyette, a 19 year old MF who recently played Canada U20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzx Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 You're joking right? I was referring to injuries. If the entire lineup was healthy the team would be in quite a different place. Perhaps you didn't notice but we've been weak in the back for a while. Having Larrea instead of Mallace or Felipe and having Danso, Lopez and Soriola available at the back totally changes out defensive look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'm not fully sold. Felipe is mediocre, Bernier is halfway done, while Larrea and Mallace are question marks. I think Di Viao has to move on now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So Impact fans, how did the kids look vs. the Revs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I watched the first half and a bit of the second with the Revs feed, and they were talking about the young kids a little bit. Gagnon-Lapare had some very nice technical moments, Jackson-Hamel wasn't very good and had some bad touches. Miller and Lefevre were culpable for the second goal at least but had good moments as well. Didn't see the other new kid but he apparently came on later.

fuzzx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jackson Hamel did not impress much, he was a non-factor. But he was playing out of position on the wing. He's used to being a pure striker, so i'm willing to cut him some slack for now. He'll have to get used to it though, not likely he'll get much time up from at the point, unless we lose Jack. JGL was excellent, He started as DM and showed excellent ball control, passing and interception skills, and was frequently in the right positing to receive passes and relieve pressure. After Krol's ejection he slotted at RB and excelled. I wouldn't be surprised if they'll convert him to the position. We only have Krol and he is a liability. Saw Louis play last night and I was very impressed. Solid ball control and some great passes. He's young and inexperienced, and gave up the ball unnecessarily a few times, but that's expected This guy is legit, I think he's rocketed up the depth chart and might make the rotation again this year, but definitely next season.

Blackdude Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Actually, JGL played at left back,, a position that he has played on the national team. I don't expect to see Béland-Goyette more this season, but I could be wrong. Jérémy's a better player and can even play left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It would be huge for the CMNT if JGL can slot in and be a starter at LB. We have De Jong but he isn't all that convincing and we obviously need depth behind him.. JGL and Adekugbe look like the guys for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, them being injured all the time is a bad omen in itself. In the back I can only appreciate Camara at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keano Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 if you play CB and are from another continent, obviously DO NOT sign for IMFC as you will instantly suffer a season ending injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Montreal rebound Wednesday and salvage something from the season? RDS always do this about the Habs too, it's stupid nonsense. The two players had words over some contact at practice… the only thing newsworthy here is that RDS thinks it's newsworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading somewhere that NdS doesn't look at medical record when signing players. While I think that Rivas was what he was, I'm surprised of the bad luck that Lopez had here.

Blackdude Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 And another defensive midfielder has landed. Ghanian James Bissue who if my timeline his right has played with Gershon Koffie on the Ghana U-20 team in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 That should be a great signing. We need a central attacking midfielder so we can move Piatti to his proper position at wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Not sure where to put this, but I love how Felipe was rolling around injured until Bendik magically cured him. Acts like this are what make folks like myself hate soccer players. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/10/20/bendik-felipe-dive-toronto-fc-montreal-video_n_6015026.html?utm_hp_ref=tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was possibly the best part of that game! I loved how effortlessly and without hesitation Bendik just walks over, scoops him up and puts him on his feet. Felipe' progression as a player seems to have plateaued these last two seasons. Maybe if he grew a pair that would change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
