Moreover, it shouldn't. How else will it get even on par with USL, let alone surpass USL in quality? No it won't, but players don't just get cut because they're not "good" enough. The reason could be personality, style of play or player culture clashes. Maybe personal issues? Someone like him (who has decent USL experience) should be able to land on his feet somewhere, even if it's a no. 2 or 3 goalkeeper pushing other GK's on another team. Who knows, maybe he establishes himself as the no.1 and goes on to have a really good career. Right now, his options are limited without other pro soccer teams in Canada.

Blackdude Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Carducci is a "domestic" in MLS, so he'll have options if another MLS club saw something in him. OnkelDal and kmouseyc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 According to Tannenwald, Carducci is on trial with Minnesota United. Obinna and lazlo_80 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Interesting. Given that Minnesota only have one keeper signed, who was picked up at the draft this year, I'd have to like Carducci's chances of getting a contract. It looks like former Whitecaps GK coach Marius Rovde is in Minnesota as well, that works in his favour too. Other keepers in camp for Minnesota are Charlie Lyon (24 year old, hasn't played in MLS, two seasons with Sounders 2) and Sammy N'Djock (Cameroonian keeper who was their starter the last two years in NASL). http://www.mnufc.com/post/2017/01/24/full-mnufc-preseason-list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm sure Rovde had a big hand in bringing him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 With an expansion team anything is possible. Hopefully he catches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I'd be happy even if he was the number 2. Is he one of these true domestic Canadians? Edited January 25, 2017 by Obinna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He is a Garber domestic, yes. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Looks like Minnesota United have a new keeper. John Alvbage has joined on loan from IFK Goteborg until July with an option for an additional 18 months. Have to think he would be the #1, and N'Djock, Carducci, Lyon and Ferrell are battling for the #2 and #3 spots. http://www.ifkgoteborg.se/mobil/Nyheter/Nyhet/?v=11506 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Carducci is still with Minnesota as they travel to Portland. Ivanovski94, Ruffian, Bison44 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Well, since it was announced that Carducci was trialing in Minnesota, the club has now gone out and acquired 3 goalkeepers. John Avlbage, Patrick McClain and now Bobby Shuttleworth, who was acquired in a trade with New England today. Throw in draft pick Alec Ferrell, and I don't think it's likely Carducci signs an MLS deal anymore. I dont' know if Minnesota has a USL affiliate, but hopefully he can catch on there, or another USL club.

shermanator Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Carducci is no longer with Minnesota. Not much of a surprise given the 3 keepers the club picked up between the start of his trial and the end of his trial. Wonder where's next for him, given that NASL and USL rosters are filling up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 he's always reminded me of a youth player playing with men - for his size and stature alone. And many times, this has been the case with him, in the inability to command the box, or actually be fearful presence. But good luck to him, he's definitely a CPL candidate for me.

Dub Narcotic Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 He wasn't that good at Whitecaps 2, but maybe he could catch on as a backup at NASL or USL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
