Grizzly Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 5 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: What was the reason for getting rid of or losing Ubaripovic, he seemed like one of the real talents on the team? I would assume he simply got a better offer from Indy. Ubaripovic was good but also very inconsistent, there were games he seemed above NASL level and others where he would completely disappear. He had the same problem in Montreal. When he was on though he was quite good, definitely a skilled player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we signed Michael Owen??????????????? I hate when clubs hype up players they signed who couldn't hack it at either big time Euro clubs, or small time clubs. Just throwing out the words Real Madrid or Liverpool for the sake of doing it. The Bruna signing may turn out to be a good one for the Fury (I have no idea, never watched Accrington Stanley), but don't act like you're signing some fucking big name talent when you're not. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedinathan Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 +1 to @shermanator Quick wiki search shows this guy never even saw the pitch for Liverpool, and has spent most of his time in third division clubs or lower. Since 2011 he's only played 40 games, and has less than a handful of goals. I'm reminded of Yashir Pinto with FC Edmonton in 2012 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm also reminded of the hype for the signing of "couldn't hack it at Manchester United and recently released from non-league club Grimsby Town" product Ritchie Jones. Now, he's turned out to be a solid, if unspectacular signing for FC Edmonton, but hyping him up as a former Manchester United player is ridiculous.

mianjo Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 He has played a grand total of 13 games in the last 2 seasons 5 games last year for Whitehawk FC who are in the National League South, the sixth tier of English football and 8 games this year for Accrington Stanley who are in Div 2 of the football league. I have checked the lat few games for Accrington and do not see him listed as a player. Just checked he played 6 times last season for Accrinton and only 2 times this season, both were as subs his last appearance was last October.

They also had really good run in this years FA cup. They were narrowly beaten by Dagenham and Redbridge in a second round replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yothat Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 seems like he has barely played professional soccer. Yashir Pinto and Ritchie Jones both have way more appearances/exp & have servicable careers. not sure the same can be said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fussball_eh Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There are four players left, who have been with us since day one: Mason Trafford, Mauro Eustaquio, Marcel Debellis, Carl Haworth. In addition Romuald Peiser joined us in the summer of 2014. Returning from last year are: Rafael Alves, Brandon Poltronieri, Julian de Guzman & Paulo Junior. I'm new to following a division 2 soccer team in North American, but this is a lot of turnover for a fan to handle :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianjo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The 3rd Fury goalie has been deleted from the team roster, we only have Peiser and DeBellis. Team roster is here http://www.ottawafuryfc.com/roster Actually it's worst than what you listed Fussball as you listed Trafford twice, we have 9 returning players and 9 new players so far.

As an #FCEd fan, I feel for you, but its not all that rare, especially with coaching changes. Think there were only a handful left from Sinkgraven after Miller started. Always hard (especially when you see hard working, nice guys like Hamilton leaving), but it is a part of the game at this level. Especially after a good year like Ottawa had last year. For the record, to the best of my knowledge, FC Edmonton has ONE staff who's been around since the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trillium Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I wish they would be required to name the agents any new player signed to a club has, I do not really see a pedigree on this signing that would give you sense he can step in a mid field as sub or to replace what a Ubi, brought to the club ( despite Grizzly's comments ). It will interesting to really watch the new guys and figure out if they are an improvement over what was here, ( Dalglish has promised to the take the club to a higher place this year ), or if we are going to be wallowing in the lower half of the standings or worse after the Spring season.

MM2 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yesterday the Ottawa Sun had a two page spread on the Fury, which is great coverage for this time of the year, later in the day the writer Chirs Hofley was laid off in the consolidation of newspaper offices.

Unfortunate news about Hofley ... He did a great job covering Fury. The vast majority of solid reporting came from him. His absence will mean drastically reduced quality in terms of media coverage. I hope to see him land on his feet with continued Fury reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
