Barthez-Battalion Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm not entirely sure but I think that his suspension only applies to competitive games, so he would be eligible to return to the program after the Gold Cup. Having said that, I think that Olivier burned some serious bridges with the CSA (not just with Stephen Hart), so I've pretty much considered his national team career to be over. I would be extremely surprised to ever see him back again. He's also 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Occéan would be available for Canada for the last Gold Cup group stage game asuming that French Guiana loses to Honduras or that Canada doesn't get French Guiana in its first two games. I do think that what happened for him to get a 6 game ban is the reason I can't really see him back with the national team. He didn't get a 6 game ban for his red card. Maybe one game for that. If Occéan scores for fun at Odd, he could be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was much skepticism to his 'injury', add in his comments about training with Fonseca still involved with the program - IMO we won't see him back.

Obinna Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 While I am pumped about our young attacking prospects, such as Hamilton and Larin, I would welcome back a 33/34 year old Occean if he displays an incredible strike rate in Norway. They say "if you're young enough, you're good enough". I believe that holds true for the older guys as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcalibre Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 sure thing Prince Andrew. I'm guessing OO is technically under contract with Frankfurt until July, but that he was told a while ago that he was free to find a new club and maybe took a wage cut or something (without actually mutually terminating the contract). Because Frankfurt still hold his registration, the first 6 months in Norway will be structured as a loan before a new 18-month contract comes into play at the end of the loan.

Because Frankfurt still hold his registration, the first 6 months in Norway will be structured as a loan before a new 18-month contract comes into play at the end of the loan. He definitely didn't take a wage cut, that would be pointless. He's on loan so whatever his contract with Frankfurt pays him he gets guaranteed, it's just a matter of what % Odd is paying. I assume that Odd is covering whatever amount Occean will be paid throughout the new deal that starts in July and Frankfurt is covering the excess wages until July.

aloyol Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If OO starts scoring at a nice rate in Norway he should get a chance to be back with the MNT if he is interested. We can really ignore an in form striker. But let him prove himself first, he hasn t seen a lot of action lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonte Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Strange - Hutch could be useful to a number of teams in the EPL - but West Ham especially given their position and loss of African players in the next month. But Bestikas has a chance at a title, so that must be worth something in Turkey. Actually Alex Song wasn't selected by Cameroon. (Being a Barca pine rider trumps being a factor in the Premiership apparently?) This will be a definite factor in West Ham's interest level in Hutch. Anyway, Song was so butt-hurt by his exclusion he subsequently has immediately retired from international football. Personally I think that puts a wrap on the Hutch to West Ham rumors.

Song was indeed a late call up yesterday to the Cameroon squad, that's why he wasn't in the lineup for the FA Cup match. http://talksport.com/football/west-ham-without-song-until-february-midfielder-gets-late-africa-cup-nations-call Now it seems he DID make a u-turn after this and retire from international footy.

Obinna Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ah, I honestly don't think league one is beyond Hume, considering he's scored plenty of goals there. Would be awesome to see him in MLS. Could see him doing well in the SPL. Don't want to see him anywhere near Germany after Jackson's experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see him doing well in the SPL. Don't want to see him anywhere near Germany after Jackson's experience. Humey is more than capable of League 1(not Ligue 1). Id like to see him in the SPL(if Terry can play there surely Hume can) or Championship (wishful thinking I know). MLS would be a decent option for the right price as well.

A_Gagne Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Better question... when does Hume get brought back into the national team picture. I personally would love to see him in the mix against Iceland and the GC. Seriously, which other striker is scoring right now? (that actually wants to show up for us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Surprised this hasnt been posted. David edgar has moved to hudersfield town in the championship on loan till the end of the season. Good move if he gets more playing time. Will be in top shape for gold cup and wcq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarnado1555362291 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 De Jong apparently banned from training, and "released" from Augsburg due to his displeasure.

shermanator Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Also, Edgar's loan to Huddersfield is good news. The new manager at Birmingham clearly didn't rate him, so this way he gets more minutes. IMO, it was stupid on de Jong's part to sign with Augsburg for the season. He had seen a huge reduction in minutes, why sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
