masster Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I thought I saw a tweet from Sigma FC congratulating their academy graduates that were taking part in MLS camps in Dallas, Orlando and Seattle. That tweet seems to have disappeared. Did anybody else see it or was I just imagining? Dallas has Bekker, Orlando has Larin, which former Sigma player (Canadian?) is in Seattle? I thought we could use this thread to track the Canadians in MLS preseason camps, especially any info on the new guys and fringe players. Orlando: Cyle Larin Dallas: Kyle Bekker Toronto: Skylar Thomas Jay Chapman Vancouver: Jovan Blagojevic Spencer Richey* Nikola Paunic Ben McKendry Christian Cavillini RSL: Jordan Murrell Dallas: Janeil Hoilett Seattle: Emeka Ononye Giuliano Frano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Anybody know if Larin got any minutes in Orlando's 1-1 preseason draw against DC? Can't seem to find a lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew W Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think the mystery player may be Emeka Ononye. There was a tweet from Gary Mellor from Beswicks Sports that included a presser about Jordan Murrell and other clients, including Ononye being invited to Seattle along with a former TFC player. Because I've been away from these boards for a while I seem to not be able to figure out the link function easily. http://www.beswickssports.com/news/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Anybody know if Larin got any minutes in Orlando's 1-1 preseason draw against DC? Can't seem to find a lineup. No Larin but no word on why: http://otowns11.com/2015/01/31/orlando-city-vs-dc-united-preseason-friendly-position-breakdown/ As an aside I wonder if Patterson was brought in to start ahead of Larin. Seems like they have a number of attacking options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 No Larin but no word on why: http://otowns11.com/2015/01/31/orlando-city-vs-dc-united-preseason-friendly-position-breakdown/ As an aside I wonder if Patterson was brought in to start ahead of Larin. Seems like they have a number of attacking options. probably platooning at forward to see who sticks. Paterson is on loan so he'd be easy to cut if he doesn't pan out.

Blackdude Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Rochez also didn't play. It's the first match, they want to make decisions on trialists. Sure they had some starters, but they didn't play a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion26 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Misleading post title but I think it should be Sigma FC graduates in MLS. They have done well producing players and hope it keeps going. Wish there was more Canadians in MLS though or at least each team have one player.

shamrock Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Also I think Larin is more of a longterm-project. Which I why I expect him to play mainly in USL Pro this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Without knowing much about their roster, Larin is behind Rochez and Danny Mwanga for sure. Shea as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They just signed Northern Ireland international Martin Paterson. They also have a young Colombian striker in Carlos Rivas. 20 yrs 36 games played for Deportivo Cali (13 goals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ya I was looking at their depth a week ago and he'll need to have a good training camp or he might get lost in the shuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 They also have a young Colombian striker in Carlos Rivas. 20 yrs 36 games played for Deportivo Cali (13 goals). They are starting to get some scary depth at striker. Rivas scoring 1 in 3 for Deportivo Cali is probably more impressive than Rochez 1 in 2 at Real Espana Without knowing much about their roster, Larin is behind Rochez and Danny Mwanga for sure. Shea as well? Naw, I think Shea will be a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 They are actually looking to use Shea as a left back. Which is a good idea IMO. I'd have loved to see Larin at Montreal this season, getting his minutes in USL Pro and occasionally in MLS. Hope they'll lend him out, kid needs to play.

masster Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Jordan Murrell played the first half in an RSL 2-1 loss to New England. RSL played all of their rookies/inexperienced guys in the first half and all of their regulars in the second half. New England did the opposite, so the RSL 'youngsters' were up against a tough lineup. It was 1-0 New England at half time with Charlie Davies scoring the goal. Started from a turnover in midfield. Not sure if Murrell is the defender that Davies burns by or not.

Bekker and Hoilett started and played the first half. Larin played the second half for Orlando. The score was 3-0 Orlando at half time. http://www.fcdallas.com/blog/post/2015/02/04/fc-dallas-drops-opening-match-2015-preseason-orlando-city-sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
