Big_M Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Vasas was strong in 16-17 when he was a backup..third in the league and cup final. In his only season as a starter in Hungary his team got relegated..this new start could be good for him even though he has to start in the second league and prove that he has a place in the first league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 It's an opportunity. Let's hope he makes the best of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerack Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Really good move imo not sure on the level difference between Denmark and Hungary because I don’t watch enough of either league but I’m assuming Denmark, even D2 might be higher ?

The year before they just surived in the league and before that they were in div.2 ... This is a HUGE step up in terms of the size of the club.

Denmark is a developmental league, and he'll get seen far more often than he would in the East. He's in all likelihood making more money and getting treated better too.

Obinna Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Good move and right stage of his career to make the jump from Hungary. I do not view the loan as a negative at all. He now has the chance to prove himself in a new country. He is on a 4 year deal so there is no rush for him to play for the first team. We should all be realistic enough to understand that James is not a player who'd compete for a spot on a top Danish club right away.

Obinna Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Also, this is the same club that USMNT keeper, Bill Hamid, plays for. He is currently the back up by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradMack Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If you want to know more about the level FC Midtjylland are around, check out their results in Europe for the last few seasons. Consistantly involved in Europa League qualifiers and only being put out by some pretty decent clubs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Midtjylland_in_European_football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tg11 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If he wants to grow more as a player in my opinion he needs to leave Denmark and play either in the MLS or play in the Bundesliga out there in Germany or French Ligue 1 in France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah then La Liga also works too and with him going to Spain he gets that much needed experience of playing against the world's best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatsheafSK Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Ligue 1, Bundesliga, La Liga - come on. He needs to raise his game and get into the CPL! Seriously though - I don't think that whether FC Midtjylland is a good landing spot for him or not is in question. It is obviously a step up (van der Vaart spent the last two years there riding the pine). The issue is his immediate loan, and what that means long term. FC Midtjylland had brought him in on 4 year k - so they have him in their plans; but then immediately loan him down - thus he is not in their immediate plans. This leaves the door open for someone else to sparkly/transfer in and take a future place from him. In the current situation, ideally his loan agmt has a recall clause, James hits the ground running and FC Midtjylland has a need a need for him earlier.

Guest Tg11 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 No he obviously did and I have no doubt James can too but at the same time though playing for said club will that be enough for him to get noticed by the bigger clubs of Europe down the road? I really do want to see him do well don't get me wrong but that is just my opinion on said subject He is 25 right now but to think 2026 he may not even get the chance to play for Canada in the FIFA World Cup if we are automatic hosts because by that time he will be 33 years old by then.

Yes FCM (not even gonna try and spell it) have sold a lot of players to big leagues in the past such as: - Pione sisto to Celta Vigo - Winston Reid to West Ham -Erik Sviatchenko to Celtic - Rasmus Kristensento Ajax If James puts in good performances than offers will most definrtly come his way Kent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradMack Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Another bonus for James is that Midtjylland are a really strong team in the league, so they don't really give up a ton of goals. Easier to impress playing for the big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I don't see James making it to a big European club, I hope I'm wrong. He is already 25 and I still see a lot of deficiencies in his game. If he can eventually win a starting spot at Midtjylland, I think that puts him in a position to help Canada qualify for WC 2022.
