nolando Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 12 hours ago, Aird25 said: I hope we keep him for another season. He’s really only taken off in the last 10 games or so, and I think we could ask a lot more for him if he proves it over a longer time frame. And we don’t really have a replacement for him It's interesting because this reminds me so much of discussion about what the Caps should do with Haber after his breakthrough season with the USL club at Swangard, playing in tandem with Gbeke iirc.

Obinna Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 He couldn't really help his team today against Cavalry. He got his pk goal which is good for him, but I was not particularly impressed with his overall performance today. Mind you, none of the Pacific players had a strong game. Cavalry is definitely the class of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he’s scoring against the better teams. 5 of the 9 were against Calgary and Forge, and that’s the first that wasn’t from open play johnyb and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Blockbuster news (in CPL terms) but he's left Pacific FC to join Forge along with Alessandro Hojabrpour. https://pacificfc.canpl.ca/article/thank-you-terran-campbell-and-alessandro-hojabrpour The best part is the shade at them thrown by Kah.

Both players came through an era of the Whitecaps academy where I know the accusation of a lot of the prospects was that they were too content, and weren't willing to work hard enough to progress. That is the one thing I wonder about so many of the WFC2 players now ending up in the CPL - how many of them *really* want to progress onwards, and how many of them are quite content to just play at that level where they maybe don't have to exert themselves quite as much. nolando, red card and Dominic94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I actually love PMK for those quotes and man I know forge lost but rich get richer and why join the losing team ? I don’t know but what was built on the isle is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying that both players had Europe and MLS interest, but even if only MLS was interested it makes no sense to join another CPL team. Unless they're getting an MLS-level wage, but then one really has to wonder how Forge can afford it. toontownman and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) MLS interest could simply be a training camp invite and interest from Europe could easily also be on a short tryout somewhere like the Swedish second tier. What would you do if the Forge says here's a better contract than you had with Pacific for all of 2022 with an option for 2023, you better sign now or we'll be looking elsewhere...

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I agree that Terran is a great prospect and I'd think he could find a Scandinavian 2nd tier contract. But you need the agent, some resources, and some clear idea of a path. Signing for Forge: at least your merit is being recognized by a rival. I suppose they raise the wage (but what, 30k to 40k?). In general: yes, a mostly lateral move. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I personally found Baboulli and Welshman to be incredibly wasteful and frustrating to watch. I expect that Campbell will be near the Golden boot leaders this year given the service that will be provided. The only reason I don't like this signing is that ot takes away playing time from Paceus. Pottsy3, gator, NVsoccer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It’s easy to say they had interest from here and there ….but is it concrete? Is it real? Im hoping Forge can pull off an upset. Them getting stronger is key to this possibility. The Real Marc and HochelagaFC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Forge fan I love the move obviously because Campbell is an upgrade over them, and over Paceus. But I have to admit I had hoped Campbell could translate his play into an international transfer. ted and gator 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dre Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 For me, their move to Forge makes sense. 1) Bobby is a great coach & he has contacts in Europe. 2) Forge has 2 big CCL matches in February against a Cruz Azul (more prime time exposure). 3) Forge is the best organisation in CPL at the moment. gator and Grandbloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
