I lived in the Bay Area for over two years during my time with the Earthquakes and fell in love with the area and the people. Hopefully, we bring championships to the San Francisco area and help build a strong football community.” - Nana Attakora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 According to this article, Benito Floro wants to sign two Canadians to Alajuelense. http://www.teletica.com/Deportes/147799-Estas-son-las-primeras-peticiones-de-Benito-Floro-para-reforzar-planilla-de-Alajuelense.note.aspx From Google Translate: In that list, they emphasize two North American players that Floro already directed in the Selection of Canada and that knows perfectly. Shall we begin the guessing game on which Voyageurs whipping boy joins up in CR? Straith? Piette? Bekker? yomurphy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boominbooty Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I imagine Straith -- he's out of contract now. For fun, how about Cavallini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 If you were to ask me, I would say Floro would bring in Edgar. Don't know if the salary would improve, however. I doubt he could tempt Sam away from Spain, at least not yet. Though he'd take a step up in terms of salary for sure. Basically, it has to be someone making a hundred grand or less, otherwise they are not going to be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think we have to see this out. Two years ago at Depor but in 4th tier the whole season. Last year on loan in 3rd tier to January, then back to the Depor B team, in 4th tier. This all year and starting in third tier, and the team playing way over their head. He has only not started when with Canada. So the question is whether he is being seen by teams, and who, and if they think he could be worth a chance as a young player to move into 2nd Division. Then, clearly, he'd be at a strong competitive level and one that would be useful for Canada, as well as his finances. Playing B teams of top flight sides like Osasuna and Celta, where he is seen, as well as teams destined to be up in 2nd soon, like Santander, gives him a lot of exposure. And for sure, no doubt, scouts from other teams are watching his club, as they all know they are performing well and that they are being paid very little, the lowest budget of all clubs near them in the table.

I would love for it to be straith. He is a good age, has plenty of experience, and is a Floro favrouite to boot. He would get a lot out of playing professionally in Latin America. I wouldn't rule out Jakovic. Played a lot under floro as well, and I can't imagine he'd be returning to Japan. If you're looking for an experienced CB in concacaf you could do a lot worse.

jpg75 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is Bekker under contract for next season? I could see him going there, would actually be a decent level and playing style for him to show what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toje Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Boris Gavric is no longer with Banja Luka in the B&H 2nd tier. A shame, since he was the top scorer with Travnik last season and suffered a bad knee injury early on with Banja Luka. http://www.banjaluka.com/sport/2016/11/22/osmorka-napusta-fk-borac/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you would make that comment about Scotland, but Peñarol is a S American equivalent of Rangers or Celtic, smaller league, powerful team, huge fan base, very high profile, lots of media attention. Trouble competing in Libertadores when qualifying as economically not at the level of the major Argie, Brazilian or even Colombian clubs. Peñarol has won Libertadores 5 times, but not since '87, though they played a final 5 years ago. They've won the Intercontinental 3 times, tied for the most trophies. Re Nacional...he was a kid there, now he is an adult and experienced. And his salary likely just went up four-fold, five-fold.
