Steedman Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Busy, busy off season! The Fort Lauderdale Strikers announced the signings of four players on Tuesday: Defenders Gale Agbossoumonde and Nana Attakora, and forwards Maicon Santos and Giuseppe Gentile. Hope the young Canadian kid keeps getting 1st team minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Maybe its just me but the best the TFC defense ever looked was with CANN and NANA at CB back a 4-5 years ago when he was a pup. Sad to see him languish in NASL, contract disputes, concussions etc really hurt his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Really you actually think the best TFC looked was with Cann and Nana at the back, no way I'm not saying they were any worse but they were just as bad as all the other dopes TFC have had back there over the years.

Bison44 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I said the Best the defense ever looked.......30 games 41 goals conceded. Look at last 2 years, 34 games and 54 and 58 goals conceded. They finally made the playoffs this year so i guess who cares. But CANN and NANA did very well that year, I didn't think that just a few years later they would both be in NASL.

Strikers should have more additions coming soon, they have 12 on the roster now and play in 11 days on January 10 vs Germany's FC Shalke 04 in the first match of the Florida Cup.

Almost every American team that has played in matches this early in preseason will play trailists. I fully expect them to play with trialists because every club does that.

I don't disagree, but I think the reason was that Preki had the team set up so ultra defensively it seemed like the team wasn't allowed to cross the halfway line sometimes. That team setup will make any CB look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedinathan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm pretty convinced that they could order an extra 50 FCEd Ledgerwood kits and they would sell out within 5 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I would argue that Ledgerwood signing with Edmonton is as big or bigger than the Fury signing de Guzman. De Guzman is the bigger name by far, but Ledgerwood has the potential to be a longer term signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Reading the @AlamoSoccer twitter account and lots of news there. The Chicago expansion of NASL, FC Dallas teaming up with Oklahoma City USL side as their 2nd team (implicitly removing part of the pressure on the USL side to compete with the new NASL team), OKC to play friendlies vs Dynamo. Still talk of San Antonio going to Las Vegas. I've been trying to follow any of the SA players and none seems to say anything about their future, still in the air. Cann is probably close to retirement, Nana was out of contract at year's end, and Fernandes has been travelling the world with no news about where he'll play out the final half year of his Twente contract. With Alen Marcina new coach at OKC, expect a few Canadian signings there, would not be at all suprised. He says he is going to look for players the world over.

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I did not realize the Spurs have bought a USL franchise for San Antonio, starting this year, so that could be a destination for former NASL players. I read fans of the Austin USL side are not happy Dallas chose OKC Energy as their new affiliate. I spend little time on NASL sites but it sure is interesting the moves being constantly made to position franchises for what seem to be future assaults on MLS franchise bids. Spurs getting a USL team has to be that, otherwise USL is too humble for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedinathan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Repost from the National team thread. For any V's who are interested in a FCEd Ledgerwood jersey. "For people looking for an FCEd Ledgerwood kit: the club has responded on Twitter to me and will be making them. Just have to call and ask for it done (I assume there will be an extra charge for it, but the jerseys are cheap last I checked). 780-700-2600" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
