shermanator Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) 1997 born. Made his NASL debut and first NASL start last Saturday with FC Edmonton. Has been to a number of U-17 and U-20 camps, and started in the U-20 win against England in March. Word on the street is he is heavily hyped, not just in FC Edmonton circles but outside of these circles as well. Also eligible for Bangladesh as his parents were born there. Also, Shome is still taking engineering classes at the University of Alberta while playing pro soccer. Must be an incredibly smart kid. http://the11.ca/2016/04/20/fce-teenager-shome-made-nasl-debut-saturday-wrote-university-exam-tuesday/ Edited April 21, 2016 by shermanator hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Shome is reported to be the first Generation Adidas Canada signing. Article also says a transfer from FC Edmonton to MLS? Was he still under contract? Hope the Eddies are getting a decent transfer fee. http://www.sportingnews.com/soccer/news/sources-edmontons-shamit-shome-to-become-first-generation-adidas-canada-signing-in-mls/1ulhp5mozsi0l1xvxj4gd6n8hv hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) If true (and we already have a tweet saying it's not true), then I would imagine FC Edmonton would want a hefty fee for Shome. Not to mention, he's halfway through his second year at U of A for an engineering degree, would he give that and almost certainly big NASL minutes up without knowing where he would play? Or if he were to get minutes? Or if he were even to be drafted? Perhaps the Callum Irving GA contract and subsequent not being drafted is making me think Shome is taking a big time risk here. 31 minutes ago, Soccerpro said: Global Premier Management tweeted a response saying not true, the first GA Canada signing will be a young striker from the GTA.

lazlo_80 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The difference between Shome with the CGA designation and Irving is that won't count against the cap and possibly (I can't remember if this is true or not) not even count as a foreign player. Irving counted as both and likely on a decent cap hit considering his contract was negotiated before the draft. Good for him! Wish him all the best! also just to add more flame to the fire, Ives said the Canadian GA player would be the outside back from Syracuse who's name escapes me at the moment.

The release from the CSA doesn't say anything about whether GA Canada players will actually be domestic league wide, just that they will be available to all teams (ie. available for the draft). "Mirroring the existing Generation adidas program, Generation adidas Canada will see MLS work closely with Canada Soccer to identify top domestic talent in Canada and sign these players to Generation adidas contracts. Signed Generation adidas Canada players will be made available to all MLS clubs each January via the MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas." http://www.canadasoccer.com/mls-announces-collaboration-with-canada-soccer-on-youth-development-initiatives-p160185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Just wait until MLS pays FC Edmonton a transfer fee for Shome. Then he goes undrafted, and re-signs with the Eddies. Soccerpro and hamiltonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazlo_80 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I know this is off topic but the bigger question for this draft is if the CSA adds any academies to the "approved Canadian academies" list before it happens. For example if sigma is added before the draft suddenly Awuah becomes domestic league wide which would improve his chances of being drafted immensely.

I think they are just clarifying that Shome is technically not the first. That is how I am reading it. Sabetti says there was a transfer fee involved and that there may be more than one Canadian GA signing.

yothat Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Assuming Shamit didn't trial with any european clubs with his engineering schedule. Why not sell Shamit to a bigger club and loan back to fced for his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It makes sense to sign him as he's already one of the most promising Canucks out there. But another year at Edmonton wouldn't be bad for him either, Miller likes his play and will put him out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
