Blackjack15 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Amer Didic was born in Bosnia but raised in Edmonton I think after 3 seasons of being in and out of the 18’ at Sporting Kansas City for MLS matches and being loaned out to the USL side without getting a chance to play for the first team It would be a wise decision to sign for FCE and return to play in the CPL He’s already been called up to the national team once but this can give him a better look Considering his age (23) and his position (CB) important that he plays week in and week out The club has his options for 2019 & 2020 Hope he makes the decision to part for a better place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 This is where the level of the CanPL salary cap and/or green card related issues very much come into play. Given the Edmonton angle, he may be one of the players that Steven Sandor contacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack15 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Absolutely, he makes $54,000 US which converts it into $70,000 CDN. Theres many examples like this throughout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Didic could start somewhere else in MLS. I don't think going to CPL would be the ideal move for him. yothat and soccer.shocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance.. if he can’t get a single appearance with SKC or the CMNT (when any mls quality defender would start) something is up. I haven’t seen him play so maybe everyone is overlooking him but it seems doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Unfortunately it sounds like he’s at an in between level. Too good to get sent to USL and not good enough to start. His career is going to waste away at 53k USD if nothing changes. yothat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Every time I click on a thread about a guy like this I expect to read that he's signed in League1 Ontario. BenFisk'sBiggestFan and jpg75 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 You never know, just because he cant get over the hump at SKC doesnt mean there isnt another team out there that he could at least get some starts to prove whether or not he can handle the jump in quality. Especially with more expansion in MLS coming down the pipe. And is training with the big club for the last month that bad compared to playing 3-4 USL games??

There is definitely no place in MLS where he is a sure starter. When SKC is healthy he doesn't even make the bench, and they are a relatively poor defensive team this year. He doesn't even stand out in USL the way he did last year. He'd get minutes on a team like Colorado, but Didic turns 24 this year...he needs to go to a team where he'll play every matchday. Anything that's not regular minutes at this stage in his career is a bad move. Hope he goes to CPL or Scandinavia or one of the USL teams making the jump to MLS in the next few years.

Bison44 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 And as we speak both Didic and Lindsey (FB thats been in the SKC 18 lately as well) are down with Swope Park playing Reno in the pouring rain. Reno holding one of the playoff spots in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, for his size, ability, he looks like a great prospect. But he needs minutes This is a bit of the old NCAA mentality, or could be (hope I am wrong). These kids sit around 4 years being good college kids, with few minutes in the early years, and short seasons, then do the same on MLS clubs. Instead of making a fuss, demanding a loan, pushing a bit. They get to 25 and they are still in mental diapers in soccer terms. Sort of ticks me off--what a way to waste a young talent.

But without college soccer this is a guy that would have been out of the game. He didn't even play in NCAA but at some no-name NAIA school. I get your point, and largely agree, but Didic's case is slightly different. But it is time he gets hungry, and bets on himself to advance his career or it will be over pretty quickly and he'll only have the CPL option.

Bison44 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Maybe I just look at this the wrong way. He didnt get a game with SKC last year. This year he has been up with the big club and in the 18 a fair bit, to me that means he is only one tight ham string or one red card from coming in for part of a game. Isnt that some sort of progress? After a disapointing last year he stuck it out and should at least be learning from the other SKC defenders in training. SKC must see something to bring him back after last year and to include him in the 18 so much (he still has 15 games with swope park as well). That first game will be the hardest and if he ever does get in and show he can handle it at least he'll have the confidence to keep plugging away. Its hard to believe if it doesnt work out that he cant latch on somewhere as the 4th CB on a roster (with more expansion teams coming all the time). I guess he is the kind of guy the CPL should be able to lure away. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Technically it's not a European (EU) passport and no, it's not a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Scores on a nice far post header (pretty easy actually) to help SPR to a 2-1 win that keeps them in the playoffs. He has also been captaining the side most of the season. deschamp86 and yothat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Released by Kansas city today, will have to go through MLS waivers..so still might have a shot somewhere else in MLS. Good enough to latch on with another USL club (IMHO) with an eye towards making MLS. Where does he play next year?? CPL bound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullback Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 He has signed with San Antonio FC so no CPL for him. Should probably take him well out of senior team consideration as well. https://www.sanantoniofc.com/news_article/show/978420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably $$$. I wonder how long before the CPL can pay higher salaries to players than the USL. Edited December 18, 2018 by Vince193 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
