Unnamed Trialist Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I knew Condom as a lower tier player (maybe because of the name), he is from up the coast from Barcelona. I see he took the Belgian team to top flight for their first time ever, good for him. Condom is actually a fairly common Catalan name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Not going to lie, assuming this is where Piette has signed, I'm disappointed the Impact are the destination.

jonovision Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm looking forward to Piette riding pine behind Donadel and Bernardiello... jpg75, A_Gagne and shermanator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Judging by his play at the Gold Cup and Montreal's current defensive form Piette should be a starter. Hopefully he uses his chance to really get noticed. Unfortunately I think this will limit his development to a solid MLS player now that he has joined the cult of no return. Still, this is better than staying where he was. There is room for growth in the MLS as well. I don't want to be to negative.

Boominbooty Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Ugh, I wish he went to Belgium. Get with a decent club, maybe play in Europa League or even Champions League. Truly develop into a leading starter for years to come. sose and SpecialK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Piette will have his opportunity. Donadel can't play a lot of games. It might be less games this year, but I think it's a great opportunity for him from 2018 because I expect he'll start for sure then.

Ivan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I actually like this move and wish him all the best (except against TFC!). Higher level and get to watch him more. Just my opinion, but I was never impressed with Donadel or Bernardello. Bernier worried me a lot more. I hope Piette gives more angst in our derby matches!

C2SKI Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I like the move. I do hate the structure of MLS contracts, and the difficulties players seem to sometimes run into transferring out. It's not impossible though, and at least now we might actually get to watch Piette play at club level, and really take stock. I can't say I've had that opportunity before. Besides, the Gold Cup final was flooded with MLS players, and neither Canada nor Piette is beyond that level yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Not necessarily the ideal outcome from a CMNT perspective, but MLS has to be a step up from the Spanish 3rd tier. Kind of a trade off - maybe not as likely to lead to a top tier league as if he had stayed 'across the pond' but also the chance to play with some CMNT peers, continue developing at a higher level of play, and maybe even work on Tabla a bit. And while he had a strong GC, it's not like all his past play has indicated he was inevitably destined for a top Euro league. All in all, I am okay with the move.

jpg75 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So disappointing. He was probably offered more $$$ than Spanish Segunda. Now he's probably trapped himself for good in MLS. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion26 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Maybe not he could develop into a great player.... If he gets to play many games he will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the true test. If he ends up parked behind Donadel on the depth chart all year this won't be a great move for us, the MNT fans. That's not to say it's a bad move for Piette himself, as we don't know the offers that were on the table. Ansem and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC_Hali Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Good move for him IMO if true. I look at this as a replacement for Arregui- spot starter with likely a bigger role moving forward in 2018. Bernier (37), Donadel (34) and Bernardello (32) have all regressed this year. He's also better than Mallace, Shome, Beland-Goyette and right now Choiniere.

There is always the risk that you get stuck behind better players when you do this. It's on the player to earn their spot at the new club. At least in Montreal the club will have a vested interest in playing a local kid. He won't get this anywhere else he goes. Keegan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So, when do I start the "Piette to Bologna" rumours? hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 We really have no idea how this turns out but Montreal has the oldest midfield in the league so definitely seems promising to be a young local guy coming in. Obviously you wish he reached higher in Europe but this is a step up still... probably better than segunda and who knows what happens.. he's still only 22 shockingly. With the way the fans have treated Bernier I'm happy, even as a tfc fan. I hope Piette becomes a guy I hate at club level and love at national team level. He certainly cranked it up a notch this summer now let's hope it's real and not a blip. I think this is a good move for him and Canada on the whole. I don't think there is a club in mls that will take care of their own better than Montreal, so long as they are worthy. dyslexic nam and BCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact local Biello is there will only enhance that fact. He will have his chance he just really needs to seize it. Bernier being dropped was strange but I think it was a case of him being written off due to his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisinOrleans Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Another Québec player in Montréal - bravo! Now, if Piette and Bernier start together, and bring their chemistry from the Gold Cup, well, the Impact season might be salvaged. If they continue to see good performances from Jackson-Hamel as well, it could be the defining moment where we realize that Montréal produces amazing local talent. Lâche pas! Now, will someone give Olivier Occéan a call and tell him Ottawa needs a proven goal scorer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
