Keegan Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 So 41 players signed so far. Rosters estimated at 20-23 players which would put the league around 151 players total. That leaves us with around 110 players to go and around 50 days until training camp (assuming its first or second week of March).. we should be averaging around 2-3 signings a day from here.

The CPL Centre Circle Mobile App (if that's the one you mean) has been downloaded like 100 times according to Google Play. A lot of CPL and CPL related social media and online numbers are pretty shit. Kind of concerning TBH. Edited January 15, 2019 by matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yeah I only knew about it from someone posting here. There is no clear link to it on the website and they haven't pushed it enough. That said maybe they are using these first few months to iron out the kinks and test it out before pushing it hard just prior to season start. Just 100 people. That makes me more sad I didnt win the "one of the 5 signed training jerseys" competition. I doubt even half of that 100 even entered lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I haven't gotten the app yet. I heard it mentioned on here at some point but it sounded like they weren't sure if it was an official CPL app or not. Have kind of been waiting for that but maybe I'll get the app tonight.

Kent Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Sorta related to this thread. Nice article here. https://canpl.ca/video/sandor-forge-fcs-zajac-takes-control-of-future-with-canadian-premier-league-move Zajac pointing out that getting drafted in MLS isn't necessarily all that great. The stats are cherry picked or glossed over, but the point is still valid in my opinion. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that many of the international players will show-up in camp looking to earn contracts. Caps got Camilo out of nowhere this way. A couple of those guys could really move the league forward quickly. Keegan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktf Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Firstly, I am not too worried about the amount of players still needed. I do not doubt that most teams probably have multiple signings lined up/completed, but are just stalling for marketing purposes. That just makes sense, as frustrating as it is for us fans. In addition, as a few people have noted, most teams will have spots (maybe 3 to 7ish?) open going into camp for random internationals and open trial guys, It is also really unique to consider that seven teams are building a roster from scratch. Most established teams in a transfer window or offseason make maybe 1/3 of a roster turnover. Obviously it varies with the circumstances. It will certainly make for a very interesting first few weeks in the league. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zem Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I recently noticed there's quite a few decent Canadian goalkeepers out of contract right now: Angelo Cavalluzzo (previously at TFC II) Tomer Chencinski (Shamrock Rovers) Nathan Ingham (Pittsburgh Riverhounds) Callum Irving (Ottawa) Darrin McLeod (Swope Park) Quillan Roberts (LAFC) Jonathan Viscosi (TPS) Some of these guys could definitely be CPL starters, and any of them would be solid signings.

RickC Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 What about Roberto Stillo, last season's joint GK of the year in L10? With his experience in Italy too, one would think he'd have a shot with a CPL club. youllneverwalkalone and shamrock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not surprising that L1O guys are out of contract, although I'd love to see Stillo complete the comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With TFC not bringing Jansen back, Ricketts leaving and not being replaced, and Altidore getting older (and continuing to be injury-prone), he should have a good opportunity to see some good minutes this season. It will be up to him to run with this opportunity, and hopefully get a starting role the following season if one of/both of Altidore and Gio don't return to TFC. Never really thought he would end up in CPL this season. Obinna, toontownman, Keegan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Provided he gets minutes this is good news for Hamilton. It's make or break though this year and he wont get the minutes unless he is pushing for them with his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice list! Also: - Mark Village (FCC) - Nolan Wirth (Phoenix - now in VMSL) - John Smits (where is he??) - Marcel DeBellis Plus guys who should be looking for a loan.. Melvin, Pantemis and Busti. Including Stillo, who @RickC mentioned that’s about 15 keepers that could be potentially on CPL teams. Assuming there are 2 keepers a team and Oxner will end up with HFX, there are about 10 spots remaining. Zem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
