BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 On another matter TFC's latest player signing is probably good news for a Sigma FC player where getting onto the Forge's roster is concerned: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/03/21/toronto-fc-sign-richie-laryea-former-first-round-superdraft-pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the goal is to stick with TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) What I was suggesting is that Bobby Smyrniotis probably has one of his Sigma FC players as the plan B option. Edited March 21, 2019 by BringBackTheBlizzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Isnt Laryea also a Sigma player?? Its too bad for Forge they didnt get Lareya and Sigma player plan B, especially if TFC are going to sit on Richie all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Now TFC II have loaned a Canadian keeper from FC Zurich: https://www.torontofc.ca/post/2019/03/21/toronto-fc-ii-acquire-yann-fillion-loan Judging by who he was being loaned out to over the past two years, he'll probably wind up in CanPL eventually rather than MLS.

I'm having a hard time following this, TFC does this TFC does that. This is the CPL page eh?? Doesnt Ottawa have some sort of loan deal with TFC. Why are you making the leap that the guys TFC are signing are heading to CPL?? You are posting TFC signings in the CPL thread before its even posted in the TFC thread. shamrock, grande and Winnipeg Fury 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Yann Fillion qualifies for discussion in this thread than really any Canadian playing at almost any semi-professional level in the world would qualify. Then this thread becomes pretty useless.

Ya but Richie Laryea was "expected" to play in the CPL no? That was first TFC related post.... Then im sure upon his scouring, he found another Canadian "journeyman" signing for TFC II. As far as I know, this thread has been about players coming back from wherever they are in the world to play on the CPL. Whether a random blog, podcast, voyaguer asking on twitter.... This is exactly what the thread has been about, so i guess its useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Laryea signing with TFC is great news of course. I’m happy he’s signing with a good domestic team. The list of quality players in our pool unattached shrinking is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 With a bit more digging apparently Yann Fillion is on a five year contract at FC Zurich, so he'll probably be available on loan next season as well, if it's a case of the coach that rated him being long since fired and the more recent coaching hires having no use for him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yann-Alexandre_Fillion After his time with FC Montreal, Fillion signed a 5 year contract with Swiss Super League club FC Zürich in May 2016. Might be a good fit for a newly emerging Laval or Quebec City franchise next year, if either of those were to happen. Blackjack15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but almost all discussion of players in this thread has revolved around players who seemingly have the possibility of playing in the CPL. Players who've played at a similar level, who are out of contract soon, who are available on loan, etc... I don't see how Fillion fits into any of these scenarios. If someone had posted earlier wondering if he was good enough or he or and agent had expressed interest and then he went to TFC2 I would understand. Honestly I don't care who posts what, if someone feels a player warrants discussion then have at it. It seemed to me that this thread morphed into more of a player tracker of those who have and those who will not sign in the CPL based more on news than speculation. If I'm wrong about that fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 One dude to look out for is Jems Geffrard, the Haiti international. He's out of contract in Finland, and is Canadian so he wouldn't be an international. He'd be a good fit for Pacific or any team still needing defenders. toontownman, Shway and DrummingInMySleep 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I expect to see Simeon Jackson in CPL soon. After that penalty, I think it'll be hard for him to find a job anywhere on the island.

Blackjack15 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 GK Nathan Ingham's trial with Swope Park Rangers of the USL Championship went unsuccessful, he is now unnattached. Really unfortunate because he left Calgary foothills mid season for Pittsburg Riverhounds in which he probably would have been signed as a back up to Carducci for the Cavalry Him being from the region, I'm surprised he didn't land with York 9! He's a quality signing for any CPL Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Are teams possibly saving the big names for last to fill out the last couple of spots? With that time just about there could be an exciting couple of weeks. Makes sense from a marketing perspective too. Calgary looked to have two big names with the un-named Left Winger and no Malonga. Winnipeg have been tight lipped for a few weeks with Forlan and Meneses confirmed by other sources to be talking with the club. Not sure about elsewhere though.

Now it's unfortunate that he didn't sign with a CSL team, that I agree with. Surely he'll get a spot once a couple of teams start to disappoint (which will undoubtedly happen as they can't all be top teams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
