Bison44 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Wasnt he in L10?? I think CPL scoured that league pretty good...if he was still playing well enough someone would have signed him. Or his brother would have got him a tryout in USL. He has to be 30+ now. Dicdan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Smit's hasnt played in years...hasnt he been the keeper coach at UofT?? He is only 32-33, and keepers have a long shelf life...but I think its a stretch. yothat2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Tyler Attardo should be coming back soon. He's now in Cyprus in the second divison, I bet he doesn't even play a game. More agent fuckery it seems. yothat2, toontownman and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 If I'm Valour, I make the mother of pitches to Julian Dunn. Unless transfermarkt is mistaken, his contract with TFC expires November 20, 2020. Gale has to make a pitch with a clear project for him like keeping Jean-Baptiste and building around him. Throw in there actively working on a loan in Europe during the off-season and selling him that the team will do everything in it's power to lead him towards a "Waterman" type of deal in MLS or Europe by grooming him to be one of the leagues best defenders. Also, sell him on the CanMNT willingness to call up CPL defenders like Didic and Zator. They have an opportunity here but they need to convince him not to resign with TFC if they offer him an extension. That's my thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but it was just 7 games after all, he needs to play and do it again over a full season. Then you'll see clubs come knocking. He just needs to keep in mind that he needs to play lots of minutes to puts himself in a spot that will get him noticed. If another MLS clubs wants to get him now, I'm all for it but he gets all the minutes he wants at Valour if he picks them An MLS bench is less likely to get you called to the national team. In the end, all depends on his ambition. Lastly, he's on a $57K salary, pay the man - he proved to be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more pro player than pro player than anything else so I hope you're right and this scenario happens. I'm skeptical because I have my doubts that this is what Vanney will do, I think he's more likely to sign replacements than play Dunn. It would be different if he was under Dos Santos He's a "homegrown" so would he dominate in CPL, more clubs league wide would be interested. Hard to raise your value off the bench or in USL-One. Hope he thinks about it Edited September 20, 2020 by Ansem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I really hope Zavaletta and Ciman are gone next year. And I would love to see Dunn get playing time at TFC, but I am sceptical enough that I would rather see him go to CPL again next year. If he does I think he could get sold to a better league, at least he has the potential to have that kind of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume Zavaletta will be offered a contract by TFC but likely at a reduced rate. As long as another team isn't willing to pay more he will stay. I would assume that they would give Dunn a chance over Zav. He has hardly played and this shows that they do not have a lot of confidence in him.

Bison44 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 These are all good assumtions. However past performance would indicate that Zav will get another raise...400g maybe (i think at this point he is Vanneys personal assistant), Romeo, Boskovic released, Dunn wastes another half season with USL-1/deep on TFC bench playing tiddly winks with Okello and Nelsen while some high priced CB with a pedigree from a big european club comes in and takes half the season to realize he hates turf, doesnt like travelling and MLS is not the league for him.

toontownman Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 What does Okello do. Poor sod. I really hope he gets loaned or traded. HUGE potentially being pissed down the pan right now. Is it 2 years of potential game time gone now? I guess he got time with TFCII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 It’s funny because Ali Curtis was brought in for his expertise is blooding in the academy players. I guess the jury’s still out on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Guys remember when the 3 teams went on a "signing spree" locking up all their academies and talent they could find before CPL launch? Those were for the most part short term deals and with CPL demonstrating that being signed to MLS or Europe if they perform well will have a bunch of them think really hard if they should sign an extension or look at their options, one of them being CPL Edited September 21, 2020 by Ansem narduch and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
