itsinmyhead Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I really hope Aron Mkungilwa gets a shot. He's shown a ton of promise with FC Montreal and might be the replacement for Oyongo we are looking for when he inevitably goes to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There's lots of talk of Ignacio Piatti going back to Argentina with renowned club Boca Juniors in a straight out transfer. Boca just unloaded Tevez to China for a large sum and are said to be interested in the Nacho man. So far Saputo camp not willing to provide information. Piatti has 1 1/2 years left on his contract. There was also talk of San Lorenzo Piatti's previous club wanting to bring him back. Wasnt Boca also responsible for screwing the Impact last summer transfer window in obtaining a striker from another argentine club that the Impact helped out in the deal only to sign the player themselves? if Nacho goes it would leave a serious hole so the transfer better be worth a lot to compensate for his replacement. http://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1009346/ignacio-piatti-ne-rencontrera-pas-joey-saputo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just to put it in this thread too, the Impact re-sign Kronberg. However, he will be the #3 keeper. http://www.impactmontreal.com/en/post/2017/01/09/impact-comes-terms-new-deal-eric-kronberg Quote He will push our first two goalkeepers, Evan and Maxime, to excel throughout the next season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 This thread has been slow, - surely a reflection of the Impact off-season. I'm surprised at how little the Impact have done in the off-season, all things considered. It appears the message is "continuity" seeing as though they did so well last season. I'm afraid with they aging players they have, there's little indication that they are going to be better than last year. I'd like to see a few new faces to mix things up on the squad and build some competition for places. They are going to need someone to take the scoring pressure of Piatti - it's unlikely he's going to have another season like last year. Let's hope for something to build a bit of interest in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Blerim Džemaili is having quite a year for Bologna and the Impact will be getting him in July if not earlier. Hopefully Tabla (who is already way better than Ricketts in every way /s) will get some playing time and pot a few goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The Impact said their focus was ensuring the corp players they had remained in Montreal for this season. So even though they lost Drogba (less role w team, aging) Bekker, Toia (replaced by Duvall), and Venegas, the Impact will have Romero back and have held on to Oyongo, Oduro, and Piatti. Plus it's a good time for the young players to develop they'll have a role to play which is good for Lefevre, Tabla, Choiniere, Jackson and LBG. Plus Dzemaili in summer window for reinforcements. I don't think it will be as bad as 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 http://www.985sports.ca/soccer/nouvelles/700-000-pour-acheter-oyongo-819159.html Defensemen Ambroise Oyongo is getting interest from the French league Montpellier and Dijon FC. Dijon offered $700k to acquire him but Montreal are asking $2M. Oyongo earns only $75K a year. Montreal have to make a decision because his contract is up in 2017 and he will be free to leave the club with being compensated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miel de maple Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Does anyone know if Shome is at pre-season camp? I don't see him in any of the training videos and he wasn't on the u20 camp list for Mexico.. strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerpro Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I think he has a great shot at starting off with sub minutes off the bench and proving he deserves more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is what happens if Canada makes the U20 World Cup and Tabla is selected for that and the Francophonie Games? Time with the Impact will be limited for that reason.

shermanator Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Meilleur-Gigeure is training with the first team today. Likewise with Tabla. Choiniere is still injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The new secondary jersey was unveiled. I like the little details but would've liked it more with Montreals Red Cross on the shirt like Inter Milan just add the civic flowers like a retro look ⚜️?☘️ heres the video. Another excellent production by Impact Media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already ahead of Adekugbe in the pecking order given that he's an NCAA draft pick turned MLS depth player, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. He has the kind of pedigree where he would instantly walk into our starting eleven and we would finally be a legitimate World Cup contender.

Dub Narcotic Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 At least Lovitz actually wants to play for the Whitecaps, unlike Adekugbe. Although with Harvey, de Jong, Levis, if he returns this year and Adekugbe, if he returns this year, they already have a lot of guys who can play LB.

Lovitz is now on trial at the Impact, not at the Whitecaps. That was the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
