Kamal Miller

[canadianbacons 87]

I think at least one of the Canadians available will get selected, with Miller and Cornelius probably most likely.

It would be great if they selected Clement Diop (not an Impact fan), so that potentially Pantemis could become the starter.

Austin only has five picks in the expansion draft from all these players available..they need to build a squad so much less complicated to pick five that they want and sign them then to pick and trade

[Kadenge 2,103]

Hope Kamal gets picked by Austin. He's not going to get time at CB with Orlando. I guess the same applies to Derek at Vancouver unfortunately.

If Diop gets picked is he still able to play tonight?

His contract with the impact is till the 31st, just like Jackson-Hamel who has been released but is on the Impact roster for tonight.

Cornelius had the second most minutes of any CB on the team and the 7th most minutes of any Whitecaps player

[Big_M 1,907]

Austin already got two lb's in trades

I thought he lost out to the serbian CB?

Yeah he lost his spot in the final stretch of the season, but he was still used pretty heavily on the whole.

Miller to Austin FC

[JuicyHam 463]

Good pick up. Hopefully he slots right into that starting CB job 

[saladroit 480]

traded to montreal!

Sent to Montreal for 225k GAM + First round pick in 2021 Superdraft

[JuicyHam 463]

That was quick 

[Lansdude 394]

Bodes well for his starting at CB.

yep, montreal plays with 5 at the back and he should fit very well as a LCB with binks at CB and waterman at RCB

[Dominic94 760]

I’m pissed Austin didn’t keep him, but I’d imagine Montreal has their CBS set now. He should start.

[Olympique_de_Marseille 2,772]

The $225k is more than I would have guessed. Henry clearly sees big things in him.

He started for Orlando against the Impact on November 1st (1-0 win for Orlando) and clearly left an impression.

Miller will replace Jorge Luis Corrales I guess.

[archer21 523]

Gave up a decent amount to get him, so you’d expect they plan to start him. Not sure what that means for Yao, Waterman.

[dyslexic nam 9,908]

Yeah, I can’t see them giving that much up just to sit him on the bench.   
 

I would have been happy for him to get a starting CB role in an expansion team that will likely be defending lots but I don’t mind the prospect of him getting a starting CB role in an established team that will likely be defending lots...

Will it be:

Bassong - Miller - Binks - Waterman - ZBG

in Henry's "back 5" or are Bassong & Miller competing for the same spot at LB/LWB?

I think Kizza will start at LB, and Camcho might be ahead of Waterman as well.

[Floortom 1,341]

Great - hope he gets a chance to show what he can do at CB. 

[Obinna 8,595]

Pretty good fit for both Montreal and Miller. 

[Olympique_de_Marseille 2,772]

Ok, another question.

Miller made ~$56k in 2019. I assume his option for 2020 was under ~90k.

https://www.impactmontreal.com/en/post/2020/12/15/impact-acquires-centre-back-kamal-miller-austin-fc

$225k + a possible $50k more is a fair amount of money.

So with this trade, how many years will he be under contract for the Impact?
