Toje Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Stefan Cebara has been without a club since the end of the 2015-16 season. He played well with Zlate Moravce in the Slovak 1st tier (a lower level league), and has 8 caps for Canada. I am kind of surprised he still hasn't been able to find a club.

Big_M Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Cebara was a sub on a weak team. He did well earning contracts but at 26 he doesn't have a good pro resume as he hasn't played many games. His next stop should be a team where he will play a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent asking for too much? Player unwilling to move to certain leagues? You'd think he'd get a shot at MLS somewhere, as winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Does anybody remember that player run tournament that NHL players did during the lockout (I'm thinking it was the early 2000's one, but maybe the one in the 90's)? Maybe all these unattached FC guys should actually pick a spot and train together. Maybe set up some friendlies with local teams. That would be a bit fun to see. I don't think I'm being serious, but it's a bit hard for me to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Here in the Czech Republic there is a football association which runs a 'club' for unattached professional players. They usually play friendlies throughout the summer and at times in the winter vs 2nd and 3rd division clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt that we could do something like that in Canada until CPL starts preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been surprised why he never got a shot at the Scottish Premiership with Rangers FC. He played in the second, third and 4th divisions but never the top one. Anyhow a few months ago, Wigan Athletic & Blackburn Rovers expressed interest in him, is League One a step upwards or downwards? No idea! In my opinion Aird has always been very underrated as a player. He should get more opportunities but doesn't seem like it now :/ I don't see what's wrong with going back to MLS! When he was with VWFC he made 18 appearances in the 2016 season and showed more than capable of being a solid Right-Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he does sign a first team contract he'll be a benchwarmer for the remainder of the season and then released afterwards. i can see him being sent to their USL Side or on loan to another team in the NASL.

Some surprised there hasn't been a puch for some kind of program where guys can join a L1O side on a month long contract to maintain fitness when they're without a club. It might not be much but it's better than sitting at home for 4-6 months 5 hours ago, Kent said: Does anybody remember that player run tournament that NFL players did during the lockout (I'm thinking it was the early 2000's one, but maybe the one in the 90's)?

I don't think I'm being serious, but it's a bit hard for me to tell. In Toronto over the winter, there's a sort of two team thing where MLS, NASL, USL, Scandinavian based and unattached local guys play. I think it's a 3 game thing between December and January.

It might not be much but it's better than sitting at home for 4-6 months I doubt there is anything preventing this. Cyle Larin played something like 4 games for Sigma in the first year of L1O. Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan played a single game together (for Vaughan maybe? I can't remember for sure) when they had a bit of a break in their schedules. There might be other examples that I can't recall. But yeah, I like your idea. More players should make use of that league (and PLSQ) when they are between teams and need to continue training.
