Chad_Impact Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There's a lot of talk on twitter about Garde's time at Lyon with Clément Grenier. People are wondering if Garde will try to bring him to Montreal. Grenier used to be one of the top talents in France before injuries slowed him down, a move to Montreal with the coach he thrived under could be a good move. Also, this is cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really lit the pitch up in Ottawa either. He flashes his credentials as an accountant more than as a soccer player. I think if he is cut, it may be the end of his playing career.

Funny I thought the arrival of Garde have the opposite effect and a life line for his career considering the French connection. Guess we will have to see.

That's a bit silly to say given that he only made two appearances. He did just fine, especially for a player who had just joined a new team. He'd be a perfectly good signing for Ottawa. And don't forget, he has a French passport so he could easily get a shot somewhere in Europe if he wanted to. So unless he wants to retire for personal reasons, there's really no reason to expect him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Impact Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Well I don't see how both of them being able to speak french would suddenly make him good. He's just not MLS level from what I've seen the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Impact have tons of needs at outside back with the departures of Francis, Camara, Oyongo and the possibility that Duvall does the same. (Duvall has had an offer but hasn't signed it.) https://www.impactmontreal.com/fr/post/2017/11/16/limpact-exerce-loption-des-contrats-de-six-joueurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'll be the first to throw Ashtone Morgan's name out there, not that I think for a second he will end up in Montreal. Also, apparently the Impact are looking for a new #1 keeper in Europe. Guessing Bush is on his way out, and Crepeau won't be trusted with a heavier role next year.

Does Bush have Canadian citizenship? He's lived in Canada for almost seven years now and wasn't capped at youth levels by the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an American, and very proud of being from Ohio, where he wants to live. His GF is still there. He probably wants to play in the Crew or Cincy teams.

I agree with the statement about him not wanting Canadian citizenship. However, he is married and he and his wife and two kids live in Montreal. I think Evan is happy in Montreal but that might change if he gets replaced as a starter. He wouldn't start for the Crew but maybe an expansion LAFC side or like you said Cincy.

farrelld Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Mkungilwa is done with #IMFC. Disappointing considering how good he looked with FC MTL two years ago. Doesn't seem like he ever got his chance with the Fury. Hurts now with the lack of depth at the full back positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he regressed during his time with Ottawa, another sign scrapping FC MTL was bad for player development. CPL needs to start ASAP so that young players like him can keep playing and not have to wait in the wilderness until it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I hope the Impact will still try to resign Camara. He was making way too much money but he is still a good depth, sometimes starter player if his salary is commensurate with that role. I am fine with the other cuts though there are a few guys under contract who I wish were not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
