jpg75 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So he's the direct replacement for Ciman? And Raitala/Edwards replace Oyongo? Ouch. Better hope Taider comes to replace Dzemaili or the playoffs will be a long ways away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly @jpg75.... Couldn't agree more, it's mandatory for them to get Taïder on board given these circumstances or off to another disappointing season...Where are they at with Taïder negotiations????

Better hope Taider comes to replace Dzemaili or the playoffs will be a long ways away. Ciman as much as I enjoyed his passion and slide tackles they often backfired and he liked to complain too much. Also I think it was too much a coincidence all these goals from crosses and set pieces occurred during his tenure. If this Diallo is a physical specimen as he’s touted I hope this resolves that issue. I don’t care about the flashyness and slides just someone solid and consistent.

Blackdude Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Diallo was in the Ligue 2 XI last season. If he can play like that for the Impact, I doubt that there would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Diallo should be confirmed soon. His former club just rescinded his contract that was ending in June so he can join the Impact. https://www.sb29.bzh/18-01-18-zakaria-diallo-quitte-le-stade-brestois.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wow... Montreal is making it extremely difficult for me to cheer for any other team... For me it used to be 1. whitecaps 2. TFC 3. Montreal, but is is starting to reverse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Impact Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 All this young Canadian talent under a coach who produced some of the top players in French football today...I'm excited...for the CanMNT at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Crepeau is still listed on their official roster, which would technically give them 12 Canucks. Even without him, they have more than twice than TFC have, which is 5 at the moment (I don't count Akinola - I'm going by who is eligible to be counted as a Canuck for V-Cup purposes). The Whitecaps have 6 but that doesn't include Bustos (loaned out) and Edgar (listed on the Whitecaps website as being on the roster but "unsigned"). Sadly for me, right now TFC appears to hate Canada the most, although they only have 18 players in total signed to the first team, so hopefully they will hate Canada less by the time the season (which begins early for them) starts. In any event, well done to the Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think tabla would be mental to leave with Garde there tbh. Even if it's just staying another year. Hopefully he sticks there and the other nationals and Remi can corrupt his mind to pull on the right international jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HochelagaFC Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Montreal traded their 2 first round picks (4&7) to Dallas and Minnesota for 200 000$ and 150 000$ of TAM. Wise move, it's looking a lot like Garde will really count on the academy to provide depth for his team instead of Superdraft prospects or MLS journeyman.

Dub Narcotic Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It's been a tradition since Montreal came into MLS for their management to shit on the draft and then end up signing a pu pu platter of terrible Euros for a lot of money. Who was that Romanian CB last year? One of the worst of a really undistinguished list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Adam Braz is talking about Diallo, Taïder and Vargas, so expect news pretty soon about those 3. They are also trying to sign another centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC has I think 1 guy in their core that they drafted (Hagglund). Seattle has 2 (Roldan and Fisher) Garde said himself that he thought that Academy players are more ready to play in MLS than the potential draftees. It does tell you more about the draft quality getting worse with the Academy system throughout MLS. If ther was that much talent, why did DC which had a higher draft position traded their pick for allocation too? Tell me the players drafted in the past 6 years who are contributors (ie 10+ matches last year) on MLS teams right now? There aren't that many players like that.

You can always find gems in the draft. If Impact uses the allocation money for good use than they will be ahead. If not they've wasted a couple of cheap options.
