Complete Homer Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Can't seem to find a thread for him Looks like he's getting fairly close to recovering if he's actively training with the U23s https://twitter.com/davidedgar141/status/953678338572288000?ref_src=twcamp^share|twsrc^m5|twgr^email|twcon^7046|twterm^0 Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Its been a year and a month since the injury happened. He should be ready for a comeback by now. Only MLS team that makes sense for Edgar is the Impact. I hope they take a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wait, Vancouver didn't re-sign him? Hell in that case he should sign with TFC. We play with 3 at the back and Zavaleta seems to be the only backup... Shway and sose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Will be at pre-season with the whitecaps I think. I expect if he looks recovered and can still cut it he will be kept on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farrelld Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Any news on his contract situation with Vancouver? Diallo just got hurt for the Impact today and that leaves them with 1 CB with MLS minutes. Edgar would probably be a 2-3 CB with MTL so a similar situation to what he is in with Vancouver.

BearcatSA Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Had they brought in a really cheap young guy as a prospect they could develop either with the club or in Fresno stints, I'd feel more optimistic with his chances of sticking. But with Aja now brought in, I think his chances of sticking seem slimmer, unless he's willing to agree to a really low wage compared to his previous deal.

BearcatSA Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I see he was called up for this NZ friendly but he's still not signed and there was no acknowledgement/recognition of his call up on the club's Twitter feed. It's been 10 days since Martignago's "scoop" about the pending signing. So, what's going to happen with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, he would only be the club's 5th centre D after Waston, Maund, Jose Aja and Henry. Looks like they acquired Aja instead of signing Edgar.

Looks like they acquired Aja instead of signing Edgar. They had Aja already acquired before the tweet of the pending signing. If you have a 5th CB on your MLS senior roster, more often than not that player is a younger (and, more significantly, inexpensive) developmental project. So I don't see it happening now. Makes you wonder where he's going to land next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortdutchcanuck Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hopefully he starts or at least gets a lot of PT. Would prefer him to Jakovic in a game that should feature a lot of battles in the air. Very curious to see if he looks full recovered and back to his old self.

Bison44 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 He got at least 1 short run out in preseason with Van, not long enough to tell much. It would be nice if Herdman gave him a chance to put himself in the "shop window". Will there ate least be some sort of video of the game??

Herdman knows he needs to look at all options for CB. But for me, James and Jako are first choice right now. The problem is lack of depth. Also, I would not be shocked to see Jako playing RB over Petrasso at some point, in whick case another CB would be needed. I'm not a fan of playing people out of position like that and we would certainly lose out offensively, but I'm finding Petrasso less convincing as a RB every time I see him play.

I’m sorry, but taking our slowest footed CB and making him play RB does not sounds like a good plan. Jako is decent in the middle, but when he is isolated he is terrible.

Pace is indeed a concern but smart players can buy extra yards with good positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Cornelius impresses in training and gets a good look for this game. HugoDirtySanchez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Don't know how he is post-injury, but pre-injury David Edgar would have fared better than Moor or Zavaletta last night. Kadenge and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
