BearcatSA Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 On 8/2/2018 at 9:47 AM, BearcatSA said: Not sure how long his contract was for there, but his signing had much higher publicity than his departure, if you look at the club's media reports. He and his young family live in England, though, right? So that's maybe where he wants to continue living and working. At this stage of his career and coming off a very serious injury, you have to start looking at the other irons you have in the forge. Before submitting my original post I decided to replace the word "fire," and look what I started. Northvansteve and Ivan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Cool that he got a gig, kind of too bad that if he wins a starting job he'll probably be taking the place of another Canadian. David C., johnyb and Addona 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 In terms of experience, Ottawa will be quite the tough team in CPL with their core. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HochelagaFC Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) I would be interested to know how many of these players have signed with the Fury for only this season? My theory is that they are signing them so all these Canadians would be free agent at the end of this year so they could sign on a free transfer/allocation draft(?) with other teams in the CPL. In that way you ensure yourself that these players are available once the teams are ready to make roster decisions. That would need to be on the basis that Ottawa Fury would play in the CPL of course and they would probably be able to keep those that they had signed to longer contracts.

The release states him being able to play right back and defensive midfield as well. If so, there might be a chance that Portilla is the one who might lose minutes (him having taken minutes from Manella over the course of the season). Fury also have a pretty jam packed August, so there is likely to be some roster rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It’s a good move for both Ottawa and Edgar. If is back to health and gets in form that’s great news. Edgar when healthy is the best Canadian CB in my opinion and I’m really happy to see him making a comeback. Ottawa continues to build an impressive stable of Canadian players to their “project”. De Guzman has really committed to Canadian content like no soccer executive before in Canada. maccaliam, Red and White, dyslexic nam and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope DeGuz and ottawa are rewarded in the USL this season, make the playoffs and have a nice run to end the year. deschamp86, sose, Sébastien and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of this season, the Fury have been using Attakora and Meilleur-Giguère as their 2 CBs. They've both been playing very well. But Meilleur-Giguère is on loan from the Impact and may not be available to Ottawa next year. It is expected that Ottawa will make the jump to the CanPL, and with Attakora and Edgar the Fury would have possibly the best pair of CBs in the new league.

Unlikely they would be able to keep both but I think another positive is we get to see Canadian center backs in direct competition for a few months.

RickC Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I was hoping he'd sign for Hamilton, being so close to Kitchener where Edgar is from. This does show the advantage that some clubs have (Ottawa, Calgary) over others, being able to actually sign players now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
