Dub Narcotic Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Ottawa Fury FC announced on Friday the addition of two Canadian trialists to its roster: midfielder Chris Mannella and defender Monti Mohsen. Ottawa Fury FC announced on Friday the addition of two Canadian trialists to its roster: midfielder Chris Mannella and defender Monti Mohsen. Both players will make the trip to Charlotte ahead of Fury FC’s season opener against the Independence on Saturday night. “We are thrilled to add more talented Canadian players to the fold as we get ready for the new season,” said General Manager Julian de Guzman. “Mannella comes with valuable experience and qualities that make him a great asset for the squad, and Monti is a young local player that has shown great promise throughout his trial. We expect great things from both of them this season.” Monti Mohsen was born and raised in Ottawa and developed his talents with Ottawa St. Anthony SC. Having been training with Fury FC since April 2017, Monti made a name for himself at the last Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg as part of Team Ontario. That’s when the defender scored the lone goal in the men’s gold-medal final, the one that would propel his team to the top of the podium. shamrock, Scorpion26 and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 He's a '00 (the first ever to sign for Ottawa) and of Iraqi descent according to a promo video he posted on YouTube. He looked surprisingly solid for Ottawa in pre-season, so hopefully he can earn a few minutes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have eventually played for St. Anthony's, but in this promo vid he is clearly playing for Gloucester. I recognize the fields well, having played there in green and gold for years including against St. Anthony's (a long time ago). Nice to see Ottawa drawing from local talent.

Probable an academy-loanee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zem Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Making his professional debut tonight versus Charlotte. Tissot and Obasi are both unavailable, so he's Ottawa's only natural LB. BenFisk'sBiggestFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Played only 46 minute so I guess it didn't go too well. Can happen, not the end of the world he'll get another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Geesh, this thread is right beside the Hanson Boakai thread. Remember when he was the youngest blah blah blah. Lets not get all excited about the FULL MONTI. Let the kid have a few games before we go all crazy on him.

Now we need to get a live chicken, a newt and well maybe its better if you dont know exactly how we get the evil whammy off this kid. Some things you cant unsee if you know what I mean.
