DigzTFC Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I agree with KW519. There will be plenty of Canadians on the team. Adonijah Reid would be a nice get for HFX. BradMack and Keegan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that his contract is up he’s no longer GA and thus must count against the cap and/or may be an international now. I’m also surprised he’s not being signed by Dallas. When you think he was our best u20 attacker and he’s the same age as Buchanan who is going top 3 today. It really is all about catching the wave at the right time - if you’re out of sight you’re out of mind. Would love to see him in CPL. Hopefully on Halifax or FCE who look like they can use the help.

In Harts interview before the New Year he CLEARY said 4 international players will be announced, and they all have to get used to Canadian weather.... One of them might actually count as a domestic player, if Duane Rollins is to be believed: That should be enough for PR status on moving to Canada. deschamp86 and RS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the rules on domestics get released BBTB? It doesn’t necessarily matter if you are a PR in terms of the league and his roster status... good for him though for after football.

Pretty sure Duane is talking about David Furnish, a Canadian, who is married to Elton John the singer. RS and deschamp86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 OK, missed that angle. Have no idea who the singer is and has been married to, beyond it being something that Robbie Fowler is alleged to have brought up with Graham Le Saux at one point. As for Keegan's comment, there was a reason why I wrote "might". ddoouugg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradMack Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Jokes aside, I really like the look of Elton John in that highlight tape, I think he's pretty clearly our starting DM, and it might be safe to assume we will have the most experienced keeper in the league. Garcia and Rampersad are essentiallly unknowns to us so hopefully one of them is a pleasent surprise. Side note, does anyone know if U-sports players will count against the international player cap? If so we might have 6 of our rumoured 7 internationals allowed already... Assuming the U-sports guys sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Almost 100% sure that I remember that as well. The initial press release about the draft would be the place to look. BradMack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison made earlier in this thread to Bradley has some merit. I'm very excited about him and Williams. I think that is some real experience and leadership right down our centre, which Hart promised. It's certainly too early to tell, but I think signing such an experience defensive midfielder gives us some hints as to how Hart envisions the team lining up. Maybe a diamond 4-4-2, or a 4-3-3 with John in the centre of the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 1976 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Maybe he is being used as a CB ? As per no 3 and shown as a defender on HFX tweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press release describes him primarily as a midfielder, and only afterward mentions that he is "equally at home playing at centre-back." So I'd assume Hart plans on using him mainly as a holding mid. https://hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca/article/wanderers-announce-first-ever-international-player-signings-as-trinidad-and-tobago-quartet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
