Shamit Shome Amir Hallic Mallan Roberts Aymar Sigue (NCAA Draft Year) Noah Cunnigham and still need a third goalie .... Q.Roberts? John Smits? Not Roberts at least, he already signed with Tulsa Roughnecks for this season. Does anyone know what Marko Aleksic has been doing this past year? I wouldn't mind seeing him back with FCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I expect Shome to stay in Montreal. He's the 4th midfielder on the Impact right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Latest from FCE: https://canpl.ca/article/four-trialists-one-spot-jeff-paulus-facing-tough-decision-at-fc-edmonton ...And, Paulus said the team has an agreement in place to bring a Canadian defender over from Europe in July, so there’s another spot that’s spoken for. “He’ll be a key player for us,” Paulus hinted. In camp this week are Canadian defender Jackson Farmer, the Edmonton native who has been in the Whitecaps system and Foothills FC. So is Jordan Haynes, another alumnus of both Foothills and the ‘Caps. The two foreigners are: Greek fullback Giannis Charontakis, who was recently with the second team of French side Ajaccio; and French fullback Jerrold Nyemeck, who has played for Saint Etienne’s B side.... Amoebi now has PR, and Marcelin has visa issues. Edited March 12, 2019 by BringBackTheBlizzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zem Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's a Canadian defender in Europe whose contract expires this summer and who would be a key player for Edmonton, so it basically has to be either Straith or Vitoria. Obviously Straith seems more realistic, but he's still only 28 and doing well in Europe, while Vitoria is 32 and stuck in another period of uncertainty with Lechia. So while Vitoria might be a bigger surprise I feel like both are real possibilities, although obviously Straith's previous stint with FCE makes him seem more likely.

youllneverwalkalone Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I wonder why they are trialing foreign players if their foreign spots are maxed. I guess Ameobi will be Canadian soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty surprised if it was Vitoria over Straith. The fact that an agreement is already in place well in advance makes me lean heavily toward the player that they might have already had some existing contact with. Vitoria is from Toronto and has been playing mostly in Europe for the his entire career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I would have thought Farmer and Haynes would sign with Cavalry. The fact that they didn't sign them makes me skeptical about their abilities. As for the defender, Stanese maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toje Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) What about Scott Kennedy who is a CB who is playing for Klagenfurt in the Austrian 2nd tier? He was born and raised in Calgary. I have no idea when his contract expires. He has built a career in Europe starting in the German 6th tier, so I guess it depends how badly a player wants to go back to Canada. - John Dinkota is playing in the French 4th tier. - There are a number of centre backs who are playing in the lower tiers in Germany and Sweden.

I think Kennedy could be a possibility but Paulus said "He'll be a key player for us" so I'm not sure if some of lower level guys fit that description.
