toontownman Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 As predicted Eddies look rapid, even if the opposition looks poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 They look like they need a bit of work on their finishing. But otherwise they look like quite the fun team to watch. toontownman and mpg_29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Also, it looks as though the Eddies have brought 3-4 academy playera to the Dominican. Winger Abraham Dukuly, defender Luke Withers, and I believe the last is defender Mckail Braithwaite. It is hard to identify the last player though.

garmc Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Braithwaite? Now we need somebody in Calgary with the last name Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yothat Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Surprised that Winger Abraham Dukuly who a first team contract in 2017 under Colin Miller. Even got a couple appearances. He's now playing with the u-20 academy Fced. Does anyone know anything further? Or why he didn't look move abroad or look to join a different cpl club? Has he regressed in that gap year?

Has he regressed in that gap year? I believe Dukuly is only 18 or 19 right now. He was signed quite young previously. This last year he played at NAIT along side David Doe. Nait won the ACAC and finished 4th at nationals. Still an extremely talented player, but with only so many attacking positions open I think he just lost out to a couple of younger talents in Tsegaye and Amanda. I know Paulus really values speed, strength, and Technicality in his wingers. Amanda and Tsegaye really fit that system. I personally see Dukuly more as an AM even though he hasn’t played there often. He is very technical and a very good dribbler, but smaller and not as athletic. Probably the most “tricky” in a one on one situation, but could really struggle to beat out a strong pro fullback. Needs to work on his passing, and his work ethic and determination aren’t as high as Doe, Tsegaye, and Amanda. I would compare Dukuly more to Tabla as a player, very similar mentally and in style. On the other hand, Amanda is more like Millar, and Tsegaye is similar to Akindele. I think Dukuly is a little unlucky to miss out, but I don’t think his chance is gone. I think we will see more of him in the next couple years at least. I am not sure what the league’s position is on bringing academy players up for a couple games, but if it allowed I am sure we will see Dukuly on the bench this year. i’m not an insider by any means, but judging by what Paulus has said about the other players, it seems they surprised his in the last year and kinda pushed Dukuly a bit down in the pecking order. He will be back soon I’m sure. Edited April 13, 2019 by BenFisk'sBiggestFan yothat and yothat2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW519 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 “We’ve got a very big player coming in,” Paulus teased. “It’s a done deal. It’s a massive signing for the club. He’s a top player.” The unnamed central defender will arrive in Edmonton on Wednesday, according to Paulus. “He just adds this massive, physical presence. He would have been the biggest player on the field today.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Doesn't sound like anyone Canadian we don't have anyone that "would have been the biggest player on the pitch" but if we did they aren't a marquee player Paulus is hinting at "It’s a massive signing for the club. He’s a top player.” They have one international roster spot left right? I expect thats where it is going, will have to wait until Wednesday to see who.

Also he only just signed for Hartlepool and at least to season end. Paulus is saying the player will be there Weds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Tone Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It's Amer Didic! Wow. They are bringing him home from San Antonio FC. I was surprised to see he only started 2 of their 6 game this season. Anyways, this is great news for Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 He only signed with St Antonio in December, so it looks like both parties were happy to part ways after he fell out of favour there in team selection terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think San Antonio was happy to let him go. They need solid back-ups as wells starters. But if a player is unhappy and wants to buy-out, the club will listen.
