shamrock Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Let's hope he develops at least good enough to be a starter in MLS, which basically means he can walk into the Mens' Camp. I've been disappointed before but there's alway a couple of surprises throughout the season. BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The fact they traded up and he’s in a place that doesn’t like to break the bank is all great signs. They’ve also done it before with guys like Matt hedges. Bison44 and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Dallas develops players. He'll get his shot. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC_Hali Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Not a bad landing spot. Looks like he'll be 4th choice behind Hedges, Ziegler and their new Brazilian (Bressan). He'll likely get heavy USL minutes with FCD's new reserve team. If he can develop into anything close to Hedges it will be a home run for the national team. toontownman, BCM and HochelagaFC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 They also have Hernandez at cb..Montgomery should be going straight to the second team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikmacdo Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If hes buried 4th or 5th on the depth chart they should loan him to Pacific FC instead of playing in the lower USL league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's loaned to their USL, they can bring him back if there's injuries. And USL is probably a higher league than the CPL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopePouri Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Based on previous drafts, most CB in the top 10 seem to get a lot of game time first season. We can only hope. nolando and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Watched him today play for Dallas against NYRB. He came on for Hedges early in the second half with the score at 1-1. Never put a foot wrong and surprisingly confident on the ball - didn't always play the simple pass but I didn't see him misplace one. The 2nd goal came from his defensive work where he anticipated and intercepted an attack by NY and then played a great long pass on his weak foot into space to start the counter.

lazlo_80 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This guy has a very clear path to becoming a mainstay in the national team set up. Dallas has done well with young defenders in the past and he’s built like an MLS CB. johnyb and Grandbloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Impact Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Any CB starting regularly in MLS is a great addition to our program at this point BCM and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I sometimes skip these threads for a while because a lot of them are guys that I will never see play. Sounds like CM might be a different story. Glad I opened it - will have to keep an eye out for him in any Dallas games. And I would echo others above - a starter at CB in the MLS would absolutely be in the mix for our 18 - if not 11. Hopefully he can keep progressing and get some solid minutes - and then get to a point where he is starting.

Bison44 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Has been playing with USL-1 North Texas but has been up with the big club but hasnt made it into a game yet. On the bench today for Dallas, maybe he gets a shot over the Gold cup window. johnyb and jordan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktf Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 At least he is getting decent minutes, about 450 so far, even if it is USL-1(which I would place below CPL in caliber). After years of so many Unattached FC, I am always happy to see a guy get playing time. Also if he is going up and down it really is a clear developmental plan.

shamrock Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Surely the highest rated upcoming D prospect around. He was picked way before Miller, but I guess the situations differ in Orlando and Dallas. If he doesn't get first-team minutes next season he should be looking for a trade (of course it would be preferable to break through at Dallas though).
