The cream of the crop after 5 years of play was picked up. While I do think L1O is a strong league there is no way all that talent was replenished in one year. This year will be a better indication of how many L1O players can make the jump on a yearly basis. I would even go as far as saying next year might be more typical. I am sure there are probably a few players that went to L1O this year after seeing how it worked as a pipeline for CPL.

Sébastien Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Well, with today's sad news in Ottawa, a large number of Canadian players have suddenly become free agents. Off the top of my head: GK Callum Irving David Monsalve Defenders Nana Attakora Carl Haworth (flexible position-wise) Maxim Tissot (probably flexible position-wise) Mids Chris Manella Jérémy Gagnon-Laparé Antoine Coupland (15 or 16 years old) Jamar Dixon Most of these guys would be an automatic upgrade at their respective positions for many CPL teams. Wonder how many will end up signing on. Stouffvillain and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Makes you wonder if there were some rumblings about this prior with so many CPL clubs releasing players. Will be very interesting to see how many join the CPL. They would all be great additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I hope they all find homes in CPL. That would be a huge infusion of extra talent. If I was a CPL team owner, I would be scrambling hard to suss some of them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Honestly, Carl Haworth would be Best XI caliber in the CPL. A bunch of these guys are about to be able to pick and choose from several CPL teams, should they so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hardly got any playing time. I too hope he lands somewhere but it would be better in a lower league where he can be on the first team and get big minutes.

Some of those guys are good enough that top tier USL clubs might come knocking, and with MLS ever expanding you never know who might try for that.

Bison44 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Any word on Fury movement?? Seems strange, if they really are not playing anywhere that no one has jumped ship yet. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Guess maybe its still too early and it seems players were as shocked as everyone else with what happened. I expect most players are still on holiday post season and will figure things out over the next month or so. There are surely some players that will be looking at Europe or other teams utilizing the January window so we should be hearing something soon.

Yeah, as much as we might wish it wasn’t the case, CPL will be a fallback option for some of these guys who are hoping to use their Fury time as a springboard. toontownman and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I haven`t seen any North American team announcing a new signing, so, it`s not suprising that we haven`t heard anything. Bison44 and HochelagaFC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably on a decent salary at Indy Eleven - the owner there works really hard to make soccer work in a mid sized market. (Full disclosure: I continue to follow the team having loved my time living and working in Indianapolis.) Shortdutchcanuck and Sébastien 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
