aredding77 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Also I don't believe he is in the photo you are referencing, however Felix N'Sa (younger brother of Chrisnovic N'Sa) is currently training with Pacific FC as well. He's a 2003 born CB. Aird25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If he's anything like Chris, sign him up! I have to say N'sa probably was the most surprisingly good player for me at the Island Games. deschamp86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 The "open" (for selected Collective members) training session tomorrow should be interesting to see who is there. Jason from LSBTV is going so hopefully we get some kind of report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I really liked what I saw from Verhoven but he constantly seemed to be getting stick from commentators about him not listening to instructions from Kah. Interesting to see where he pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 If this can launch him from UBC to a pro career elsewhere, this league is getting something done. One of my favourite players fwiw. nolando, narduch and ted 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite players fwiw. Right?!? Every time he was on the pitch I expected big things. He didn't really show the same spark this year but that seemed like an issue with his playing time (not enough) than his talent and effort.

Aird25 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Considering they were competing for the same position, does this suggest that Bustos is staying? ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We've never had anyone all that attacking in the middle of the park. Hopefully Aparicio can be that creative player yothat2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Aparicio has some similitudes with Fisk, although he plays in the middle of the park. He's dynamic and gets into the mix. He can boss the centre of the park at times, without being a pure central mid. Very strong free kicks, good long shots. Also, he's versatile, in Spain at Izarra (Piette's club as well) he was an outside back. I'm surprised on the York9 thread they are saying he did not matter so much to them, or dragging up innuendo. As if York9 could really afford to lose one of their top 3-4 players after this past season. I think we are going to enjoy him and he really strengthens the team. ted and nolando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 He will work well with the experience of Dixon who was a fantastic pick up last year. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Excellent! Those are all key players, and I'm thrilled to have them all back. I hate this narrative that re-signing core players is "bolstering" the roster though. Every announcement in CPL seems to be like this. These are all players that should have been locked up on multi-year deals, yet because of the contract structures they could have easily left so we announce them as if they were new signings. nolando, ted and shamrock 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize there was ever a rule preventing multi year contracts. That seems silly if they’re hoping to sell players on as advertised. The league meddles far too much in individual club rosters for my liking yothat2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue was skittish owners hedging their bets in case the league or their team didn't get off the ground and stick them with wage bills if things went south.
