Moldy9 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 By the way I hope this is not some Patrick Roy for Andrei Kovalenko, Martin Rucinsky and Joscelyn Thibault transaction. Like the Impact shouldn’t settle for scraps and would be best served letting him go free transfer in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he wanted to go home and all that... but he's a professional athlete, most would say the best Impact player ever, you'd expect more. Best case scenario would've been he stayed until May/June, he'd kick some ass in CCL, he'd get a farewell, and give us a chance at closure.

Agree. It was pretty obvious IMFC knew he wasn't gonna be around for the start of the season, and they were just trying to maximise the return. How else do we explain the crazy depth at the wings going into 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 TFC can only hope that their Piatti plays as well as Ignacio. That would make the Reds an Eastern favourite barring any more significant injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This report came out on RDI last week. Watched it all (in French only) but here’s a brief synopsis aired on CBC. There is much more in the book Mafia Inc. I read it several years ago and quite frankly, the evidence was overwhelming. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/213113/mafia-inc-by-andre-cedilot-and-andre-noel/ It is important to separate the current generation of Saputos from the early days. There is zero reason to doubt the legitimacy of the current company and family. It is a public company after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to scare anyone, but the current owner of At Ottawa was condemned for corruption some 16 years ago, and his father was a crook as well. For the Gil family, the early days were the 90s. And At Madrid is not a public company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact is the longest he's ever stayed anywhere. If I remember correctly, I don't t think he had ever stayed over 2 years with another team and it always ended on bad terms, either with coaches, the team or fans. A quick google when IMFC got him showed he was hated by many fan sites for his selfishness. He's a pure mercenary. His earlier career is full of selfish/hogger clips that hurt the teams he played for. That being said, he would never play for Canada, not enough money involved.

His earlier career is full of selfish/hogger clips that hurt the teams he played for. That being said, he would never play for Canada, not enough money involved. I remember when he first showed up and he was frustrating at times. He held the ball way too long, never passed the ball after dribbling so long and never shot when he had a great chance to just keeping it too long. He got a lot better. He’s way different from now and then. As for your other observations, that is quite interesting and it makes some sense why he behaved the way he did. Which leads me to this question: does anyone think in soccer that players fake injuries. I’m not talking about diving and getting stretchered off the field and miraculously running as if healed from the Holy Spirit. No I’m saying you claim an “injury” to a part of your body when it’s not that bad. Basically skipping out on work. I’d like to think their doctors can see that but can they really? I ask cause Piatti was injured most of the year with three different injuries. Maybe he was trying to lower his value so that Montreal wouldn’t take his option as no team would give much for an injured player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’m not feeling the magic after their lackluster pre-season. Scoring still seems to be a problem. I’m also not convinced Thiery Henry is the right man either. I really hope I’m wrong but I’m afraid at least until the summer window it will be a really rough go for the team. I hope I eat my words but I see an early exit in CCL 0:2 and 0:1 (0:3agg). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
