Ansem Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 18 minutes ago, Dominic94 said: So he had to stay in Canada because of the pandemic, sucks but maybe moves during the summer. I think he got paid enough to stay in Canada. Also, if you want to make the CanMNT, you need to clock minutes. Angus McNab said many times that York had lots of space under the cap. They offered Zator minutes and a big pay hike. Making the National team is very important to him and Didic proved that you can play if you perform. Don't be surprise to see more players getting good pay going forward but of course, this causes a disparity from top to bottom earner. Only a cap increase can either narrow that gap or just increase it further by signing pricier internationals (most likely) Bikerack, johnyb and Dominic94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed with York because it was the highest dollar figure he was offered, and probably didn’t have a step up contract offered from a Euro club.

RS Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's a short CP write-up (likely from Neil Davidson), but I still didn't expect to see it in the Toronto Star. Kent, johnyb, dyslexic nam and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, missed the context and thought you were just asking where the move was confirmed. Probably not going to find anything solid that says he is just "settling" at a new club because of the pandemic. Not a good look for a new signing. Edit: I would add, it's as much total conjecture with what you suggest as the Pandemic theory. My own conjecture, Zator isn't turning down a contract in Europe or the MLS good money or not. At his age if he wants the step up he needs to take it now. So you might be right on the offers not being there as reported. Either way we are likely going to have to rely on hearsay twitter whispers than any facts. Edited February 1, 2021 by toontownman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive step forward for the Star to want this published. Now the league needs to have its highlights and scores on all channels.

IceCreamMan Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 From when i can tell the Superettan doesn't start until April 10th 2021... Aren't we thinking the CPL will start sometime in the same ballpark. Hopefully not a sign they don't expect to play on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Good for the player to get some game time. We haven't had enough soccer here. Hopefully some of these moves help build the league's credibility around the world. It would be nice to see more players moving on eventually Bikerack, Obinna and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diego Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I forget where I read this (probably somewhere on Twitter) but the idea is that CPL off season is too long for some of these guys, so off season loans to Europe could become common place.

If CPL gives us the ability to get players into Europe who would otherwise be playing in USL2, MLS academies, PLSQ, or League 1 Ontario, that's fine by me. johnyb and Nate3322 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also interesting that it's mostly, if not exclusively, American players. I mean it's an American league, but there are a lot of good young foreigners who never made such a move (think Diego Rossi, Ezequiel Barco, etc.) Edit: I see Brian Rodriguez got a loan to Almeria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Rodríguez Edited February 2, 2021 by Obinna Mikmacdo and CanadaFan123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If he plays well there I don’t think he ever actually plays for York. He will have way more eyes on him and if he kills it he will get the transfer he has been waiting for.
