Apparently Thierry Henry is in talks to become Bournemouth manager according to some English newspapers.

Sorry I missed your earlier post!

henry is way safer in montreal..doubt he leaves..there would be way more pressure there with promotion relegation..and he hasnt been good with montreal but still made playoffs and that is often enough to keep you in mls..dont see it happening

Agree, if the Cherries don't go straight back up the expensive squad will start being dismantled due to FFP making the task of promotion that much more difficult, fans and owners lose their patience quickly!

as predicted

They fired Tindall for Woodgate? Ouch.

It don't look so bad.

This is a good thing.  Not sure Henry showed anything that proved that Montreal was moving in the right direction, IMO.

[narduch 3,487]

wow

[Big_M 1,955]

hes the first winner in this one..gets out of there with one playoff appearance in one season so will put that as a positive in his resume and go everywhere saying he made playoffs..second winner in this one could be the club if they find someone better which they absolutely can and should..but truth is he was weak overall

[Moldy9 702]

Not that big of a loss in my opinion. I wasn’t too impressed with his coaching tactics. Let’s call it what it was, a marketing ploy. His record could’ve been better had they not played on the road the whole season.

While I would like to think the likes of Bobby and Tommy should be on their radar I doubt it. Considering who they ended up with I would have hoped Bobby was considered at TFC, would have preferred him to Armas.

played a few games in ligue 2 france..worked his way up with montreal since 2011..why does it feel his days might already be numbered...

And Johnathan Sirois goes on loan to CPL side Valour FC along with Sean Rea.   MLS allows clubs to loan out 5 players a season.

So MTL is at its max...

Sirois, Rea, Giraldo, Yao and Ferdinand.

means Assi, Saliba and Zouhir will have to get time with the big boys, unlikely MTL U-23 plays anytime soon.

I wonder if these guys (especially the last 2) are even seen to be ready for CPL, let alone MLS.  I suspect they may be still getting time with the U18s (but not sure they are playing now).

Well Assi did play the CL game and was signed before them, he’s highly rated by the club and I’ve heard only good things about Saliba. I know nothing of Zouhir but I wouldn’t be surprised if an exception is made to allow a loan for the others given the situation. It is a certainty that the U-18’s will not play until early June, Quebec just shutdown even further and has the strictest measures North America wide.

some people say Rea has the highest ceiling of the bunch while others say it’s Assi, I’ve seen the same about Assi. I’d imagine the club would have found loans for those furthest from the team.

But only if they are not so far that they wouldn't play for a CPL side; better to keep them in their system if that is the case.

Maybe they are closer than the others they loaned but they are also younger so that makes me think they are not ready.  We will see.  And possibly Assi is an exception as what I saw of him with the U15s from 2019 is that he is much more physically ready
