Looks solid with most of his career as a regular starter in Costa Rica's Tier 1 and a stint a few years back in Mexico's Tier 2.  As a senior international signing it would seem to indicate that Galan will not be returning.

I wouldn’t say it means galan won’t be back. They still have almost half the roster to fill out

"Fordyce is also the seventh and final international player in the current squad."

Looks like that confirms Galan isn't coming back

I thought Fordyce had his Canadian Residency?  If not that rules out Galan and the supposed minimum of 4 U23 internationals on the roster.

Brett is, we will take him back from his loan to Valour 😛 

Drew Beckie from Ottawa while we are at it!

Northern Tribune reporting that Jose Galan will definitely be back with Valour after completing his season with CP Villarrobledo with a goal.

This gives Valour 4 "senior" internationals. (Galan, Jean-Baptiste, Bouka-Moutou and Monge)

Glad to see him back, seems to enjoy Winnipeg and ready to make Canada a permanent home.

I don't think anything has been confirmed yet (but I could be wrong). He lives in Winnipeg and is back now so hopefully he'll be back with Valour this season.

Bit sobering that only 20k was generated in 2020 by the Valour on merchandise.

I did my share, made a few purchases on-line the past year and half.

[Cheeta]

So where did the other $750K in revenue come from I wonder?

Sponsor and season ticket revenue had to have taken a kicking. Maybe not?  Don't know.

Exactly. Who the hell is spending 20k on Valour merchandise? Scary.

Was a lot of the season ticket money not retained in exchange for games this season rather than refunded?

I believe any Government Grants they received (CERS, CEWS etc..) must be claimed as income.

Come on, I am a hard guy to buy for at x-mas.    By the way if you would like some valour beer cozies, toothpasts or mens adult diapers I can probably hook you up.

Has the Gale calendar gone to print yet? Gale in his swimming shorts diving into a new surface for every different month of the year. Big seller.
