We want Atletico to be "very delighted" with their CPL investment so that it attracts $$$ from other HUGE European clubs. Well as we’ve seen they’re looking for the next Jonathan David, and I’d imagine they’ll find him through their partners soon. The reality is when they find a youth player whom they like he’s going to bypass Ottawa almost all together. I would expect they’ll bring X player to Spain right away. If it wasn’t for covid we may have soon a few loans from their other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Those are some good pickups. Obviously some more spots to fill but looking better than last season already (minus Acuna). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial B Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm hoping that things will be more normalized by the time late summer rolls around so we can go see these games at Lansdowne. I really want to be able to purchase season tickets when they become available. MM3/MM2/MM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-g-williams Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I was speaking with Nic Ryan (Atletico ticketing director) yesterday and he said that tickets weren't on sale just yet. You can put your name/info down to be contacted when they're actually available, but you can't make the purchase just yet. Hopefully soon though!

MM3/MM2/MM Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ajay Khabra added to Atletico staff, probably more money than playing. An intelligent young man, I read somewhere that he is working on either his Masters or Phd. Ansem and Trois Reds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrid also happens to be a big European party city these months, as the regional government lets the foreigners come in in droves. They have the worst Covid rates in Spain and a nutty lady running things in the Madrid Community who things she's the reincarnation of that carrot top who chained himself to the White House fence blubbering. So it is totally cavalier, the kids better be careful as something like 40% of Spanish cases are there, and it is like 17% of the population. The training centre is in the south-west. They'll be lucky enough to get to watch a few matches I suppose. I won't get there as we are not supposed to leave our region without cause. narduch and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone thinks signing with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds or if its Valour FC, wherever they see the best fit is.

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I was wrong, they are going to a training centre in Segovia. Away from the crowds, pretty, but it'll be cold up there still. If they let them go to Atlético games it'll be a boost, though they will miss the atmosphere. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-g-williams Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 A few key points for the non-French speakers among us: Expecting to have 16-20 players signed by the end of the training camp (3-4 weeks from now) A lot of effort has gone into scouting and building the right team after losing players like Fisk and Acuna On the subject of a start date for the CPL season: "If we're going to the trouble of getting our players together in Spain, it's because we've had some good news telling us we have good reason to move forward" - Fernando Lopez Trois Reds, johnyb, Unnamed Trialist and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
