ted Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yup. time to start thinking about defending our title next year. Will PMK stay? Will Bustos rehab and return to prove his worth or move on? Will the Hydro Pole finally move and a North stand be built? Will Dean and Rob forget about us as they build a new side in Langley (or elsewhere)? These and so many more questions on the upcoming season of WE...ARE...TOP OF THE LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

Aird25 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 If PMK moves on (which I'm not quite ready for), I hope Merriman get's given the opportunity. He's been integral to this club since the very start. I'll add a couple more quetions... Do any local players like Adam Straith or Callum Montgomery return to the island? Do any players get sold or moved up to a higher level? Will the sausage and onion to bun ratio improve at the concession? ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't seem to be true, HFX signed a number of players to 2 year contracts (plus one or two years of club options) last year and York United have signed their young players to multi-year contracts and this from Cavalry's signing of Joe Mason last year, " Cavalry FC signs forward Joe Mason (ENG) to the roster on a multi-year deal for the upcoming season of the Canadian Premier League (CPL) on a free transfer from Milton Keynes Dons.' I agree that Blasco probably left on a free. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was a long time ago, but I remember him being a spotty bench player for Whitecaps 2 behind a lot of current Pacific/CPL guys, and he's barely played since. Has he improved a lot since then... enough to win a spot over our current midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very underwhelming 14 appearances for the Caps this year including 4 starts. I can't think of anything he does particularly well - he is 5/10 or less across the board.

Just-another-guy type of Cancon signing. Might do well in CPL after his experience in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Can anyone confirm if we have any players under contract for next season? It's hard to think about roster additions when we don't know who is signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping this would end with him dropping it and it smashing. It's fun to see him celebrating, but that serving dish is a terrible, terrible trophy - errrr, shield. Although I do enjoy the play on words with 'Canadian Shield' it just really looks amateurish. It's not really something one would long for. ted and vancanman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Looks like Marco Bustos will be sold somewhere (hopefully still under contract) Atletico Nublense in Chile are interested. They are qualified to Copa Sudamericana Bustos also have MLS offers according to the report Chad_Impact, toontownman and Pottsy3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Losing Bustos, Blasco, and MacNaughton etc. in one year would be a big blow. How does Forge seem to keep their championship teams largely together ted, NVsoccer and Dominic94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Bustos and MacNaughton agreed but Blasco was very unimpressive to me this past year. Lots of stepovers going nowhere and insisting on taking free kicks that weren’t dangerous or well placed. Every time he took the ball from Manny or Ollie for a free kick I winced. To be honest, PFC played more of the season without Bustos too. Lucas would be the biggest loss, in my opinion, but in season one I wouldn’t have guessed he would become as indispensable. Similarly at the Island Games Samake was tragic but he became quite strong, so who knows? Maybe he fills Lucas’ shoes next year. Happy to see Lucas get the opportunity and the recognition. He’s earned it. NVsoccer, toontownman, Unnamed Trialist and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
