K Edgar Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 https://valourfc.canpl.ca/article/i-want-to-do-what-i-did-last-year-plus-even-more "Dos Santos said Riggi and Baquero should be good to go for Sunday’s home opener at IG Field against Forge FC, while Gutiérrez will need one more week to recover from his hamstring. The status of Jean-Baptiste and the timetable for his possible return from his hamstring injury is still to be determined."

Coincidently the forecast for the new Home opener next weekend looks great! 🤔 Cheeta and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Bloody Hell. Was looking forward to Sunday. Not good. Vs Cup is literally just around the corner, the lads need to get the tests in. Great for the walking wounded I suppose but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Hopefully all affected Valour players and staff are healthy and ready to go Saturday. No excuses, weather-wise, for a poor turn out, unlike the previous 3 apocalyptic weather weekends in Winnipeg. A Saturday 2pm start is just about as good as it gets for pre-, during and post-game day-drinking.

EnigMattic1 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Also, has anyone else heard about the "Central League1" that is scheduled to start next year? By all accounts, it is due to have FC Manitoba involved. Trois Reds, toontownman, Bbeto and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Edgar Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 https://valourfc.canpl.ca/article/were-just-ready-for-anything-that-comes-for-us-and-so-this-saturday-is-going-to-be-massive "FW Willy Akio, MF Alex Riggi, MF Daryl Fordyce, D Johnny Esparza and D Andrew Jean-Baptiste did not practice on Thursday. Akio said afterward he was still hoping to go on Saturday and the same hope is there for Riggi and Fordyce. MF Diego Gutierrez is back training, as is D Andy Baquero." Good hear Gutierrez and Baquero will be back, they have been missed. First mention of Esparza not practicing, not much of a loss, at least from what he has demonstrated to date. Akio, of course, would be a massive loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did they have injured players on the bench in games earlier this season and not sign Tomy and/or Hidalgo to similar short term contracts? Looking forward to see what Yesli brings to the game on Wednesday. Clarification: Valour boss Phillip Dos Santos disclosing that Jonathan Sirois will be unable to play in the Canadian Championship due to a clause in his loan agreement, it is expected that Barker will ride the bench behind Yesli for the occasion. Yesli has yet to make a CPL appearance, but did appear in the cup competition for AS Blainville last year when they faced the Halifax Wanderers.

Bison44 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Well hell.....here i was thinking Sirois would stand on his head, we would get a late penalty conversion and be the latest CPL team to put old VAN to the sword.

Are we getting someone in? Is he going to be back before the end of the season? Hell, sign someone on a developmental contract (or U-Sports). With the developmental contract, it's less wages and they can play in 6 games before you either have to sign them or cut them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
