Bitar has had two CPL shots, Garcia played 17 games for Valour. I also think having the top pick left them in more of a "best player available" position. Won't be surprised if any of the Carleton guys are signed as depth. A vet like Dario Conte would make a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This signing is really interesting on paper. Clubs obviously see something in him to bring him into top Finnish/Hungarian sides, but he has little playing time to show for it. Could be an Kwame Awuah like signing where the player just needed some minutes to show what he's got, or an Arnold Bouka Motou like signing where we wrongly assume he's still got it because of his previous clubs. The domestic status is obviously the biggest draw of the signing. Defender of the year pedigree in L10 signals good CPL quality, guys like Dom Samuel and Johnny Grant won the same award in the past. 7 goals in 18 matches that season is impressive for a centreback, have to imagine he's an aerial threat.

Oh, I recognize his name from FM a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I ended up capping him for Canada after a bit of a injury crisis and needing someone to come in who was competent enough to fill in at defensive midfield. No idea if he's actually eligible for Canada in real life. But names like his do give me a wee smile, it's the same when Stefan Cebara signed for Valour (In one of the older games, I bought him in initially as a backup winger, and he ended up putting in superhuman performances well above his stats).

Pottsy3 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It seems like they've been building up these signings all day. Ollie and Ingham are difference makers at this level. If the last two are bigger announcements, Ottleti will quickly move up the power rankings. Dominic94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as an Ottawa native - this signing pleases me! Powley made too many mistakes that cost us points. Ingham just doesn't leak a ton of goals. I got the impression last year that a lot of the goals York let in were because of naive defending that left the goalkeeping exposed.
