Pottsy3 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Looks like a signing coming today. Guessing it's someone from Quebec judging by the remarks in French. Maybe PLSQ player of the year Loic Kwemi? Another FB with Northern African Heritage from Blainville? Wandrille Lefevre's return to the pro game? It would make sense for it to be one of the players cut from CF Montreal this year like Bassong / Giraldo. The HFX management has been at the FTF Top 60 Under 25 combine in Toronto this week, so maybe it's someone from there? Roster's can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAbJ1GPeEY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Can you guys tell I'm having a slow work day?

Copes Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That is a very interesting signing. Some really cool experience, but also a notable dip in the quality of opposition he has been playing against over the past few years. Still - I'm intrigued. Could be a great find. Hope he does well! toontownman and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 HFX is the most interesting team to me right now. They've made some moves that are easy to get excited by. The midfield has a lot of flair to it now, between the PSG guy, the addition of Timoteo and another year of Aidan Daniels. Their full strength attack will have a lot of depth to it: with Morelli coming off injury, Salter having a good season, Mwandwe being there from the start and Coimbra as the exciting youth addition. The defense and goalkeeping is really the biggest question mark at this time. Campagna and Fernandez have looked like studs at times, and Omar had a big pedigree heading into last season. Some veteran additions could turn this into a really competitive group. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 If gheisar walks the walk that he talks Halifax could be dark horses for sure. Large turn over and still a few players short makes that more unlikely but if they gel you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I thought I read somewhere Timoteo would likely be used in a way (on the left) that makes him what Fernandez is on the right. So I’m picturing him as a wing back / defender more than a midfielder… but who knows. Edited January 11 by Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too thought I had read something like that about Timoteo. Lurker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Great experience to bring in with still some upside. Very excited about the HFX potential this year. Still need to look at the wings and another defensive addition or too. It's alot to piece together and hope it gels in year one but future looks bright.

But many will do that because they believe that being in Europe they are closer to the bigger European leagues and the eyes of the scouts . narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copes Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Exciting signing. Have been waiting doe the GK news. Team starting to take shape. If we were to try and line up eleven right now the backline is what I'm struggling the most with. We have a lot of attacking pieces. I'm assuming most remaining signings will be defensive.

Fillon Fernandez ------------------ Omar --------------------------------- Campagna ------------------ Timoteo Would it look something like this? Ruby is still there so you could go back three with him on the right allowing Fernandez and Timoteo to play as wing backs.

I do think we are going to see 3 with Fernandez and Timoteo in more advancing wing-back roles based on Gheisar's comments. I'm really thinking we are looking at a 3-4-3 sort of set up based on the players we have acquired. Lurker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timoteo looked really good as a central midfielder in an advanced role with FC Edmonton when I watched last year. Signing a vet like Karl Ouimette who can play in the middle or wide in a back line would make a lot of sense. Copes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
