davey_twelve Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 4 vacant spots already. Hopefully there's another island kid out there to sign, specifically a midfielder. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I expect Pacific to make a big splash this offseason. Too many big losses last year without recuperating much. These guys might not perfectly fit the team's need but here are some of the island-based/born players who are available as contracts end/they graduate: Simon Thomas: not really a need in net, but I've always hoped the Victoria-born netminder would make the move home. Callum Montgomery: Sat on the Minnesota bench all season with no minutes. Had some stints in Next Pro, but he has to be mostly frustrated with his lack of playing time since being picked highly in the MLS SuperDraft. Michael Henman - Victoria-based striker who led USPORTS in scoring this season and was named Canada West player of the year. I'm guessing Adam Straith is unofficially retired, but he still seems to be kicking around the island and not with a club. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It's time for Dario Zanatta to come home. His career has stalled in Scotland and he needs a new environment Mihairokov, narduch, masster and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 He's on a two year deal with Hamilton Accies so doubt he's available until midway through 2024 season. What gets said about him on Scottish messageboards is not much better than what Falkirk fans had to say about Marcus Haber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It looks like he's struggled since joining them, but he's still only 25 and he has 200 matches and 70 goal contributions in the top 3 tiers in Scotland. I'd take a chance if he's available. We need goal scoring and I imagine the wages would be reasonable ted, nolando and Pottsy3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 ^ True, but Pacific is pretty set at CB. That isn't a position of need. Priorities number 1 and 2 are a starting number 9 and a strong CM. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I wonder if our scouting shortlist is now Vancouver FC's. With the ties between two clubs its clear where the immediate opportunities are for playing time and likely $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Shame about Mavila, he is solid. Could be needing a completely brand new set of full backs this off season. He could also count as a domestic player next year if another CPL team picks him up, per Northern Tribune: 'Should a new CPL club pick up Mavila, it’s worth noting that he’s on track to secure permanent residency next year, which would see him count as a domestic athlete in the league’s roster rules.' https://northerntribune.ca/pacific-fc-mavila-ricci-leave/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I don't think either are a massive loss on the pitch, but it sounds like Nate was great in the locker room and with fans. He's solid enough that I think we maybe could have kept him as a depth piece. Is there a roster tracker for this offseason? I don't have a clue who's signed for next year, and who's contracts are up.

That's about $66,000 CAD. If a team is spending near the cap this season, I would expect them to have multiple guys upwards of that number. I'd expect Bustos/Didic and maybe even Aparicio to be the highest paid on the team and Ongaro to be right behind that group. If spending to the $1.125million cap, the average salary carries nearly $49,000 CAD. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Shame that might mean he didn't make an impression at the Caps. Or maybe more likely he wants out of dodge already! Great to have him back in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
