gator Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 This could be a very good signing and allow AJ to push back into his natural defensive midfield position! Pottsy3 and aredding77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really really hope this is the case. As much credit as he earned last year, I still felt less comfortable with him out of position last season. This is quite the Krutzen replacement. I'm not really sure what happened with James for him to fall out of the NT picture, but he wasn't someone I expected in the CPL so soon.

But his career in Europe has stagnated somewhat and he never really pushed on after signing for Midtjylland. He's pushing 30 now and has links with Sigma... maybe he just wanted to be closer to home, and MLS clubs aren't convinced with his level right now.

On paper, Forge look far above any other team as far as talent and experience, but I do have some concerns about motivation with some of these 30ish+ players. Morgan was good last year, but not spectacular. Bekker's performances were off and on, with a little more off than in previous years. Hamilton did not impress. When they reach this stage of their career and they know this is it, probably hard to stay focused on soccer and not on what comes next. Edgar was very good in his stint, but he knew coaching was in his future. That can't be the case for all these players. Pottsy3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Also just noticed that Choiniere is not listed on the roster page. This might just be a case of having to sign the final contract, but seems odd the deal isn't done after they did a sort of pre-announcement in January.

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Went this morn to a local coop bookshop in Barcelona where a friend is a partner, works a few hours, to say hi. Forgot I was wearing a Forge t-shirt, nice one from first year with a big white hammer and orange spark on dark grey. And he says "You're wearing the shirt of my father-in-laws team." Victor is a writer and graphic designer, and is married to a Canadian; but I hadn't made any connection, thought he was mistaking Forge for TFC. But no. "Let me take a pic and send it to him, he won't believe it". The guy has season tickets, Manchester born, prof at McMaster. My friend says: "I've even gone to games with him when we're back there". I bought shirts from most of the teams the first season, the only one that is comfortable, looks good and has held up is this one.

Maybe a little harsh on Hamilton, but feels like he's been playing a long time and fits into my narrative because he's dropped a level, and probably will not get a chance to move back up.

Cicero Posted Wednesday at 02:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:07 PM (edited) I'm sounding pretty negative in my last couple posts, but the last two seasons, the kits have been sub-par in my opinion. These home jerseys are the worst yet. I wasn't a fan of the orange initially, but it's grown on me. But this home jersey... woof, and the away looks like prison pajamas. First season jerseys were the best in my opinion. Wish they had continued the black and yellow third jersey.

Cicero Posted Wednesday at 02:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:11 PM 2020 away black jerseys were also class. Need more of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year might be the first year where I prefer the away to the home. longlugan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
