It’s an opportunity for him to rebuild his career a bit coming back to CPL, I suppose. 9 goal contributions in 11 matches last season. That's pretty good. When they didn't promote, I imagine they started shopping him, which is why he hasn't played much this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had started quite a few games on the bench and when you consider how small a club and place Sogndal is, it just seemed like an odd transfer in the first place.

Yeah, I don't understand the economics from their perspective at all. I imagine they must have been banking on a payday with promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I have to think it might have gone differently if they had surrounded Gael with players of the quality and style of Cantave and Diaz at the beginning.

Watchmen Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Did he ever cross paths with Ghotbi? This feels like the type of signing a manager makes when he wants someone experienced that he's worked with before. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 That had crossed my mind as well but doesn't look like it: https://www.transfermarkt.com/afshin-ghotbi/profil/trainer/10324 https://www.transfermarkt.com/renan/profil/spieler/52999 This looks on the surface at least almost as bizarre as the signing of Emmanuel Robe and that points to desperation at short notice resulting in a very limited set of options through some agent the league uses. nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 It’s odd to me how differently Vancouver and Pacific’s squads seem to be built. I would have thought Friend would be more involved youllneverwalkalone and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 To me it seems like a guy who approached the club and they said come thru and we'll have a look. He probably impressed once he showed up. He's older but he looks pretty big for a midfielder. Was probably tossing those kids around in training and they thought we could go for some of that. I have observed the Vancouver fc has been a little soft thru the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 ghotbi not caring about data would be funny as he was an analyst early in his career...but could see why he would be unhappy with gage if he had a big hand in bringing the internationals as it didnt work out with robe and sandoval hopefully this vancouver drama gets in order very soon because its not a good look overall...the league basically introduced a new rule midseason for them and now we are hearing of a bust up with gage and one of the members of the coaching staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
