Priority on the re-signing side should be Gutierrez and de Brienne. Then sign Gutierrez's twin brother and let Haynes rot on the bench. Oh, right and completely replace the offence. I think they can bring Guti back, he legit seems to like it here. I think de Brienne is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 one of the best strikers in the league in the first half of the season...after diaz arrived he only started 6 of 14 and played a lot as a winger and didnt get a single goal or assist...complete turn from first half of season to second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro2 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 If he’s our #1 option at striker, it’s not good enough to compete. if he starts sometimes and comes off the bench sometimes then the signing is ok. I wonder how much Valour have to overpay to attract domestic players. Cheeta and jonovision 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 WE havnt had anyone who can score....period. If we can nab a CDN kid who can score 6 CPL goals next year, I would be pleased with that, even if its his second time around. He was able to score in USL-1 and Next Pro...why not in WPG?? . johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much Valour have to overpay to attract domestic players. I would think that Valour hopes Hundal will be their #1 option up front. His scoring record at Inter Miami II and the first half of his season at Vancouver shows it is a possibility. Obviously Hundal alone is not the entire solution to all of Valour's offensive issues. They will likely use the USports draft to pick the most promising striker(s) available and with luck that could work out with a good off the bench forward, then we will wait to see who else they sign. I would call this a good start. 1 hour ago, jonovision said: ... Tyler Attardo scored 6 goals as a 17 year old (ducks) He deserves an invite to training camp.

Soccerpro2 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Happy to have him starting over Jordan Haynes.

K Edgar Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Eikon's Sukunda 2023 Highlight Tape (Yes, another Eikon player, Valour's favourite player agency -- de Brienne, Baquero, Ohin, Selemani, Akio, Dyer). Looks like he could have had a couple more assist - so he is used to Valour FC like finishing. Crowds in the Finnish 2nd division look rather sparse.

Big_M Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 one of the most versatile players youll ever see...plenty of experience all over the midfield as well as lb rb and wings...which is really helpful in a 23-25 player squad...where fans might get frustrated might be the offensive output...first two new signings for valour hundal and sukunda look solid K Edgar and Cheeta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announced around the same time as Bekker for Forge. He didn't really stand out or impress in 2019 and didn't make it back from 2020. Never really found a starting spot in the squad. I really wanted him to succeed because of his prominence in our history. I hope he does better at Valour. K Edgar and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Cant be any worse than the guys we have been bringing in. I know Cheese doesnt like him, but he scored as a 17 year old. If WPG is a SH#tHOLE which means we cant recruit anyone to come, our management if all F$cked up blah blah, all these excuses......well why not throw the roster spot an minimum $$ at Attardo? Still only 22, did pretty well with York U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least half the guys on the team are likely under 25 My other thought like most corporate situations the housing is arranged on short term periods or duration of the season.

Pottsy3 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Worth noting that in his time with HFX, they brought through Doner and Abzi who were two of the league's best fullbacks. Those definitely seem to be his best positions, and he took a backseat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
