OT: CF Montréal: L'Ère de Courtoisie

[bcv]

Well.. Renard said he was looking for a potential 15 goals forward. Nilton's guess (or Sofiane's) was Sebastian Ferreira from Houston.

We have 3 senior spots open and 2 supplemental I believe?

We will most likely sign 2 kids, one RB and one Academy players.

Then the 3 senior spots will probably be a striker, a GK and Sosa. Trading for Ferreira will probably send some players away thus freeing some other spots

Thorkelsson will likely leave if we do get Sosa
Glassi probably won't stay much longer with his injury history

Isnt it getting a bit close to the start of the season?

You're forgetting Raheem the dream and Ruan ;⁠-⁠)

you know what, I was, it was so quiet that I forgot we even did trades.

The official transfer window opened 10 days ago for most clubs

Someone rumored like Joaquin Sosa is currently on loan from Bologna. Acquiring him means that they have to cancel the loan and either loan him to us or buying him from Bologna. It may take time.

That said, the first game is on February 24th

If by the end of the month we aren't getting any information on new players coming in, then, yes it's going to be a bit mad

There's just no way we don't add at least a striker before the end of the camp. I don't see them starting the season with that lineup.

It's Montreal. I'd be disappointed if they didn't disappoint me. Where did all the money from the players we sold a year ago go?

Joey's pockets. His business model is horrible.

It's Montreal. I'd be disappointed if they didn't disappoint me. Where did all the money from the players we sold a year ago go?

Opoku (1.75M), Duke/Lassiter (1.3M), Campbell (600-900k), Alvarez (1M)

Edwards and Camacho trade is a wash
We did get 500k with Ruan

I'm not sure if I'm forgetting somebody. Some of the money was supposed to be sent over the years

Renard specifically said he was looking to add a ''Quioto-like production'' type of player up front, pretty much verbatim. I expect them to at least get that before the opener, unless he was just talking out of his ass in front of cameras, which would be really dumb of him.

Apparently Breza is coming back for you guys. I'm not sure how reliable this source is.

Goals?

 

[LPHabsFan]

Goals?

10 goals in 38 appearances (31 starts) for Hurucan (Argentinian League)

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Young, with some upside and a pretty good resale potential, he definitely fits the Renard approach.

 

[ArtPeur]

they bought him for less than a Mil not so long ago, I doubt he costs as much as that team asks. I wonder if he's one of those players that Piatti is scouting

 

[Skip Bayless]

He is of the Offor/Urruti kind, very implicated without the ball. Hopefully has better finishing than the other two, he would need some support.

Him and a guy like Campana upfront would be a great mix.

He should take all penalties

He should take all penalties

I like this better than player who take their sweet time to kick the ball

As long as he's better than Bernardo Corradi

 

[Skip Bayless]

He should take all penalties

That's exactly how I take my penalties because if I try to finesse it I miss the target.

This is pretty impressive, it's not like it's driven by a new star player or anything like that either. Coming after a pretty frustrating season to boot. The fanbase has definitely been growing in the past 5 years.
