Montreal Impact Thread LIII - Shipp'ing up to Montreal! - 6/03|530PM: @VAN

[Guilliam]

guys, we are linked De Rossi. Yup

Source?

I've read LA Galaxy is after him.

Yeah, I could only find that LAG and NYCFC have shown interest. Apparently he received a 7M$ offer from one of these teams, probably LAG.

Lol, the end of the conference when the journalists ask him to be able to talk to him more often is priceless! Awkward, yet hilarious

Haha yes, it look so needy, with the ******** question from Filosa to badly frame him this conference was entertaining hilarious and unreal at the same time. Approaching everything from the hockey standpoint like some in this conference is just short minded.

The season is a marathon not a race, his knees swell with just 20 to 30 mins on hard surfaces, I don't see the logic of forcing him to train and play on this type of surface for a whole month and destroying his knees. Unless its the playoff it doesn't worth it to lose him or having him diminish. The clash of culture an habits in American sports and European soccer doesn't help.

I believe he is here as a professional who know how to manage is own body in a way to be the more valuable he can for is team while looking at the big picture. He may not be perfect, but I don't think he is as bad as some media insinuate it.

 

[Dominator13]

So who between Keane, Dos Santos, Gerrard, Villa, Lampard or Pirlo would be leaving to make room for De Rossi? They all have contracts past this season.

 

[Dominator13]

no source for now, it's just an Italian journalist, I saw IMFC and De Rossi in the same sentence with some italian words so I assume a connection

How are LA Galaxy gonna sign him ? They can't have all the players, they have 3 Designated player and 1 future DP already in the squad. And if I were LA I would stay awaay from aging Euro players... cough cough 4-0

You saw an Italian journalist? Where was that?

 

[JunglePete]

You saw an Italian journalist? Where was that?

No I meant I saw the Italian guy wrote some stuff in Italian with the words 'IMFC' and 'De Rossi' so I just assumed he was linked. here

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I just listened to the interview and... Didier rekt Filosa

 

[Michelangelo]

No I meant I saw the Italian guy wrote some stuff in Italian with the words 'IMFC' and 'De Rossi' so I just assumed he was linked. here

Could also mean Inter Milan Football Club, since the journalist, you know, is from Milan

 

[JunglePete]

I doubt we will sign de Rossi anyway

Made my first fantasy team of the year :
Bush
Kah-Ciman-Oyongo
Klejstan-Shipp-Maidana-Kaka-Bunbury
Dempsey-Giovinco (c)

[MontrealYul]

Ouch Filosa..but what a stupid question haha.

 

[Jabba11]

Any league for HFB this year?

 

[JunglePete]

sooap opera

Looks like you still don't know Garber. He'll come with a new LAG special don't worry lol.

Just saw the pc. Holy hell @ Filosa he got destroyed
Journalists here are not used to this lol. I feel bad for Filosa but I loved it.

who you got ?

My lineup looks worse

Ousted
Kah - Opare - Farrell
Tchani - Sam - Finlay - Diaz
Larin (c) - Giovinco - Mullins

I know NYCFC fans are really high on Mullins. On that preseason game vs IMFC, one guy called Mullin's goal even before he was subbed in. I have Oyongo, Shipp and Porter on the bench haha

 

[JunglePete]

No one can tell who got the best lineup, it's sorta like a lottery for now.

We all pick Kah because he is cheap, I picked Dempsey and Giovinco well because it's almost sure that they score or deliver an assist even Kaka. I picked Bunbury because he had a hell of a good pre-season and if he keeps going might be his year, much like Mullins. Maidana is in a better team

It's tad risky to select Opare tho I hope he makes at least 20 games this season injury-free. IIRC Farrell moves back to RB and wingbacks get a lot of points.

 

[QuebecPride]

Filosa vs Drogba is great for the exposure

Waiting for Round 3, hopefully Jérémy doesn't get Knocked out

 

[Michelangelo]

sooap opera

He's right tho.

Didier is a princess.

But a princess that knows how to play soccer.

 

[TRG]

He's still talking about it, even if Drogba apparently asked him to turn the page.

Filosa is also a princess.

 

[void]

Apparently the security guard at the Olympic Stadium asked Drogba for his ID before letting him in today. No wonder he was pissed.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Filosa is also a princess.

Filosa is using that for self-promotion. He is a ****ing tool.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Filosa got Michael Cole'd by Drogba (The Rock).

 

[deandebean]

Filosa should drop it. It makes him look bad. He sounds like a sour Larry Brooks with Jacques Lemaire.

 

[TRG]

Larry Brooks, now that's a ****ing tool

I'll try to find time at work tomorrow to make my team and I'll create a league if no one has done it by then.

no way
