OT: OT: CF Montréal: Potato Edition

[ThaDevilGirl]

Montreal will be the only Canadian team to be playing in the League's Cup

But why

 

[Pure Laine]

But why

MLS Standings, plus not being qualified for CCC. MLS wants teams to be on max 2 competitions:

 

[ArtPeur]

But why

TFC can't because they missed the playoffs
Vancouver opt out because they play in the Canadian Championship and in the CONCACAF

I haven't checked if the League's Cup is actually being played through the season instead of a Month's off

 

[ahmedou]

Wait we spent 5M euros on a single player? Not even via Bologna?

He must be damn good or Junior made some money on bitcoins or shorting NVIDIA lmfao

Ukraine humanitarian aid

How about they stop multiplying the number of tournaments? This is stupid.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Is this going to prevent the season ending while I'm watching re-runs of home alone and the grinch? Because that shit is crazy.

I'm a bit confused

About what?

About what?

The season ending part? Was this about the League's Cup?

I'm wondering if having less teams in the league's cup is going to make the season shorter, because it's way too long.

The playoff format should be re-visited as well, the games are shittier with tired teams. I know Jordi Alba was annoying with his little rant, but I think he has a point.

Playoffs games in December, after an international break, it just sucks. The momentum dies out.

Jordi Alba can tell his teammates to stop winning games so he can stop whining too

It's all a cash grab

This might explain the various moves on defense.

Looks like he's gone this Summer, maybe even in this transfer window.

He's far from a finished product at that age, but I can't say I've been all that impressed with him if I'm being honest. He's decent, but we can do better at that position.

I agree, his athleticism is sub par and not the most agile ball to feet. Still hoping they acquire that Ange Ahoussou guy.

We're still the least valuable franchise, although 500 million is higher than I would have guessed. The league really has been growing .

They're playing hardball.

This is not going to end well.

I'm sure Joey knows a guy or two who could ''pay a visit''

Synchuk looking good. Seems like he loves to run with the ball and beat players 1 on 1. Very left footed, loves to cut inside. Not convinced with his crossing. Since he's been used on the right, probably more of a goalscorer than a playmaker.

"Goals" you say?

The intent is to play him behind the striker along Clark/Duke/Opoku/Vilsaint/Herbers

It's not impossible that this team could play a 4-2-3-1 at some point too but we have so many CBs. Jabang is being tried at DM in training too

He seems like a Piatti type. Inverted winger.

This roster is not too shabby at all, I just don't like the lack of firepower.

It's an opportunity for Vrioni, Clark and Synchuk to seize I guess.
