I haven't heard names, but there's apparently 27 guys at training camp, and only 21 have been announced. There's some rumours of an unnamed winger from Montreal, but not much about any CBs...
I would definitely suspect a top end CB on loan or on a contract is on the top of Tommy's list.

Of the 6 mystery players, 2 are their USports picks; Owen Antoniuk and Harvey Hughes.
Another is a winger on trial that Tommy spoke about at the supporters night, who was compared to Tobi. That winger is not from Montreal, he was developed in Calgary.
The other 3, I have no idea. But Tommy did say at the supporters night that they were planning on replacing Klomp.

Initial squad for CONCACAF is out. Cavalry can add players until Feb 4.
Lowell Wright's contract has been terminated by mutual consent. He just had a baby a couple weeks ago so I wonder if that played a part.
The mystery winger is not on this list.

My face is a bum!

We're a Callum Montgomery injury away from disaster. It seems inevitable something is done there.

My bad, I read the wrong group chat gossip!
Developed in Calgary is interesting, and now I suspect a player you have mentioned a few times in the past.

0%. He's signed with Rhode Island for 2025.
I would love if we could pry Scott Kennedy out of Belgium but I am guessing he isn't within our salary cap.

I wish Lowell Wright all the best and that the baby is healthy and happy, but I don't mind him not coming back. Need another striker but we should be able to upgrade in the backup striker department

We need a CB, and Sergio Ramos is free. I hope Tommy is pursuing him!

One of the guys I go to games with absolutely hated him, which only made me want to see him succeed even more! I was hoping to get his autograph for my buddy as a "gift".

I was really optimistic when they signed Lowell Wright midseason. He ate some U21 minutes and his profile as a striker is really appealing. He’s got that big body and relatively soft feet. But I feel like his fitness never really improved and he just wasn’t mobile enough. I thought at the end, his only role was to come on when you were leading games near the end so we could lump balls up to him and he could try to hold them up.But he wasn’t super effective at that either. Will be interesting to see where he ends up. I can see why he got a lot of attention early in his career because there was huge upside there and probably still is.

Powerplay Quarterback

He's too fat. No excuse for that at the professional level. He could barely move out there, and was one of the most embarrassing things about the CPL this past season. The guy was already playing the lowest possible form of professional football. His next stop is likely working at an ice cream shop.

We have been lucky to have more hits than misses in the jersey department.
Ol' orange sash will always have a sentimental place, but visually, this one is a home run.

Last night at the supporters meetup Tommy mentioned that they are bringing an attacking player to preseason that he compared to Warschewski in terms of profile. When I chatted with him he said "we're in the dating phase". I'm not going to spoil who they are but if they do end up signing it will be a name familiar to those in Calgary soccer. And IMO would be a great add. They are on the hunt for a CB replacement for Klomp as well.
|
Okay, this signing is official (I ####ed up and edited the original post instead of quoting). It's Caniggia Elva.
