According to Transfermarkt, he has a current value of $1.32M. Wolves paid a $4.29M transfer fee for him in 2016.

With fullback depth a issue I'll bet we see a lot of 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 like we saw last year. We also did a 4-3-3. Honestly with this group there are multiple viable comps.

Hearing there's an announcement on the 2021 season incoming shortly.

shermanator · 05-14-2021, 11:12 AM

Looks like we have our update. 28 game season, starting with a bubble from mid June to early July. No concrete start date, location of the bubble TBD.

Slava · 05-14-2021, 11:51 AM

I was hoping for fans in stadium with reduced capacity. I know that's not on the club, and it's provincial decision, but I was hoping that someone would come to their senses. I still think that they could put on these events with restrictions and they would be safe.

Hockey-and_stuff · 05-14-2021, 03:40 PM

Will I ever get to use my 2020 season tickets?

Might do the Collective this year if they have good perks. I assume they'll do it again.

Hopefully they're doing this to keep maximum flexibility in an unpredictable situation.

If the early summer looks good, and it can be done safely, minimize the "bubble" period.

If the Swahili variant takes over and is kicking our ass, they have a backup plan.

Was looking at the government's reopening plan, specifically with an eye on when games with spectators might be a go. If all goes according to plan, it sounds like games with spectators at Spruce Meadows might happen in early July, with no restrictions. That would be fantastic.

cheevers · 05-26-2021, 03:31 PM

I am wondering if this changes the leagues plan as to the bubble. Could have two locations instead of one in stadiums already used in the league. Well one stadium and one amateur hell hole.

Muta · 05-26-2021, 03:34 PM

Or, just play in their home arenas with no fans for now... I mean the NHL does it inside, so I don't know why the CPL couldn't just run the regular schedule and then let fans in to the games as those facilities are opened up? Unless the CPL thinks a bubble is cheaper for now.

The Big Chill · 05-26-2021, 04:53 PM

I’m so ready for this. Hopefully some opposing keepers have man buns again.

shermanator · 05-27-2021, 09:07 AM

The rumours I've heard are that the single location bubble is still on. The real delay now is the provincial restrictions in Ontario, those clubs still can't train yet. Basically Bob Young is holding everything up because of course he is.

Can't imagine Spruce Meadows hosting a bubble though, the pitch was terrible with just one club playing.

Just rotate games between the normal field and the one with the giant tree in the middle.

Forge get that tree every game, unless we play them?

Honestly one of my best sporting memories was the Cup tie with Whitecaps in the first leg. The stadium was absolutely buzzing and so were the players.

The constant and merciless heckling and harassing of Ali Adnan was simply sublime. I think I even threw out a heckle along the lines of "do you prefer our cow pasture to the Stadiums of Serie A?" when he was about to do a throw in.

Can't wait to get back to that.

ditty · 05-27-2021, 07:33 PM

My Onesoccer subscription has expired. My guess is there won't be a complimentary subscription with season tickets this year, since most season tickets holders are just rolling over last year's tickets into this year.

Are most of you planning to renew Onesoccer? Monthly? Annual?

Bill Bumface · 05-27-2021, 08:03 PM

I subscribed for the year to watch Canada World Cup Qualification as well as CONCACAF Champions League. I figure supporting OneSoccer is implicitly supporting the CanPL.

I was in the main stands for that game, and I've got vids on my Insta of the crowd chanting for Cavalry as the team walks out. It was THUNDEROUS. Also have vids of the fans when the Impact played there too. Whenever I want to get myself hyped for the Cavs, I watch those videos. Chills down my spine how amazing the atmosphere was those nights. Hell, some new players have alluded to how loud and super intimidating ATCO Field is.
