Manu Aparicio has signed for Sam Piette's club, Izarra. In this Spanish site he appears in his Canada shirt

http://www.lapreferente.com/J210826/sdc-ordenes/manny-aparicio.html

I was a bit floored by this, first, since no one else saw it, it was announced June 16, and I missed it too. Second, he played for a team that was dead last in their group in Spanish 3rd, 4th tier, a division lower than Izarra´s 2B. So it is a huge step up for Manny, who is born 95 and hasn't turned 21 yet.

Great find. I don't understand the Spanish football system, but I have Izarra categorized as 4th division. Is that incorrect?

Andrés Fresenga has signed with  CSD Suchitepéquez in Guatemala. This is David Monsalve's old team.

Nice to see a guy who has bounced around the 4th and 5th division for a long time stick it out and finally get a shot to play at a higher level.

Yes, I'm happy for him. He really belongs in the 3rd division. He was always a little too good for the 4th. I was hoping he'd get promoted with BVB, but going to Paderborn is the 2nd best alternative. Hopefully that club will get their crap together. As you probably know, they were actually relegated, but got their spot back because 1860 Munich was relegated from the 2nd to the 4th due to financial problems.

I just went through all of our unattached and unknown status players. Did a few updates and tried to reach out to some to get updates.

Also, we are looking for someone to track League One Ontario players, as well as PLSQ ones, both for our database and on Twitter.

Dont see anything on him so ill post this maybe someone knows more about him. 

Jordan Perruzza born in Toronto (Italian dad), formerly with the TFC academy, is with the youth team of Empoli FC. Plays as a striker and scored 2 goals against Juve in March for the U16s. Cant find anymore stats or information on him. 

Thanks. He is on our list under "Youth Abroad".

A solution could be to have a tab for players who are not eligible but might become eligible. In the current form and with the criteria of the first post, someone could look at this and think that we have a player who is starting games at cb in mls (opare) and is eligible.

We have a section called "Notes", I went ahead and made a note that he is currently not eligible.

If there is a chance, we track him, no matter how little the chance. As soon as it's not theoretically possible, we will drop the player.

As per this statement, Kofi Opare should not be on the list and not be tracked as he is not eligible.

Kofi Opare holds Canadian citizenship. If FIFA were to grant an association change (He played with US U20s a while back), he would be able to play for #CanMNT. Therefore he is still eligible, at least in theory.

@Fussball_eh Västerås SK is 3rd tier, listed as 2nd tier on the list.

Thanks. It's been fixed.

Do we track 4th division Sweden? If so, Tyrin Hutchings (Calgary Foothills / Mount Royal University) is on trial with FC Gute of the Swedish Division 2 Sodra Svealand.

Of course we do

Okay, I won't go through the list then

The transfer window in Europe has been shut. Will go through the list and see if we have any errors.

Looks like it is Liam Miller to Liverpool's academy. Based on this tweet from a Liverpool Academy correspondent.

 

Yeah, I had to wait for a while, but it's official today. Thanks to those who managed to remain patient ;).

Any news on the LFC Canadian signing yet?!? 

Liverpool won't announce it for a while to protect the kid from the local media hype...( is the explanation I was given). But do some digging (and read this thread) and you can put 2 and 2 together

Saw this tweet a couple of days ago. Can any German speakers find any news to back this up?

2016-05-06, 2:02 PM Randy Edwini-Bonsu got the permission to leave @VfRAalen1921 after this season, despite having a contract till 2017. //@Canucks_Abroad

VfR Aalen is a sinking ship. Everyone is leaving, but they need to make sure to have best appearance as possible to attract sponsors.

Having said that, REB didn't have the best games, from those that I watched.

Maybe you're right, I just saw his bio on twitter and didn't see him on the list.  

Yeah, we took him off. His agent contacted us and said he left the club for greener pastures.

Allando Matheson is with Harbour View in Jamaica.

Where do you get this from? I was under the impression that he left the team a few months ago.

Sounds like Falkirk may be interested in Gasparotto. I think he's shown that he can hang in the Scottish second division after his strong showing with Greenock Morton this year.

 

Yeah, he'll stay in Scotland's second division.

Ok, so who signed at Liverpool?

Been told 7 more days at the latest until announcement.

We have a new welcome page at www.canucks-abroad.ca as well, to give some more transparency, etc... 

Sorry that I've been off the grid for a little while, but the team is keeping the project alive.

Happy tracking!

I guess that.....Canucks Abroad is full of shit?  I can't think of anyone that would fit the bill to be honest. Maybe Ballou Tabla?

 

I can confirm that Canucks Abroad guy is full of shit.

Looks like Ethan Gage has stopped playing, at least for now: http://932kick.com/news.php?news_id=1283139

That really sucks. He should have stayed in Sweden :-(. Kinda reminds me of the David Monsalve situation with Finland and then another country (Colombia). Monsalve now plays in Guatemala, instead of coaching in League One. Maybe Ethan Gage, will get another chance.

Moved him to "All-Time"/Retired. A section that we still need to improve.
