I don't think Brad Beaumont or Maleik Gray are with W Connection in Trinidad anymore. I can't find them on the website. They were brought up by Toronto Skillz so they could pop up in League1 Ontario.
Thanks. We'll look into it.

I think that the real question was primarily one of trying to come to consensus and explain things properly. It was also a question of appreciating that the Voyageurs effort in Canucks Abroad has been going on since last century and could not be altered without open discussion.
I very much appreciate how you responded to those concerns, excellently and patiently. Since then the tone of the thread has been great, and the expanded content appreciated. The format is also acceptable, very functional, not particularly attractive in presentation, but totally useful. Good work.
I should have explained the process better and I never meant to step on any people's toes. Thanks for your feedback.
Now that its functional, we can worry about appearance. My problem is, I suck at formatting things and have zero feeling for aesthetics. How can we make it more appealing in the next step?

It's been a little over 160 days, since about a dozen hard-working volunteers & myself, have made the change from just a simple text list on the first page of the thread, to an ever changing work in progress, accessed by about a dozen people 24/7, to constantly reflect our player movements world wide.
Location here: http://www.thevoyageurs.org/mother-of-all-canadians-abroad-list/ . (Please Note the many Tabs below).
You may not now this, but we have an unbranded URL you can embed or link on your own websites. All I ask in return, is that you please give credit to @Canucks_Abroad , if you decide to use it:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mfyBdTWcz7Jk9i7IFim-6XLLLAuPPm8TGLqZNNKkfaQ/pubhtml# .
There was a big amount of resistance to this change here on the forum. I'd appreciate some feedback on how people are liking it now that the process has been in action for a good junk of time? Constructive criticism only please.
Also, it is the time of the year, where we should all check our various regions of expertise and see if anything still needs to be updated. I'd appreciate your collective help in identifying mistakes. Just post it here and we will update.
If you want to be part of the independent Canucks Abroad team, ping me via DM and we may be able to facilitate that, depending on the amount of time you can commit to this creative social media experiment.
Cheers,
Jon Eden

So his other nationalities are actually Trinidadian and Italian (the doc has him listed as Korean).
Fixed.

It wasn't a shot at you, the work you do keeping it updated is greatly appreciated. With Dub basically creating a thread for every up-and-comer and Grizz being on the board before I was born I figured the discussion would have taken place elsewhere.
I remember when I first joined the board whenever something was posted in the MOACAA thread I got pumped because it meant shit was happening, now more often that not it turns out to be a dick swinging contest about who knows more about a league/country/politics.
Gotcha. Yeah it's hard for me to moderate this thread, as I have no rights to do so. But I certainly like this suggestion. Would be best, if we just posted updates, or at the most reasonable rumours.

But I agree to a certain extend and have voiced this: Lets keep politics & other irrelevant stuff out of it.

Lubeck have apparently rejected Terek's offer for Cornelius and he has flown to Spain to train with another interested team, Norwegian Tippeligaen team, Stabaek. According to the article a transfer to Terek is still possible but Terek will have to increase their offer to Lubeck for it to happen. Lubeck is also negotiating with Stabaek on a possible transfer.
This transfer saga is insane...

Still no agreement on the Cornelius transfer between Terek and Lubeck. Cornelius is back in Lubeck and not at the 3rd stage of Terek's training camp after participating in the first two. According to a Lubeck team official one or more other teams are now interested in him though that might be just a negotiating technique to drive up the fee. The Russian transfer window closes in 6 days.
Gulp. I more or less reported this transfer as official, pending medical, on the Two Solitudes Podcast.

The QSF just reported on their Facebook page that Zakaria Messoudi has signed with Odd.
Yeah he signed a while ago, it was just pending paper work. Great to see it's pretty much official now.
I moved Hanson Boakai to 2nd division Croatia. Not looking forward to tracking that, it's almost impossible...

Terek finished their 2nd stage of training camp in Malta yesterday with a friendly against a Maltese team that Cornelius did not play in. The opposition was weaker and Terek started a weaker lineup as well and only won 1-0 so not sure what the significance was of Cornelius not playing. They will start the 3rd stage in Italy in a few days so it will be interesting to see if he is invited to that stage. Even if the trial is not successful it has to be a very good experience for him at 18 years old to train and play several games with a first division Russian team against at times pretty decent teams much higher than those he would face in German 4th division. Plus he has been in Germany for 2 years and despite the praises of Lubeck's staff as far as I know has not gone on trial in any of the bigger clubs a short drive away from Lubeck. There is no guarantee he would in the future. Sometimes one can stuck in a system or at a level for a number of reasons or not get the right opportunity at the right time so he would be crazy not to take the chance to jump up several rungs on the professional football ladder when given the opportunity.
Thanks for monitoring Cornelius closely. Please let us know when there any updates.

We will update the NWSL stuff in the next coming days. Please be patient. I am a bit flooded in "real life" work atm.

For now. I just checked the table. Yikes.

He's a defender who played with K-W United in the PDL last season and at Cleveland State University.
Yup, he is already on the list.

Of course we do. Thanks.

I don't know anything about Grozny, so I can't really contribute to this debate. However, I do think that Luebeck would be an ideal place to develop. But then again, if he can make it at Grozny, that's a much much higher level!

Guys it's an interesting discussion, but for this thread my suggestion would be to keep politics out of if for the most part.

Caleb Clarke has signed with SpVgg Unterhaching in the German 4th division. They were in the 3. Liga last year but were relegated.
Yeah, they are a traditional club from a district in Munich. They made waves when they got promoted all the way to the Bundesliga. Good move for him. He already knows the league and was successful there with FCA II.

According to transfermarket he has a contract with Lubeck until June 2017:
http://www.transfermarkt.com/derek-cornelius/profil/spieler/328609
So if that is true Lubeck will get a transfer fee, not development fee. If he was not signed they would get nothing because he was never signed officially by the club.
Cornelius turned 18 in November so the signing was recent.
Thanks.

I believe Cornelius was one of the highly rated 97's from the 2013 U17 player pool that chose not to sign with TFC academy. Good for him that he was getting high level training in Europe, too bad Andrew Gordon couldn't do the same.
I hope his German club gets a development fee from the Russian 1st division club. He trained there for 2 years without playing a single game!

Some rather interesting and surprising news. Derek Cornelius who is supposed to be a very promising talent has been training for 2 years with VFB Lubeck waiting for his playing permission to play in Germany from FIFA has now finally received it. He was already training with the first team and probably would have seen action already in the 4th division had he received clearance. The problem is he was underage for signing as a foreigner but his father actually moved to Germany to work so they were trying to get it because of this reason. However, it looks like the motivation for the move was not his father's work but rather to have the son training in Germany and his father then looked for a job to allow that. Now he has approval but I suspect it is merely because he has now turned 18. At the moment, however, he is not with Lubeck but on trial with FC Terek Grozny of Chechnya in Russia. He has played some friendlies for them in Malta where they are holding their training camp. He is currently back in Lubeck for a 3 day break but will take part in Terek 2nd training camp starting in a few days. They have moved him from forward to centre back apparently. If he can stick with them it would certainly be a good move career wise though Chechnya although currently much safer than it was a decade ago is still a pretty dangerous place for an 18 year old though I imagine the team takes good care of the players.
Here is his management on Facebook with periodic updates: https://www.facebook.com/frank.friends.sportconsulting

And some articles in German:
Wow, thanks for this!

Okay, too bad. I moved him to Unattached FC.
