While looking at Le Havre wiki page noticed that they have a 17 year old Canadian goalie playing on their reserve squad. Nikola Curcija, anyone know anything about him?
He was scouted by Le Havre at an ANB ID camp in 2017 and signed with their academy. He just started playing for their reserve team in National 2 (4th tier) this season.

Finished in 7th last year in the top flight. Nice move up for Boakai, hopefully he can get his career back on track.
They also won the cup last year and they'll be in Europa League.
1 hour ago, shamrock said:Anyway since he was on a 2-year contract a transferfee must have been paid. Must have made a couple of bucks for FCE then.
It was one year with an option for a second. Finnish clubs don't pay anything more than symbolic transfer fees, so if they did it would have been literally a couple of bucks at best.

I'm not sure if this was already stated here but according to the USL website Gabriel Wiethaeuper-Balbinotti is signed by Ottawa on a loan deal. He's one of the three mentioned here: https://www.uslsoccer.com/news_article/show/892627?referrer_id=3335786 (the other players being Michael Salazar and Thomas Meilleur-Giguère).
The articles says:
Balbinotti has been a standout for the Montreal Impact Academy U-18 program for the past three seasons, featuring in 44 games and accumulating 26 goals, and now enters the professional ranks by signing with Fury FC.
“I had a chance to see [Balbinotti] last year and am pleased to see him commit to our club,” said de Guzman. “He is a great addition to our group and will greatly benefit from Nikola’s expertise and experience in his development.”
Balbinotti isn't on loan, it's a permanent signing. Montreal are just retaining his MLS rights I assume.

Sorrry, embed not working. He retweeted it so sounds pretty official. @ctrafford10
Has yet to be officially announced by the club, but yes it does seem legit since Charlie retweeted it.

I don't seem him listed on the roster, on a slim website, but there are only 17 on it; but here he is from a tweet from today's preseason game, he's no 8 if I'm not mistaken.
That's not him, vaguely similar to the hairstyle he used to have, but different player.

Does anyone know if he's eligible for us?
Apparently all we know is that he has a Canadian passport somehow. The issue is that he played for Uruguay's under-17 team back in 2005, so if he didn't have his Canadian passport before then he won't be eligible for a one-time switch.

More than that. Falkirk was a better team. If he wasn't going to move up a level then he should have stayed there. I hope Fraser doesn't become a journeyman bopping around lower level clubs, if this is the level of offers he's getting I'd rather him come to the CPL when it launches.
1 hour ago, Boominbooty said:A bit underwhelming no?
This is pretty expected, he's Championship starter quality but he didn't get consistent playing time at Falkirk because they have incredible depth on the wing. This is a good move for him.

Iain Hume has signed again with Kerala Blasters, his first Indian Super League club back in 2014.

Nevelo Yoseke has signed with Oskarshamns AIK in Sweden (3rd tier)
http://oskarshamnsaik.se/forandringar-i-oskarshamns-aik-spelartrupp/
Soccerway has him down as a Canadian citizen.
He appeared for Canada at the 2013 U-17 World Cup, so he is definitely a Canadian citizen: http://canadasoccer.com/?t=profile&pid=13020

I was hoping this team was in the 2017 CONCACAF League, but it is not. Are Guatemalan teams not in this competition?
No, Guatemala's federation was suspended by FIFA last October due to political interference by the government. They are banned from all international competitions, including CCL, until the ban is lifted. That said, Suchitepequez wouldn't have qualified anyway.

Does anyone know what happened to Brad Beaumont and Maleik DeFreitas-Gray? Both joined W Connection a few years ago and then disappeared. They came up with Toronto Skillz but neither are in League1 Ontario as far as I can tell.
Maleik DeFreitas is playing for Master's this year, he has two goals in four appearances so far. Don't know about Beaumont though.

A couple new faces in League1 Ontario based on the boxscores from week 1. Chris Mannella (formerly with TFC) is with Vaughan Azzurri. Dario Conte (formerly with Ottawa Fury) is with OSU Force.
OSU's Gabriel Bitar and Justin Earle are also former Ottawa Fury players. It also appears that Stephen Ademolu is playing for Windsor Stars once again at 34.

Swedish 3rd tier? Not likely. Surprised since i thought he'd do well back in the Veikkausliiga, which is a higher level.
Husqvarna aren't a bad team in their division, and it's presumably a starting role there while he was signed by Turku as a backup.

Ex-Montreal Impact youth player, Victor N'Diaye, is now playing with Toulouse Rodeo FC in the French 5th tier. He was with a club in the French 4th tier. I believe he made his debut for Toulouse Rodeo in the French Cup last weekend.
He played a handful of games for CS Mont-Royal in the PLSQ last season as well.

It's official.

Looks like Marcel de Bellis is leaving Ottawa. That's surprising to me, I would have thought he would have stayed and finally broken out as the #1 with Peiser rumoured to be leaving.
I wouldn't say it's super surprising. The Fury have always rated Marcel highly but I imagine they are looking for a third keeper who could compete with him for a starting role in case he didn't turn out to be up to snuff given that he's still very inexperienced; i.e. it wouldn't have been what Marcel wants (and needs), which is an uncontested starting role.
It's also possible that the guy who scouted him in Italy and brought him back to NA in the first place, Marc Dos Santos, wants him in San Fran. Otherwise I think he would be better able to get the playing time he needs elsewhere in the USL, somewhere in Europe or maybe even in League1 for a time.

Caleb Clarke is now playing for FC Amberg in Bayernliga Nord (tier V), he signed there in August. His new club played in the Regionaliga Bayern (IV) with Unterhaching last year, but were relegated. He's also now a teammate of Canadian midfielder Scott Kennedy.
He has made 8 appearances so far this season, scoring one goal. According to Amberg's teamsheet he's apparently injured at the moment. http://fcamberg.de/1-mannschaft/

French father, no evident link to England. May have a good shot at these kids as the French will probably have a lot more options domestically.
The article doesn't actually mention where he was born or where he's from, meaning he could very well have been born and raised in England. At the very least, according to his Burnley profile, his parents go to see their sons train and play seven days a week, so they clearly live close by.

Good move if he can break into the starting XI. Augsburg has not been a good situation, the jump from Regionalliga (4th tier) with the reserves to B1 is huge.
Stanese is eligible for Romania and i believe has already been approached by their U21/23 program a couple of years ago. We need to keep in close contact and bring him in as soon as he's racking up minutes and doing well.
We capped him in one of the Iceland games in January 2015. He still has his one-time switch so he could theoretically still play for Romania (or the U.S.), but that seems highly unlikely given that Romania are a very strong team, so I don't think there's too much need to be paranoid about him. At the very least, if his career starts to take off he'll be back on Canada's radar long before he's on Romania's.
It does look like a great opportunity though, playing for a recently promoted club in a top flight league could be an ideal springboard for his pro career.

This is a rather big move up, yes?
It's the same level, the Regionalliga in tier IV and the same division as his former club as well; I wouldn't say it's an earth-shattering move given that he's 28 and almost certainly not seen as someone who could move up to the first team in the future given that Borussia are one of the better clubs in the Bundesliga. That said Borussia II finished 4th last year, whereas Wiedenbruck were mid-table so perhaps it could be a more likely route into the 3. Liga.

The CSA lists his birthplace as Mexico City and his profile makes no mention of the US at all, but it's definitely him. I assume Dallas' media staff just default to Frisco and American if they can't be bothered to find an academy player's specific details.
