    A couple of my friends taught him in grade school. They say he is an outstanding young man from a great family. Best of luck to him. Nice when good things happen to good people. Thanks to @pöhelö and please keep us posted.

    I believe this sums up all the moves for the week.
    Fraser Aird (23) loaned from Dundee United to Queen of the South in the Scottish Championship.
    Rocco Romeo (18) loaned from TFC to HB Koge in the Danish 2nd tier.
    Liam Millar (19) loaned from Liverpool to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership.
    Ballou Tabla (19) loaned from Barcelona to Albacete in La Liga 2.
    Adonijah Reid (19) signs Le Havre Ac in Ligue 2.
    Will include Zorhan Bassong because he is still eligible for us. (19) transfers to Cercle Bruges of the Belgium 1st tier.
    That is a lot of young Canadian talent, imagine it will only increase with the CPL starting!!
    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?

    Beard gave his two new signings, Adriana Leon and Cho So-hyun, their first minutes in a West Ham shirt against City. Leon started Sunday's fixture while Cho was introduced in the second period. 
    Both the Canadian and the South Korean gave a good account of themselves and the Irons boss was delighted with how the duo performed on their respective debuts.
    He continued: "We threw Dri in at the deep end. Ideally we would have brought her off the bench. But I've worked with her before and she's worked with me, and she understands what I want from a player in that position. I thought she equipped herself really well today. She hasn't played for two months but I think she did really well."

    Yes he has signed.  
    Here is my translation of the Finnish article:
    "New player contract - versatile Jonas Häkkinen has signed with Vaasan Palloseura 
    Vaasan Palloseura [VPS] has signed a player contract with the young Finnish player Jonas Häkkinen. The contract is 1+1 years. [unspecified whether the option is one way or two way] 
    Jonas Häkkinen is a multi-functional player who owns both the Finnish and Canadian passports, and who can play both stopper and defensive midfielder. 
    "For the last few years he has played stopper, but before that he has played defensive midfielder, as well", VPS head coach Petri Vuorinen comments. 
    Häkkinen has played his entire career in Vancouver, where he has played in the Whitecaps academy. Häkkinen has Finnish parents and he speaks good Finnish, although his native tongue is English. 
    "Jonas has trained with us for quite a while already. He came to Finland to uplift his career. Comparing him with other players of his generation (1999), I believe that he has the full potential to succeed in Finnish Premier League", Vuorinen analyzes. 
    Very little about this promising player is known in Finland. Contact between the player and the club came through his agent. The youngster has trained with VPS for a month already. 
    "The agent suggested that we give Jonas a trial. We decided to take him along and have been judging his play. In the last few years, many young players looking to develop have trialed for us. This time we found a good "match". I do not think many have heard of him here, even though he is Finnish. He is a new face for many here in that sense."
    In addition to his playing skills, there is another thing Vuorinen specifically likes about Häkkinen. 
    "He has a very tough but healthy attitude about sports and football in general. All that is right", Vuorinen comments. 
    Jonas' own interview will be done during November. 
    --------
    Since it's my first post, I figure it's fine to use this space to say hello everybody, too. I am a VPS fan from Finland - a cold, stable Northern country, with an under-performing National Team with a history of promising players selecting some another country, and whose general public has an unhealthy obsession with this sticky-sport played on ice.
    Suppose this description also explains to you all why I have somehow developed kind of a weird sympathetic affinity towards the "soccer people" in Canada, and hence I have been following your NT for the past few years, including lurking on this forum occasionally. So I figured that now that this guy signed with my local club team, it would be a good excuse to register here too. So I do hope you guys don't mind having me as an "outsider" for our countries are yet to develop a fierce rivalry in this sport. (Although I also wouldn't mind, if in the next few years one developed over Häkkinen's services at the senior level. )
    ---------
    Would Jonas warrant his own thread, btw? Now that he's going to be playing here, I would be more than glad to contribute with updates on Jonas etc. since I watch every VPS game anyway.

    Keep your head up brother. Don't be hard on yourself, crap happens. Good things come to those who are patient. You'll make your mark and find some stability soon, I'm sure. How long are you out for and are you staying in Denmark?

    I'm confused. If he has no connection to Chile then why is it listed as his second nationality?
