Senorpopps Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) This is the picture that was posted by Pacific FC's twitter account teasing tomorrow's signing. Neither De Jong's tat nor Edgar's matches the one in this pic. Let the investigation continue! Edited February 4, 2019 by Senorpopps ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Signing De Jong would be a major coup for the CanPL. He has such a great reputation and is still at the top of our depth charts for a LB or 2nd depending on where we play Davies. toontownman and KW519 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I just realized that this would give PFC the best striker (Haber) and defender in the league. If confirmed it’s a huge move for the quality of that team. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2SKI Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Marcel looked to still have plenty left in the tank with Vancouver last season, and the team could certainly use his experience with all the young kids we've signed. I'd be thrilled to have him in Victoria. De Jong, Haber, Simpson, Friend, Silberbauer... Those are some high quality footballers getting involved with this club. It's great to see.

matty Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Doesn't de Jong to Pacific ruin the whole BC only image of the team so many love? But seriously he would be a great signing and would give them the vet they really need...but he is a York Region boy....

Keegan Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The Whitecaps better be careful! That is going to be one motivated PFC side in the Voyageurs Cup. Great signing.. they're coming together nicely. DrummingInMySleep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they've denied it numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I guess he can join the organization as a coach or in some other form after his career. When he was at Fury FC he was just way above the level, surely Haber will put in 10-12 ish goals if he get's those Marcel de Jong bananas on his head. ted, C2SKI and LAK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Good signing for PFC if it happens. The only team in BC angle is helping them a lot in recruitment terms by the looks of things. Looks like MDS thinks he has lost a step of pace or something and doesn't see him being in his plans this season, but he'll still have plenty to offer at CanPL level.

Senorpopps Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If MDJ does sign I imagine he'll be the best player (at his position) in the league, although maybe not the most valuable given he plays outside fullback, with Bekker and Haber as close contenders. Nevertheless, would love to be proven wrong by some of these youngsters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOnFire Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 MDJ would really be a coup for the league. Imagine, De Jong and Chung.... Pacific would arguably have the two best left backs in the league. I noticed that Rohan Ricketts was playing in LO1 last season, granted he's 36 now and his best days are way way past him. But considering the level of most signings, could he be worth a punt for a season as a bit-part player somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jose Hernandez and De Jong I think PFC just took the lead from Forge with the best roster to date. Really exciting to see young guys take the chance.. look, it’s a pretty easy decision. Play for a u23 friendly squad or go pro with a team that actively states they wish to move you on to higher levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copes Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If MDJ is real than I agree, Pacific is going to make a huge jump in launch-day quality. That is a scary team to have to face. DrummingInMySleep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroArrow Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm not as up to date on the CPL as I should be, so perhaps someone here can help me out with a question on DeJong. I did a quick search of MLS salaries and it looks like he was in the 150,000 range in MLS. What would he be looking at at the CPL level? I'm assuming it would be less. Would it be enough for someone to live on in the Victoria area? He could love the area but he still needs to earn a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he'll be getting 150k at PFC, but he still gets part of his MLS salary this year and (I'm just assuming here) he can enter the organization after his playing career. So if he can get half of his current salary plus a job-guarantee, that's a pretty good deal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could also immediately move into a role where he is both player and helping coach on the defensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
